Hi, long time Player here but this is my first time Posting anything in the Forums.
First of all, sorry for any spelling mistakes, English is not my first language and I have to go back a little to explain my suggestion.
I've been playing since Launch with friends, alone and with random people and i am really happy with the game and even more with the updates. Every time a new update pops up, me and my friends are stunned about, how Rare seems to add features that me and my friends would wish for, even without us beeing active here on the Forum.
There is one exception though and it has become something of a running joke in our four man crew.
You see, every time we play with our now very experienced crew, we end up with a (litteral) boatload of Tresure on deck and it takes at least 15-30 minuets untill we have sold everything. Rare has allready fixed that problem (slightly) with Treasure Chests that can store three small items. But for us (and i bet many other crew out there) thats not quite enough. So we pondered possibilitys of what Rare could do to speed up the selling process a little more but keep it in tune with Rares style. First we thought about Wagons, like the wagons you see standing around in front of some of the Taverns. Maybe you could use them on outposts like "Rowboats for Land", with one guy pulling the wagon and space on the wagon itself to place treasures. But since the sea of thieves is a place of Mischef and sometimes outright meanness, those wagons would either be destroyed or hidden by people and probably more trouble than they where worth...
So finnaly here is my Suggestion Rare:
Let us shoot Treasure out of Cannons, just like you can do with players.
this has several cool consequenses. first of all, crews like mine could be way more efficient in unloading huge volumes of treasure. but also Sloop players would benifit as they have to haul all their stuff alone normaly.
The exact details would have to be determened, but i think treasures should be even "heavyer" than players or chainshots are in respect to their firing arc, so its really hard to aim them and they cant fly over an whole island.
There is also the posibility to allow for Gunpowder barrels to be put into cannons, using them as "ammunition" but if the enemy ship sees them sticking out from the cannon they can snipe them inside the Cannon or in the air to detonate them early. And they would not have a great range anyway since they have the same fireing arc as all treasures.
Lastly, it would be hillarious to us to "driveby" carpetbomb a new player in a shower of high value treasures.
Think about it Rare,
And in any case thanks for a Great Game!
