I really miss stealing ships. I have only snagged 5 over my time on Siege, and one of those was in deed form. It's tough, very few people use ships, and those that do, don't typically run around with keys in their packs. The 3 of the 4 ships i have stolen, I have had to steal the key, and then get a GM paged to move my character to my new ship since we can't recall of the keys on Siege.
The other one I snagged was most fun. Someone was dropping a ship in Serps hold and I happend to stroll by at this time. i walked up and started talking while snooping his pack, I stole the key unnoticed. The trick was talking him off the ship. I simply asked him to walk off the plank, and he did. At that moment, since he hadn't had time to pull the anchor, I just double clicked the tiller man, and the ship was mine. I'll have to dig up some of the screen shots, it was like 30 minutes of ranting which eventually turned to whining about the cost of ships and how i hadn't done anything to earn it.
I still laugh when I recall that steal. When people ask why i have always played a thief...that story always comes to mind...la
