The galleon only has 4 cannons on each side right now and the below cannons do not exist but there hatches are there. Will there be below cannons? Below cannons aswell would definetly complete the galleon but would it make it too much for an sloop? Well right now there are only 4 players that can man a galleon unless want only 3. But there already are 4 cannons the below ones are pointless. But for an future idea once more ships are made a galleon should have more cannons and maybe able to have more crew like up to 6 people so some of those cannons are helpful aswell. This would make the galleon more real looking and defenetly more realistic down below. And also there going to be a 4 man sloop. Galleons are fine to have there advantages give other people challenges and also only allow so many big ships in a server so its not so much for a sloop to take on. Any ideas?
Below deck cannons?
I've thought about this as well. I wonder if they struggled with how water would interact with the gun port and if they would act as extra holes to speed up sinking. Another though, perhaps they didn't want you to be able to shoot from so low because it would be easier to hit below the water line? Or how much you would be able to aim the cannon because you are now confined to a small window?

I think the lack of vision would make up for the benefit of lower positioning? I don't know i think they HAD to have thought of it and canned it for now, Who knows what new ships will hold. Eventually I'd like the ability to fully customize my ship at port. Place all the assest in predetermined locations and plan where I want my playout to be. It would help add life and make all ships different.

Not enough people on the ship to shoot the extra cannons
@ve111a I actually had a dream the other night that there was an update where you could determine the location of objects on the ship and I couldn't find anything in the middle of a fight lol.

No i mean like say you have 18 places to place 8 cannons on a galleon you can choose where but can only change it from a dock. I think that would be a cool feature but dunno if the engine allows customization.

l**o I hear you we are creatures of habit and some of us like to "enduldge in grog or tabacioo" while playing and that just makes it even worse. I'd get killed so many times before I remember where I put that darn banana barrel
