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!
