Mermaids shouldn't damage ships

    I have no issue with boarding meta and having to defend against them, but Merms popping in front of ship when they go for boards and crashing into them shouldn't damage the ship. Correct me if I'm wrong but I feel like I've had this several times, preferably shouldn't be able to hit them but if not make them like shipwrecks that don't do damage.

    This must be new or something. I've never heard of it before. I'm gonna go try and find one to run over later lol.

    Mermaid statues can certainly damage ships - hitting one of those is disastrous, or so i hear.

    @pithyrumble I doubt its massively common for them to pop in exact path of ship but I've had it a few times.

    I don't believe it's supposed to. It used to happen...then it went away for a long while...now this season I've had it happen a couple times.

    I don't think it's supposed to either but I've never seen it happen that I can think of.

    My crew has run over a skeleton captain with our galley, to no effect against the skeleton, but I'm pretty sure it was the island that damaged the ship.

    They are extremely loud when you hit them, but they dont damage ships as far as i have seen unless they changed something.

    So your saying a mermaid popped up in front of your ship?

    I think we need to remove your grog barrel.

    @foambreaker yes, when people try to board you they generally shoot towards /in front of your ship. Or when chasing and they jump off back. I've taken damage from it several times

    Title misleading. “Mermaid Statues”
    They are sailing and apparently coming across low sea floor with a statue and it’s so close to there ship it’s damaging them.

    1. could be your dragging the ocean floor and taking damaging. Not the statue
    2. I believe they use too and don’t anymore.

    @burnbacon No I think he means the player spawned statues that teleport you back to the ship. Has happened to me a few times too.
