Cannons On Boats

Recommended Posts

Yes people time has come to add Cannons to boats. 


 


Just when i saw people posting totally useless suggestions i would like a positive change.


 


We can install Cannon on a ship for some silver coins. This way the big ships will be used in PVP.


 


Knarr, Coribita- 2 cannons max


Cog- 3 cannons max


Caravel- 5 cannons max


 


Suggestions noted:   ballista and catapults work as well on deck by Mkck, Contestani


 


Thus full crew is needed and each person has to aim and shoot those cannons like archery + catapulting. 


 


Once a ship is destroyed it can be looted of the silver that was used to buy cannons


No players die until 1 ship is destroyed. 


 


This will be amazing experience to PVP.


 


This is a rough idea but has potential to take this game to a higher level.

how about.. NO, -1 . No guns or cannons.

doesn't have to,be a cannon, ballista and catapults work as well. Naval pvp can bring in new faces as it's a VERY requested feature in sandboxes and largely only in DF and AA.

Personally guns and cannons are two very different things.

Cannons not, but will be more accurate I think for these ships  ballistas and small catapults on the deck.

Gaul... you should know better than this  :P


 


Now ship-borne ballista and catapults are another matter entirely...

Catapults and ballistas on ships would even rock on PvE reclaiming harbors...... 


 


Who knows, would encourage some Freedomers to try our sailing skills at the borders of Chaos.... bit o' the ol' piracy yarr?

Ballista and cannons can use the same basic game mechanics. Cannon ball is just a line of sight shot like a ballista projectile. Not sure why the objections. It's not like they explode or anything. And rate of fire would be abysmal. Accuracy would suck. But they could look and sound neat. All that smoke and fire.

No need for cannons, just need to be able to fill smelting pots with tar and light them before firing them off a catapult :3

And sometimes the pot breaks upon launch and sets your boat afire.  :lol:
