Tag ship builds with builder name

[Driekus]

Let the ship state the name of its builder somewhere, so that any good crafter may take pride in his builds and let the names of the best builders be wishpered across the seas.

Yes this being in the ship's stats window would be really cool just as recognition of who made it

Is there any quality difference ever between a ship built by X and 1 by Y? Or is wood, metal, etc.... always the same across the board? (stat's, durabilty etc...)

I'd say this would be great if the materials had different qualities to them. If so then someone that always used the best would get a reputation for quality and could command a higher price.

I know in SWG that certain names of craftsmen were guarantees for high workmenship.

Heck yeah, I remember having a sought after crafter on UO - Catskills server back in '98. That is a pretty neat addition. Good idea!
