So... Recoil? You can deflect an incoming rammer, but in doing so you'll destabilize your own ship? Sounds like an interesting mechanic. This could be used in so many ways. A Galleon could go slightly faster (by putting it in the rear-facing slot), a Junker could be made maneuverable (by putting water guns in all the side slots and floating sideways like a crab), a Pyramidion could cancel a ram (dual front-mounted water guns)... The possibilities are endless! This could be like rocket jumping: a mobility wildcard that could help or hinder you.

I think this idea is awesome :). An anti-ramming weapon would make captains think twice about using Klingon tactics :)
James T. Kirk:
I'm not sure if the coding in-game exists for impact damage to originate on-ship.
It's always an external force: a ram, a mine, a wall, etc.

(I find it extremely amusing that James T. Kirk answered this thread I mentioned Klingons :3)
I understand in regards to coding. That would be quite difficult to rework it for a "water cannon" O_o.
It would be interesting if there was a flamethrower with "water ammo" though :).

perhaps it would work like a reverse harpoon, that thing already exerts the force on both ships. Or for simply making the gun effective not have any recoil affect the ship that is firing it. Yeah i know that is not realistic but video game logic, plus it would make it easier to have it as an effective weapon.
