Holes in sails & Fix your ship option

  • zSlipp1n

    Just one idea that I think can make the game more interesting, why not add the possibility to hit someones sails, holes and rips, making them slow down every time they get hit and the only way to fix it is going go an outpost, park your ship and talk to the ship lady just like putting a new skin on your ship.
    love to hear your thoughts :)

    I think your idea is a good, but flawed one. I'm all for tearing holes in the sales and slowing ships down, but having the only way to repair them by going to an outpost is a broken one idea that can be heavily abused. Instead, have an extra resource like with wood/cannonballs/bananas, such as the silks you get from some crates, and use that to repair the sails by standing up in the crow's nest. Watching an animation of a pirate knitting as they do this (like fixing the holes in the ship below decks) would be pretty funny, I think. They could then add damage and repairs aesthetics, like holes and patches into the sails.

    I think the idea could be simplified by just having us damage and take down masts instead, causing them to topple, and that way making it mechanically easy to repair with planks at the base.(though should obviously be a lot slower than plugging leaks)

    I would like to see that you need to repair damage by climbing the mast or raising the damaged sail all the way up. The main reason for this is to require the crew to split up by repairing sails above and holes below.

    As it is now crews can repair as fast as the cannons can shoot.
