@lethality1 nahhh i wanna de mast those runners or fire someone forward and catch up to them.
”End Reaper Runners!” “End Reaper Runners!”
@lethality1 i suspect, for now at least, the front facing cannons are tall tale only, there are multiple shots of ships in the trailer and only in one special ghostly ship there are front facing cannons
@lethality1 said in If we get those front cannons...:
If we get those front cannons added to the sandbox mode...
.... then we'll get rear facing cannons too?

I hate Reaper runners as much as the next PvPer...but...it would be insane if they only added forward facing cannons.
I also feel like it would be absurdly powerful to have a fully functioning cannon at the front or at the rear...
If the cannons were limited to JUST cannonballs being fired, that would probably make the most sense from a balance perspective.

I think it is just art and they are not really adding these cannons.
That said, bow and stern chasers as they were called, were smaller cannons. They would not do the same damage as a main gun.
I can't imagine bow chasers, the balance between PvE and PvP is already off, adding those would make it worse.
I could see stern chasers as that would give smaller ships a fighting chance. The "old" balance for smaller ships was to run upwind, but with the red sea change that is not really viable anymore.

Bow and stern at the same time could mean that big and small ships can both have the same number of guns on eachother in a chase.
Of course bow chasers also mean the chasing ship can fire boarders forward.
