Hey, I was talking with my bro and we were talking about how we love sea of thieves but the combat pvp is lacking. We were looking at real pirate weapons and found some that could be really cool.
Boarding axe: these were typically used to break the hull of another ship. In Sea of Thieves this could be a melee weapon that has a longer swing animation than the cutlass and is slower but does slightly more damage. Also more importantly, it would allow the player to damage the ship without cannons.
I am sure many players have experienced having their ship sunk and climbing onto another ship but having no way of damaging their ship. This would make a player boarding your ship a lot scarier and more intense. But it also would make the boarder more vulnerable while hacking at the hull.
Rapier: Rapiers are light and fast. This weapon would have a faster swing animation and allow more hits but would deal less damage. Charging an attack with the rapier would result in a flurry of swift slashes. This flurry may also be able to reflect a great deal of light, creating a shine effect that temporarily blinds someone looking scoping with a gun or spyglass.
With the addition of the Reaper's Bones alliance, I think the game could be due to enhance the combat.
