Heavy piercing weapon
-Muse- Cullen:
I think that a heavy piercing weapon could be effective- make it something like a huge, ropeless harpoon that would do a whole mess of damage to the armor, but only fire one shot per 10 seconds or so. This would make the weapon more strategic than the Gatling as of now, which is just to 'shootshootshootshoot' and 'keep your crosshair on the hull, not the balloon, you silly'. Making it do this burst damage would make it an effective choice, but its reload would want the ship to be at a safer distance away, and its (perhaps) lackluster accuracy would require the ship to be within close range before using. What do you guys think? I believe a single shot device, which contrasts against the machine gun, would work well as a non-spammable armor shredder.

:P I didn't read this before I posted my suggestion. Great minds think alike, huh?
Lord Dick Tim:
A one shot heavy ballista? With a slow movement and vicious mechanical pull? It would just reel ships in one clunk at a time, I could see this being a nightmare if your on a goldfish, engines full reverse with kerosene trying to pull a galleon backwards, then all of a sudden the galleon goes full burn backwards with moonshine and butt rams you.
Bad bad day.
-Muse- Cullen:
Ropeless! It wouldn't do any reeling action.
Lord Dick Tim:
Rope less would definitely work better in the case I was making.
What if it hit with the mass and inertia of a ship ram?
