If you were a Game Modder.

ramjamslam:
So consider a fictional world (a world like this one but a bit more steampunky) where you are an elite programmer with awesome game modding skills and you can provide your own modded GoIO servers for people to play on.

What Guns of Icarus Online Mods would you make?

For me, I would start with a ship + gun randomiser server as an entry point into modding.  For fun I might also try disabling vertical movement on the Water Hazard map for a classic ocean ship battle.

What are your ideas?

Riggatto:
I'd probably just go crazy adding costumes/skins/weapons of characters  from other games

Wundsalz:
Weapons with interesting ballistics. Boomerang behaviour; rockets spinning in a helix; maybe something with projectile lift instead of drop - stuff like that. Also  I'd alter the harpoon, letting it reuse the plastic toss model which is currently only used for rams, to tow enemies (and maybe friends alike).

Squidslinger Gilder:
GOIO 1.1 mode...mod to end all mods right there.

Omniraptor:
I would make some changes to how navigation works. The aim is to shrink everyone's sphere of perception, placing a lower emphasis on positioning/map control and a higher emphasis on brawling.

- Remove the drums, or make them only start after you take enemy fire. NO MORE FREE AMBUSH PREVENTION.
- Minimap only shows your position, not heading. (circles not arrows). This actually makes the compass useful and add navigating as a skill.
- Rectangles from spotting only last 10-ish seconds, even if you still have LOS. No more ship names for spotting. This prevents boring gameplay of blind-firing at rectangles.
- After a spot expires, there's a 5-ish second grace period in which you can't be spotted again. This is to help people escape behind clouds.
- Spyglass no longer puts enemy ships on the minimap.
- Rangefinder can now spot, rangespotting puts enemy ships on the minimap. (like spyglass used to)

Now, these are all nice changes that buff agressive brawlers, so reactive snipers might be feeling a little sad. To make them slightly less sad I would give them fog goggles. https://gunsoficarus.com/community/forum/index.php/topic,2876.msg51582.html I haven't really thought much about the goggles yet, but it would be easy to make them overpowered.
