This is just an idea but what if we had a skull like the fire breating one but it pushed players back and if used on a ship while facing backwards behind the ship it would propel the ship forward gaining speed.
New Skull - The Skull Of Winds
Hmmm... Good idea, gonna take it into a different direction myself. Instead, why not bellows? It’s a simile concept, except you use it to put the wind in your sails. Of course, this would have large consequences on ship chases, but it would sure make them more action-packed! I haven’t the foggiest on how Rare would implement these, or wether it’s a good idea at all, but it does sound pretty entertaining.
I think this idea would be more interesting if it charged a sort of "ball" of wind that would be charged up (3-5 second charge time?), then releases. On impact, the blast could be similar to that of a gunpowder keg minus the damage? It could be useful for pushing ships or throwing players overboard, though probably near useless on skeletons on land.
Want to change the direction of another ship? Put a blunderbomb into your cannon! It may not do any damage, but it packs a wallop! Hit the front of the enemy ship to knock them further away; hit the back of their ship to knock them closer to you. Use them strategically to crash your enemy's ship into rocks, docks, other shots, and even bots! 😉
