Hi,
This came up in another post but i thought i would give it its own place to test the waters. Check what people think.
Sometimes you spend a lot of time fighting another ship, your blasting away, shot after shot, hit after hit with your cannon. But it doesn't sink because the ship can be endlessly repaired as long as there are planks available. And some ships seem to have a ton of planks. Or in the case of galleons that are docked, just repair the bottom bit below the water line and they can't sink.
To spice it up a bit and reward good sailing and cannon marksmanship perhaps if you hit a vessel (especially a galleon), X amount of times, within a short time, a large hole or wood split occurs which is harder to fix.
Not sure of the amount or the time. It would have be be assessed what works well. Maybe something like 10 hits in 30 seconds just to pick some numbers.
