Fruit as cannon projectiles

  • Hello Pirates of the Sea of ​​Thieves!

    I come with a suggestion that I hope you will like.
    The idea is to bring a new utility to the fruits of Sea of ​​Thieves and propose a "paintball" projectile system to organize fights à la Splatoon.

    Sorry if some words are badly chosen, I use google translate.


    < A fight that stains <
    Use the fruits as cannon projectiles!
    Although harmless, splash your opponent to inflict a vision penalty on them like a bucket of vomit.
    Stain their ship and have paint battles.

    When a fruit is fired from a cannon, a ball of paint comes out as a projectile of the color corresponding to the fruit used.
    On impact, the projectile stains surfaces, blinds enemies, and covers them head to toe in paint.

    Banana and pineapple - Yellow
    Coconut - White
    Pomegranate - Red
    Mango - Orange
    ??? - Blue
    ??? - Green
    ??? - Black

    The paint stains persist throughout the session. Players must jump into the water to wash themselves and throw water to clean their boat.


    ~To go further in the idea~

    .> Make fruit juices >.
    Place a piece of fruit on the pan and give it a few swipes to turn it into mush. Then recover the liquid in the form of a bottle.
    Or head to a merchant to get a case of fruit juice.

    .> A little drink is nice >.
    Juices can be consumed with the main key to regain health, remove blood alcohol and poison effects, or even slightly fill the regeneration bar.

    .> Leave your mark >.
    Juices can be used as paint with the secondary touch to draw a symbol or write a message on the surfaces.
    The drawings are not cross-server but persist as much as possible on their own servers and can be erased if thrown with a bucket of water.


    Thank you for your attention!
    I'm curious to know what you think about it.

  • I love this! Food fight!

  • @jojo5613 Fairly Odd idea lol, but I won't knock it. With that said, this will never come to the game, it's not needed. Really no real reason to add something like this, really niche idea.

  • Not particularly interested in the juice mechanic, but love the idea of firing fruit out of cannons. Have to agree it’s a fairly pointless mechanic but would be hilariously aggressively-passive. Forced into unwilling PvP? Shoot ‘em with a mango to express your non-aggressive displeasure!

    Actually fruit hits could be added as a milestone to encourage non-destructive PvP 😁

  • Well I fully understand your opinions, it's true that it's not a suggestion that directly answers some problems, but I think it's a "passive-aggressive" option that the game lacks a bit, a way to let off steam without destroying, without hurting.

    I admit that the fruit juice system may be too much.. , I think that there are always ways to deepen things (and also to expand the fruity possibilities).

    But the main idea is to be able to use the fruits as paintball projectiles. And I'm happy to have read your feedback, even if it's not a highly anticipated feature, this idea has always seemed obvious to me,... although useless at first sight...

  • Would love to be able to throw coconuts at people to stun them

  • A trolls dream... No thanks.

    Also, you can already sober up from a drunken stupor by having a crewmate splash you with water - no fruit juices required!

  • @galactic-geek

    Oh at this point..?
    I'm not sure I understand how this idea is especially suited to trolling...
    Is it perhaps having to clean the paint that bothers you?

    Trolls are a problem in game, but I'd rather be covered in paint by a troll than be sunk by real cannonballs fired by a troll. At worst this doesn't fix the troll problem, but I have a hard time seeing how it could make them more powerful.

    Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd be curious to hear the reasons.

    It's kind of like that...

  • @galactic-geek

    ... What ...?

    Unfortunately, you are not very helpful... But thank you for the effort to have answered me..

  • Thank god, I thought I read furry paintings...

  • @capt-soul-beard
    I can change the title. Maybe my main idea will be understood a little better. :P

    I preferred the old one lol. It had a "What did I just see" moment and I went into your post to read more.

  • This would be a great way to practice with other players, imagine if you Alliance with a crew and shoot fruit at each other no harm to either ships!

  • @jojo5613 i love the idea
