Bear Traps (Defense + Hunting)

@revanjstone well i mean if your ship has 15 traps on it, thats pretty limmiting to you lol. if we got traps i would probs try placing them on enemy ships. i mean that would be pretty funny, to be tucked on a ship after you placed a trap in their chests lol.

i like the idea of using them for animals, but as an actual combat tactic ehhhhh. i mean it would definately be fun to get other players with it, so idk for traps to be a thing, i would want them to be something you have to find, and it cant just sit in your inventory, you would have to carry them like you would a skull. if it works like that i am cool with it

I will pass, I would prefer to preserve what little stealth gameplay this game has left. Someone being able to, Macaulay Culkin "Home Alone," their ship just puts a damper on that.

@nabberwar I hear you about stealth. Could just disarm it elderscrolls style and put it in your inventory, or even better...whilst hidden, move the trap to somewhere they dont expect. Listen out for the clank and use it as a signal to attack 😁

@daringclarky
I would rather not have it than have to deal with dealing with counter play around it. Disarming takes time, their already is small windows of opportunity to sneak on if they are slightly aware.

I personally don't enjoy this, others may, but I'd at least note my distaste for it.

@nabberwar Thats fair.
I agree i wish we had better stealth stuff.
Sneaking on a ship can be a thrill.

@faceyourdemon Exactly 😁

I was thinking that you are stuck in place and have to mash a button or something to open it up.
But a crew mate nearby can speed that up by helping.

The longer its on your leg the more HP you lose.

With ALL ships having only 2 ways aboard, barring landing on their deck. 2 traps would make you 100% safe from being boarded, this sounds way too overpowered.
