This is an extension to my first suggestion which was about cycling cannonballs for ships.
Another issue with ship combat (as well as pvp) is that ammo is completely unordered. Right now, ammo types (cannonballs, bullets, and arrows) are set up in the order that you obtain them. This is an issue because most people will obtain ammo from chests (which is entirely random). This leads to loadouts across slots being entirely different from each other.
Additionally, important ammo types that you would need to switch on the fly could be buried at the bottom.
Ex. Light cannonballs are on the 5th slot and heavy explosive shells are last on my Cfist character
There is no way to fix the order outside of trading the entirety of your cannonballs to a friend or alt. This can be fixed in multiple ways:
- Ammo can be equipped and unequipped through your inventory by clicking on it. Your loadout will be arranged by the order you equip them. (It will auto-equip the moment you obtain it, but you can go in to re-order)
- While holding a weapon (gun, bow, fighting style), you can click and drag ammo types to sort them. Or pressing a key will bring up a menu to set the order. This also can be done on ships.
- While holding a weapon and then Pressing a button (such as Y) will bring up a menu to re-organize your ammo. Can be done on ships, and there wouldn’t be a chance of accidentally doing it like #2.
Vetex can choose whatever he thinks will be the easiest to implement. At the very least ammo should be standardized.
