Making ships transportable was the step in the right direction, now we need to be able to build all ships on land.

No, we need to be able to make planes that float. We need a licho vs duck meta to be a thing.

We need planes that can dive when they encounter AA, dig a hole when touching ground, then travel underground untouchable and lastly BOMB SINGUS FROM BENEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

REZ UNDERGROUND FOR THE SAKE OF SUBTERRANEAN MELEE BOMBING!!!! (wywern works too, their attack should suck stuff underground where the unlucky grabbed units will be eaten by giant worms!!!!)

You already can. They're called heavy tanks.

And if you want ships that you can build on land, and then move into water, you've got these as well, they're called hovercrafts.

Invoke the Emmanuel precedent - give all ships rollers, for slowly traversing land

In all seriousness

- assuming there was zero dev work required for anyone to implement -

is there any argument against giving ships the ability to slowly traverse land on legs/rollers? It would fix so many problems with sea gameplay.

I don't understand which problems with sea gameplay in particular you're referring to.

The sheer unintuitiveness of the idea is the biggest reason I can think of not to.

The main problem is on maps like supreme island, where one player or another might win the sea after a long porcy battle, and then find 10,000m of sea unit cant actually interact with the opponents land-based base, prolonging the game forever. If ships could engage legs and march on land, the game would end.

Either: don't play that map, or reclaim your 10k ships and get half cost off detriment.

We actually have that factory. Also, consider the opposite: what all i have is a victorious land army and the remainder of enemy-occupied map is water? Should my land units all be magically amphibious?

(Correct answer: wtf is this map and why am i even playing a map that's obviously either not designed for the game i'm playing, or is so badly designed it sucks beyond imagining)

This thread reminds me of the old "Remove all non-striderhub ships and replace them with hovers/amphs" concept.

Do the reverse: Everybody gets ships! Put the sub, the hunter, and the surfboat in every con's build-list. Ships for everyone! Then everybody can start cloakybots on any map.

Just terraform the whole enemy base down to sea level. On Small Supreme Islands this might actually be realistic. Or create a channel towards the lake in the middle of the island.
