hello, while shooting my gun i thought it would practical to have a silent option to kill (other than cutlass) and immediately thought "one-handed crossbows". good silent option, realistic for its time, adds variety to game play.
One-handed crossbows
While early pirates (1500s) did use bows and crossbows to some extent, by the time of the Golden Age of Piracy they were almost unheard of. Muskets and pistols were more reliable at sea, and their ammo was more versatile and easily stored. They also had a greater intimidation factor, a crucial element for real pirates. So although it's a fun idea, I can't see crossbows of any kind coming to Sea of Thieves.
