- YOU NEED BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN AT LEAST 30fps IN-GAME FOR THIS MOD TO WORK DECENTLY. In order to tweak your game or actual system to gain fps, see the tweak-section below for tips.
- 30-40fps = Jumpy and Studdering Objects
- 40-50fps = Occasional Studdering
- 50+ fps = Flawless Operation
- This mod requires a certain level of system performance; when not met, the ship\'s pieces will appear to \'studder\'. If your system is inadequate, it will NOT ruin or destroy anything.. it simply won\'t sail as smoothly as you may want it to (using this mod will NOT adversely affect anything in-game). For lower fps rates (<40), you should use the \'Observer\' or \'Navigator\' view modes to minimize the studder effect. Please see the section below for more details.

- READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE DOWNLOADING AND USING. This Mod is still unfinished, but is 100% usable and performs as described below.
- ONLY POST COMMENTS IF: you have something politely constructive to say, have a technical problem, or want to express your truthful opinion on the Gokstad (don\'t forget I READ this stuff, and may respond accordingly!).
- Sail the icy seas of the North, in REAL-TIME, using the FIRST sailable ship for Skyrim! The Gokstad will have you and your horse out to any island or coastal location in speed, safety, and style... did I mention you can ram it into enemies on the shore? Attack them with your bow or magic WHILE STILL SAILING.. for Skyrim drive-bys! Optionally spawn a raiding party when you beach the ship, to help fight anything closeby. The ship is also a safe, portable Player-home, with its own map-marker; choose from three different interiors.
- Adds a custom-made, precisely authentic, SAILABLE VIKING SHIP. Modeled 1:1 scale to the real-life Gokstad longship in Norway.
- The ship is also a portable & safe place to sleep, perform alchemy, or permanently store loot.
- Choose from THREE different Player-home interiors; the authentic Gokstad, the IceRunner (Vanilla-clone), or Katariah (also a Vanilla-clone). Eventually, I plan to enable followers to enter them.
- Available for free at a new dock; located just North of the East Empire Company Warehouse (near Solitude). The dock is immediately in front of the waterfront door (in the cliffside) which takes Player up to Solitude (inside the walls).
- PORTABLE MAP-MARKER; located wherever the ship is. Fast-travel is disabled while sailing, restored when stopped.
- When crashing your Gokstad at a fast enough speed, it will cause fireball damage to anything nearby.
- You may also opt to spawn several friendly attackers during this sequence; choose from Nord Raiders or Draugr Warriors.
- Instantly travel to a distant do
