In other pirate games i have played you could fire cannon balls and puncture the sails of a fleeing ship.
This would affect their speed and allow you to slowly catch up.
Alternatively you could puncture the sails on the persuing ship and use your speed advantage to slink away and gain distance.
What would be your thoughts on having something similar?
You could pepper the sails with cannon b alls creating several holes which at first dont affect speed too much but the more damage the more of an impact it has.
You can repair your sails but to do so you must grab some sailcloth and repair them!
There would be a pretty good balance for solo and crews i imagine.
As a sloop only has 1 sail, you could easily throw your repairs on to the sails there.
Bigger ships will be much slower to repair these due to their extra sails, however they will likely have crews on them mitigating this.
I can imagine some seeing this as a nuisance and i totally get that. Heck, i think even i too would find it annoying at times but i must admit it would add a new dynamic to it all. Especially sailing through a storm lol!
Im 50% on this myself so understandably i dont expect this to be popular.
Whats your thoughts?
