Seagulls, just an idea

    For years, SoT players have been asking been asking for:

    1. In-game mini-game
    2. Less downtime sailing between locations
    3. Better target practice options
    4. Enhanced environment interaction

    Solution: enable seagulls to have hit makers, and even better, be shot down.

    I have nothing against seagulls or any animal life at all, but having an option for “duck hunter” while sailing would be an amazing lift and preoccupy crews that choose to refine shooting or have friendly challenges.

    No need for them to drop items, no need for commendations. Just simple allowance for player interaction. Dare I say, this would be a great option for all life on the seas. Players have hit markers, so should everything else.

    Cruel. Very cruel to shoot those creatures that don’t provide anything.

    That’s the reason they want them to be able to shot down. 😐

    I don't like killin' in the game unless it is a fair fight.

    but I do have an idea for this,

    rather than killin' them we can help them,

    a lot of fishing line out there and sea junk. Shooting at them doesn't kill them, it can drop (chance drop) treacherous plunder on the boat and scrap paper aka deliveries like wood crates, fruit crates etc. Stuff that gets tangled up on 'em.

    They get to fly off free and we get something outta it.

    Are you travaling 1/4 sail or something everywhere? It doesn't take long to get around the map and there's plenty to do on the way to places.

    @captdirtyoar I personally play exclusively half mast. I also think you missed the context of the message in that snipe.

    Ok so, when I was new to the game, I met some kind pirates who were showing me the basics and answering questions I had at the time. One of these players, told me I could kill a seagull to help me get better at aiming/shooting. To prove it, he quickly shot at a few flying overhead, ran over, and brought back a raw piece of chicken proving it to me, saying the game calls it "chicken" when it's actually seagull.

    I practiced. And practiced. I could never shoot a seagull down no matter how hard I tried. I even reminded myself that statistically speaking, I should've at least shot ONE of them down by now, but for some reason I sucked. There was no way I'd be good at the double-gun. I'd better work on the sword instead. Sigh. It wasn't until several weeks later I learned the truth. This is now an inside-joke with my friends, who tease me about it, so this morning I was thrilled to see someone make this an actual suggestion. Thank you so much @EL C4PITANO.

    LOL I screenshotted your post, and sent it to them saying I've been vindicated, so they can no longer tease me about this.
