I really enjoy the new sea forts, I like that they are quick because that means that I can divert from my normal voyages to do them without it being a giant ordeal. They also are a lot easier for me as a solo sloop than a skeleton fort.
However, two things really bother me about them:
- I really like that you can fish for Pondies in the basement and cook them upstairs after the battle. However, Battlegills do not spawn if you fish off the side of the sea fort prior to defeating the phantom captain. This feels generally inconsistent with the Battlegill spawning logic, and might be an oversight?
- The animations for the cabinets are incredibly sluggish. There's a long pause between me hitting "Use" and the cabinet opening. I often hit "Use" again, which results in a long pause, the cabinet opening, then closing again. I feel like these animations need to be sped up or made snappier. I love pillaging these forts for loot in these cabinets, but their animations make it an absolute chore sometimes.
That's all I have. I love how much thought was put into these things in terms of making them fast to loot. The rowboat dock in the basement with the loading crane, the little floor hatches to make dropping loot down to the bottom level easier...everything is well thought out except these two bits. Oh and I also like that these Sea Forts have made the Kraken much more common. I've been attacked twice in the last few days after months of not seeing her at all.
Thanks for the content Rare!
