[crossfire] Should ship transportation cost money?

[David Delbecq]

Hey, i know i haven't speak for years in this list. But i still sometime
read that mailing list :p

Other time, other people, still the same problems.

But for old players that knew about mids' server in Dutchland (yes, the one
that was located in a university that burnt), I recall having written with
lauwenmark script that not only made ship cost money, but you had several
possible fees, the more you paid the most secure was the travel. But there
was always a risk that your ship sunk and you end up on the coast in the
middle of nowhere. THAT was good for exploration :D

If you search the script, i recall we named the ship the captain n'igloo
company :)
