water bombs?

i see merit to this idea.

I like the concept, but it might be overpowered. I've noticed ghost ships go down pretty quickly once you start bailing water onto their deck.

@princes-lettuce ehhh, bailing water into skelly ships doesnt do that much from my experience, but you may be right.

@d4m0r3d

It does if u dont use "normal" water.

Water that floods in your ship via a hole will be "more" water than lets say the water barrel or a bucket from the ocean.

U can test this. Trow water in your ship, u can get it out again with a bucket and u will see this tiny bit of water will fill your bucket. But this bucket now has the tiny bit of water.

Now fill your ship with a GOOD amouth of water (get holes).
U will see that when u scoop now MORE water is being put in your bucket. Trow it back in your ship and u will notice a BIG rise in water. Use this "more water" on the skelly ships.

The more u put in the bucket the more u trow on their ship.
More water on it will sink it quicker.

@d4m0r3d pssst, it's called the bucket

@princes-lettuce yea fire is pretty effective against skelly ships

Bucket: a roughly cylindrical open container with a handle, made of metal or plastic and used to hold and carry liquids.

water bomb: (plural water bombs) A small balloon filled with water which bursts upon being thrown at somebody, used in play fights.

ofcoarse water bombs would be in class bottles like the fire is. i hope this helped you comprehend something as simple as this. idk if english is not your first language or if you are rather young, but hopefully this helped you understand.

furthermore, differences between buckets and water bombs:

you cannon throw a bucket,
you cannot store buckets,
buckets do not break on impact,
you cant shoot buckets out of cannons, and
buckets are used to empty ship water

you can throw water bomb,
you can store water bomb,
water bombs break on impact,
water bombs can be shot out of cannons, and
water bombs are used primarily as a counter to fire bombs.

having the ability to have both water and fire at the tip of our hands allows us to chose our own playstyle, a playstyle of firebending, or waterbending, the choise is up to us, do we want to burn ships down or flood them, do we want to master both, or use water for defence and fire as offence. unlimited choises.

anyways i hope this comprehensive explaination has clarified some things for you in order for you to gain at least somewhat of an understanding of this perplexing concept.

If having wet gunpowder preventing gunfire temporarily was a thing, could have been cool to "disarm" someone's guns with such water bombs. Would have been a neat counter to double gunning shenanigans.

@bloodybil it would be cool if you could just throw a bucket of water on a gunpowder keg to put it out. but for weapons that would be maybe a bit op, would make people only use swords, and people already only use swords
