I can provide two solutions for skirmish:

1. Mobile Naval Yard method
like in the image, but of course with fitting graphics
AI won't be maybe able to use it properly (needs testing)

2. Neutral Naval Yards (will be only present in our feature map packs)
function as tech building
AI may be able to capture them and build ships

3. Campaign only units
Let us focus on other stuff and keep ships for campaign only

I would say,Go for 2.or 3. .I don't know the coding well but If you can make a shipyard both as a ship factory and a refinery(with a harvester that works on sea) ,it will be cool and also tiberium on seas:). So if we capture these critical locations we gain not only a military advantage and but also an economical advantage.

There is hardly enough water in the maps to warrant the use of Naval units. If anything, I would just go with option 3 and come back to it later.

Mostly it would be useful with our maps that will be provided with the mod.

Some of them are water based...but for original TS maps the effort wouldn't be really worth :/

ATM I am doing experiments with the AI. If this is going right people may see an AI which repairs bridges, captures neutral tech buildings and promote it's infantry via Armories etc.

We could or search maps with much water. And both sides can build naval building (like Red Alert. Can heksus design a new naval building? :)

Could be possible, but ATM I prioritize on other things for 1.9.4

Already did a lot of work, but still some things left :P

Because of engine limitation? I recommend option 3..then 2.
