What I Would Do with Weapons

[Bartholomew Foulsteel]

Honestly, I wouldn't add any new weapons--just give more choices of the same weapons available.

HOWEVER, if I were actually adjusting weapons in POTCO, this is what I'd do:

Cutlass--needs to be viewed as the primary weapon. Keep reading and ye'll see why.

Pistol--no probs with the single, double, or triple-barreled varieties. BUT, they need to be DESTRUCTIVE when you hit. I mean seriously, it's a pistol for crying out loud. Additionally, they should tale a LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time to reload... most historical pirates carried anywhere from 2-4 pistols. WHy? because they worked so well, but took too long to effectively reload in battles.

Dagger--good weapon, but not as destructive as the cutlass. Sure, ye can throw it, but not gazillions of times! Perhaps more suited to a sneak attack from behind....

Grenades--okay, maybe not carrying hundreds oif them would be good. These should be few and far between weapons, but exceptionally destructive.

Voodoo doll. Ugh... I use it in-game for healing, but really don't like it. I'm not aware of every pirate in the Caribbean packing a voodoo doll. I'd just get rid of these, personally.

Voodoo staff--Okay, I use this a LOT when boarding flagships, but again I'd just get rid of this thing. I mean until POTCO I had never even heard of a voodoo staff.

Cannons--you shouldn't buy ammo for your cannons and carry it around--the Captain of the ship should stock the ship with ammo. Isn't that why the Captain gets a bonus in the first place?
