Sea Transportation and Trade (Cargo) System
🚢 THE ERA OF SEA CARGO TRANSPORTATION AND MARITIME TRADE HAS BEGUN! 🚢
The custom Sea Cargo Transportation system has been activated for New Hope UO! This system allows players to purchase cargo and transport it between harbors using their own ships, earning massive gold rewards and gaining Cargo Experience Points (XP) to level up their merchant status.

🎮 Getting Started & Buying Cargo
To begin cargo trading, visit any Cargo Master NPC located at the major harbor docks.
  • To accept a cargo contract, you must have your ship launched and docked near the Cargo Master (within 30 tiles).
  • Double-clicking the Cargo Master opens the trading menu, where you can view available contracts, destination ports, distance, cargo purchase costs, bank rewards, and XP gains.
  • Cargo is virtually loaded onto your ship (no physical items are created inside your backpack or hold to avoid weight limits or duplication exploits).

⚙️ Autopilot Mode
For long seafaring journeys, players can activate the automated navigation system!
  • While aboard your cargo ship, type the command [cargo or [kargo to open the cargo interface. From there, you can toggle **Autopilot** mode.
  • In Autopilot mode, the ship automatically sails towards the next waypoint, moving one tile every **0.3 seconds** (matching maximum boat speed).
  • **Bypassing Sea Monsters:** Autopilot ships automatically ignore collisions with mobiles (such as water elementals, krakens, and sea monsters), sailing straight through them without stopping.
  • If the ship hits land or a static obstacle, Autopilot will automatically stop and alert you. You must remain online/active during the journey.
🚢 Ship Size Capacity & Profit Multipliers
Larger vessels can carry higher volumes of cargo, multiplying both the initial purchase cost and the final gold/XP rewards proportionally:
  • Rowboat (Tiny): 0.5x Cargo Capacity & Profit/XP
  • Small Boat (Default): 1.0x Cargo Capacity & Profit/XP
  • Medium Boat: 1.4x Cargo Capacity & Profit/XP
  • Large Galleon / Longboat: 1.8x Cargo Capacity & Profit/XP
  • Galleon (Gigantic Britannian/Orcish/Gargoyle): 2.5x Cargo Capacity & Profit/XP
