Bigger ships

  • I think they should add a 8 player ship because it would be cool and fun and 4 cannons on top and 4 on bottom on each side like the flying dutchmen and black pearl that would be sick(Chances they add it is gonna be very low)

    Cool, Fun but only for the ones who sail it. Not for everyone else.
    Balancing that ship would be troublesome, and most cases...it full of randoms who all cant even take care of it. :P

    It would not be fun for everyone fighting it. It would be unsinkable. Incredibly OP.
    EIGHT people working together versus 1-4 man crews.

    and 4 cannons on top and 4 on bottom on each side

    So extra cannons that players cannot be shot off of or shot overboard, with the ship's hull absorbing much of the damage of a cannonball?
    Also incredibly OP.

    It’s already tough getting 3 players to follow simple instructions on a ship… imagine 8 running around causing chaos 😂 Who would actually want that headache?

  • @somerandom11111

    Why stop there? Get a 16-player boat on one server, 32 cannons, and everyone gets everything.

  • @guildar9194 you gotta balance it as well add debuffs and nerfs like it floods faster and add a 6 man it easy to get away from because it would most likely have 4 or 5 sails
    it's easy to move around it because it's big

  • @somerandom11111 We don't need bigger ships in SOT, just bigger sharks!

  • Ok now imagine you are playing as a solo sloop and this ship rolls up on you. How is that supposed to be balanced? You would never have a chance to win. Like even against NPC level swabbies. They would have enough firepower to just spam cannons in your direction without aiming and you would have no chance. Good luck boarding them. You'll get sword blended to hell and back. This is again, not even a good crew I'm talking about. There is just no way to balance an 8 player ship. Hell, this game makes it hard to even get 2 friendly sloops on the same server because 2 sloops is already overpowered.

    You can't balance a 6-man ship.
    Even if it floods faster; You have 2 extra people to help with bailing and repairing.

    easy to get away from because it would most likely have 4 or 5 sails

    I mean, more sails would be FASTER, not slower.
    Plus, you have more people to help with sail management.

    it's easy to move around it because it's big

    Not a drawback. A good crew of SIX PEOPLE would still make it impossible to fight.
    That's 1/3 of the server population working together.

    The idea is just too broken to balance.

  • @potatosord

    Case in point (see my other post to you).

  • @guildar9194

    Please don't feed the troll. A short while ago there was a post about a ship with cannons on the second deck (which they know is ridiculous). Everyone posted about how imbalanced it would be, with the OP still insisting. Now they use it as a troll to stir people up. I just simply agree with them now, suggesting why can't Rare make a 16-player ship with 32 cannons instead?

  • @somerandom11111

    That all sounds like a fantastic idea. I'm sure Rare has read this and will start working on it as soon as they can!

  • @somerandom11111 the servers would not be happy, unfortunately.
