So I discussed this before with Dark casually and seeing as there's some demand for it, I guess that this suggestion is welcome now that it is public.

Submarines.
Conflicting reasoning and voices from mods, last thursday Dark told me it's impossible due to lack of guidelines for it.
Seeing the list, it's basically a big checklist which members fill in with desired options.

Assuming there is no objection from Blue or so, I suggest adding another checkbox for subs. What I do suggest it to make it expensive (in the 10 to 16 mill range or so compared to armour etc.)
There's three crews I know of that have been wanting this so I'd like to hear an official answer this.

There actually is a crew with a sub already. Kinda had to make a price up on the spot, but yeah I guess we can figure out a fair submarine price and requirements.

I guess there's not much more to say here. I can erect a topic in W.C. I suppose.

Then Tommy tries to think up a plan to defeat this guy and after a few seconds, thought of the perfect plan to knock him out which was to punch him in the back of the head. He then out maneuvers him by side stepping to the back of him and punches him right on the back of his head perfectly which then knocks him out for the rest of the bar brawl. "That took care of him, now who next?"

Submarines are a pretty common occurrence in OP cannon. Trafalgar Law's ship is a large sub. In the anime-only arc, the Amigo Pirates have a submarine ship. The Straw Hats have the shark mini-sub. I think subs would be a good idea to add in. I would volunteer to work on a system for subs if there is a definite interest in adding them. In other words if I had some garuntee that it wouldn't just be ignored by the staff...

I'd really like a submarine, and I know a lot of other people do too, so if I can be of help in anyway, let me know.

This could actually be pretty simple. There are 2 suggestions I have:

1. Submarines as a new concept.
Basically this would make subs have their own sizes and adequate prices. Imagine the list for sizes we have now, only for subs and of course more expensive because you can go underwater.

2. Submarine modifier.
Like I said in post 1 here, another 'checkbox' so to speak that makes a ship a submarine. It'll cost a set amount possibly based on the ship size or maybe a static amount.

Personally I'm favour of option number 1, it allows to set how deep one can go based on ship size and the starting price would add in there somewhere. Naturally subs have some kind plating, a system to dive etc. so a base sub would be more expensive than a base ship like we have now. Not really in the luxury to make examples right now but I think the point is clear. In essence members get a choice between ships and their sizes or subs and their sizes. Sub being more expensive.

Being unbiased and untainted by other posts, there's no reason why there shouldn't be subs. One, it'd most likely be more difficult for them, considering they are sitting ducks underwater for Sea Kings and other badass fish. Since the ship needs to sustain the ocean's pressure, depending on how far down you want to go, it'd probably cost more, or require adam wood, if there isn't any coating on it. Subs are probably more reinforced than regular ships as well.

tl;dr version:
My analysis...subs would be expensive as fuck.
