Can anyone explain the Harpoon Gun to me?

(1/3) > >>

Arthem White:
Yesterday my crew and I decided to try something for fun and fit a Pyramidion with 4 Harpoon Guns. Time to go whaling!

The idea was to use the front harpoons to attack to the enemy and ram it repeteadly. Despite not knowing much how the harpoon worked we thought it would help keeping us lined up for the ram.

Oh boy how wrong we were.

After the disaster of a game that followed, I just want to ask: How exactly does the harpoon gun work? I didn't feel any traction on my ship when we had the harpoons attached. The only effect I could measure was a completely inability to turn, apparently related to the direction the other ship was turning to. This made it completely impossible to ram, and at some points I could swear I was under the effect of moonshine, except without the awesome speed.

So, how does the Harpoon work exactly? What is it good for? Is there any loadout that uses the harpoon?

Thanks!

Coldcurse:
it shoots harpoon.

the harpoon gun was first invented to hunt skywhales.
the skywhales now are exterminated because people have hunt them down too much.
lord dick tim was the one that killed the last skywhale.

now the harpoon gun is only there to remind us of the skywhales.

Lord Dick Tim:
You get a salute for that coldcurse, and for posting the link for our friend here.
