Traps that can be placed.

  • I’m thinking like bear traps, they can be placed for example at the top of your ladder, when someone boards you it traps them for a few seconds, can only be used once and only found in the wild. Traps can also trap the player who placed it and their crew.

    I figured this was a good middle ground for those who want better ways to prevent boarders and those who don’t want better ways, it’s an item that once used it cannot be reused and are rare to find in the wild.

    The trap should be able to be countered, for example hitting near it with a blunder bomb should activate it, so boarders, bring your blunder bombs!

  • They have this in Hunt Showdown and IMO has got the be one of the least fun mechanics in the entire game. In fear of this game becoming trap hell like Hunt, I'm strongly against this...

    I like the idea, but something that needs to have PVE use as well. Setting bear traps for skellies at forts would be interesting.

    To address the concerns of @Gallerine5582 we would need to make such traps be somewhat rare, and I would say they have to be friendly fire. You don't want to have a ship littered with traps so boarders can't move at all. Making them rarer, and friendly fire would mean you have to place them strategically so as to inconvenience others, but not hamper your own crew's functions.

  • Even with 1 use pve players would just take the time to stock up on ridiculous numbers of these. Hard no for me
