That sound great!  Actually never visited DTabb, maybe I should go for a
wander.

Maybe a `slow' ship map should be setup. An Idea I have been kicking
around.

EG: Enter ship.
    Forced wait with various messages about the voyage being displayed
    (repeated twice in different orders as magic mouths activate both on a
    ON and OFF signal! -- Arrrgghhh)
    Then exit opens to destination.

NOTE: a ship like this is, one map, for one direction, but could have
cargo to search, crew to talk to. and could have varing travel times.

Hmm with a bit of work you could even have a posible random event,
(like a 1/8 chance) for some fog, or a storm with lightning :-).

Now that would be a challenge :-)

If Mark says to I suppose I can incorperate the dtabb additions into the
current scorn update maps. That way we have one set of development maps.
