I think it'd be cool if instead of cannoning over to each other is instead put the ships on opposite side of an island,adding a actual middle battleground
This makes me think that SoT could definitely benefit from a workshop like Overwatch. People can make their own minigames for others to mess around with.
Not sure if nobody thought of this, or maybe you guys did and it was banned by your rules but why not use pets to launch out of cannons and bait the other teams attention?
Honestly I think everyone here is skilled enough to know the difference. Also they're close enough to see that it's a pet. That only works on certain players who are aware enough to listen for cannon boards but not enough to know it's not a boarder.
