Battering Rams

  • Battering Ram UPDATE
    I play Sea of Thieves a lot, between PVP AND PVE with a crew of 3-4 everyday. We talk about future content a LOT and one of the ideas we came up with is the Battering Ram. It was used by ships of this Era a lot in combat and provides another way of going about things (Ramming the enemy without taking breach’s to the haul of your own ship, but giving them a problem) -I think this would be a great thing for Arena and the Adventure Mode open world. It would change strategies and add a new perspective on how to go about things. We came up with some more ideas such as how they could function:

    •Found at Forts and attached to Haul of the ship by holding down button like a Rowboat
    •NOT Permanent, meaning that you wouldn’t attach this from ship customization like a figurehead and it would last forever.
    •After so many rams it would be damaged and break, but could also be repaired with more and more resources each time it’s damaged.
    •Could he dropped into the ocean by your crew or the enemy if they board
    •Different material types? (Wood, Iron, Bronze, ECT.) One material would be rare than the other
    Anyways, feedback would be great! I would love some positive and NEGATIVE feedback and ideas from the community, and maybe some different ways to go about the Battering Ram.

    (Shoutout to Aqazie on Xbox Live for taking part in this idea with me in a conversation !)

  • I like the idea, but follow the things that I don't think are cool.

    @ewnk said in Battering Rams:

    •After so many rams it would be damaged and break, but could also be repaired with more and more resources each time it’s damaged.

    As he is not part of the ship, as well as the rowboat, I believe that he should not be able to repair.

    •Different material types? (Wood, Iron, Bronze, ECT.) One material would be rare than the other

    I don't think a system of varied materials would be nice in Sea of ​​Thieves, I like the simplicity.

  • Ramming already exists in sot. A well placed ram could do 1 damage to your ship and quite a few bits of damage to the receiving ship.
    I think ship attachments are not what rare has in mind. In a way it would allow the tides of a battle to be unfair. Good idea but it may go against the ideal for combat in sot.
