A small metal object for slowly drilling holes in things.

Swim up to a ship that's stationary(or stand inside) and drill a hole in it's hull.
It would be very slow
It would be very noisy
It couldn't be used on a moving vessel
The driller would be extremely vulnerable
The noise could attract sharks
It would let water in half as quickly as the current holes do.

I'd be more open to a boarding axe/pike that does hull damage then a drill lol.

I thought this fitted in more with the cartoon nature of the game - Or perhaps a hole saw. Narrowly avoiding drowning whilst sneakily punching a hole in a ship. Hacking a way with an axe lacks elegance.

Why?

Seriously, I'm not trying to be an a****e or anything, but what would be the point of this? Really, if you just want to bother a docked ship, just fire a cannon at them.

They may have sunk you and you are marooned on an island looking for revenge. Or find yourself a stowaway with no gunpowder barrels.

@ttargetpractice said in New item suggest - Scotch eyed Auger.:

Why can't you do it while the ship is moving?

I think it'd be OP then - plus you can swim and drill at the same time, nothing to hang on to. If you're inside the ship then sure.

I can charge a sword dash and travel faster then a ship or throw up into a bucket and douse my captain in puke and we are worried about elegance?

LOL - the puke is funny, the sword dash swim is (AFAIK) an unintentional "feature".

@ttargetpractice said in New item suggest - Scotch eyed Auger.:

@mmountain That makes sense. I was under the impression that you didn't want it to be used on a moving ship at all.

I can see how you would think that.

@dustlessboot said in New item suggest - Scotch eyed Auger.:

@greaseman85 Because if you board a ship and defeat its crew and have no powder keg there is nothing you can do to sink it

This part makes sense. There should be some method to sink a ship when you're on it and undisturbed, beyond piloting it into the rocks or gunpowder.

@mmountain what if you are inside the ship fool?

Fool? Get some manners.

Swim up to a ship that's stationary(or stand inside) and drill a hole in it's hull.

@dustlessboot kill them until they scuttle

Spawn camping is a bad game mechanic.
