First off, I love harpoons. I think they've added a lot to the game, but I think there are some ways they can be improved...
1. Harpoon line should be able to be cut.
Two regular hits with a sword, or one sword lunge and it snaps.
This gives snagged ships a chance to escape.
Requires harpooning a ship near the water line if you want to make it as difficult as possible to cut.
Allows for daring jumps and sword lunges to free your ship.
Cut lines take a cool down period before they can be used again.
2. You should be able to run across the line.
Simply as stated. Very swashbuckling.
You can't run "up" the line past a certain angle.
This creates lots of fun ways to use the harpoon on islands, without being overpowered. Shoot a high ledge and slide down the rope onto your ship.
Just a couple thoughts.
