Since launch one of the bigger issues surrounding PvP is the issue of sinking a ship multiple times only to eventually be sunk yourself due to running out of supplies. Most of the suggestions have centered around penalizing the sunk crew in some way and the devs have said they don’t want to create a risk adverse environment (something I agree with).
May I introduce Athena’s Blessing. The Blessing rewards the crew that sunk a ship rather than penalizing the crew that was sunk. The Blessing is simple, doesn’t break the game and isn’t overly powerful. Simply put the Blessing bestows a gift of supplies to the victor. Wood, bananas and canon balls appear in their containers on the ship. For a sloop it’s X %, a brig X% and a Galleon X%. Simple really.
Floating barrels are great but not practical in a lot of scenarios and are random in terms of what’s in them. Hearing some magical chime, seeing your wood, banana and canon ball crates temporary glow blue and fill would be awesome.
I know it doesn’t address all of the issues but it’s a start.
