Proposal

Add a Hotkey to toggle (or hold) your ship’s cannons when taking control at the helm.

Details/background on your proposal

A small and useful QOL feature for ship fighting would be adding a hotkey (Left Control or Left Alt) to Arm the Cannons. This can be done by either tapping to toggle or holding down to enter cannon aiming mode.

Reason to add/change

There’s that popup that shows how much fame you gained, blocking you from pressing the arm cannons. If you ever start right by ramming a ship and forgot to arm cannons, you’d have to wait a few seconds for that popup to fade away.

Having a hotkey on your keyboard would be a great quality-of-life improvement for ship combat. If aiming siege weapons can be done by holding shift, why can’t cannons be assigned a button as well?

This is a very small feature, so I don’t believe it would take much time or resources to add as well. If you would like to discuss any more quality-of-life features for ship combat, please feel free to use this suggestion as a discussion!

yes plz

YUM YUM FRESH
24/7, yes please!

Yeah this should’ve been in game since release ngl

Hell yeah
Complete sentence

Funny enough I actually posted this idea for my Suggestor Request a few weeks ago, and I’m still waiting for them to reply lmao; but I’m still totally on board with this. Also additionally, what if we could use W and S while our cannons are active to switch between cannonball types as well? Since they aren’t really being used while captaining the helm anyways.

very much needed

That’s true, but W and S probably won’t be used as keybinds because of future rowboat type ships like the Viking ones planned in the Trello.
