Rocket ship

[Landsman]

In this video it is mentioned that the british used rockets as alternative to cannons in naval warfare. I knew that they used them as artillery on land but didn't know it was also used on ships. Here you can read about it in detail. This is pretty interesting in my opinion. It should be somewhat inaccurate but have a high chance to cause fire.  Can we add that to the game? @admin Premium ship for Legends? $$$

Dude you really should lighten up.  Did you see the little smilie there?  No battle here, let's do that in-game.

Maybe the joke is no good if I gotta splain it to you.

I thought you meant it would be too OP for PvP or something... lol

ship is added it became op

It could easily be balanced by accuracy of the rockets. They also have the mechanic for it in game already from mortar brig.... only visuals are needed.

I though a bellona doing 14 knots is a rocket ship, there are modern steamers that cant do that

Ok.

Insanely inaccurate.. I believe they were only used in firing at fixed land positions not moving targets. Plus the chance of them starting a fir of the firing ship and exploding would be about the same as anything they hit

I'd still like to see it as alternative to mortar brig... the concept seems very similar.

that would be cool.  But only if a hit to the deck can cause a chain reaction:)

It should most certainly have a higher fire chance on enemies as well as your own ship...
