    Yes, i know that there was already a thread about harpoons. But my point is: how useful is the arrow machine on the warboat? I think it would be much cooler to have a 1 shot harpoon that would reload after like 30 secs or so and you could walk on it, and would act as a rope. It would make the warboat inmovable until the line is cut. It would make the warboat and targeted base very vulnerable in my opinion. The shot itself would slightly damage the targeted block and its surroundings. I like the idea, an actual water siege engine, not just a spawn point

    PSA you can put a ballista or catapult onto a war or long boat, and climb the bolts of the former/get shot forward by the latter. I feel like this is 80% already implemented and the rope part just adds a huge complication.

    Well, for my defense- I didnt know that you can put catapults on boats (most people just go with naval/siege workshops and tunnels) and the arrow machine is rarely used, and dats because it has small range, i didnt say that it has to be in the official gamemodes. Althrough it would be noice to have something more useful than just arrows with low range. Like i said- an water siege engine, not just a spawn point
     
  4. What if... instead of shooting arrows it shot out water, like a water gun! Infinite stun lock ftw

    Sounds noice on paper but.... i think it would be just shooting water arrows and that would be like- it stuns, enemy goes underwater and is out of fire arc, still noice

    That got me thinking..... Shark in a crate25252525 :smug: 25252525
