you know something ive seen with arcanium ship parts is that only the heat based cannons give ship status effects and most of the magics that give non damaging status effects haave no change basically so i have an idea that will change that i will explain some changes that i personally would do to change arcanium ship parts
cannons
icecannons/ram-frozen status effect:upon collision the enemy ship gets a 13% speed debuff for 3 seconds:
water cannons/rams: the flooded status effect:enemy ship starts to have rough waters for under it for affew seconds dealing 500 extra damage while damaging your ship if you get to close( only if they are completely still cause the damage would have to be based on the speed of the ship and how fast they can get out)
wind rams/cannons/:tempestuous ship effect:when a ship is afflicted with this effect the sails on that ship effectivly get shredded making overall ship speed to decrease by 5% for 1 second
lightning cannons/rams:immobilized status effect:the enemy ship gets immobilized by the combination of lightning from the cannonballs and the sea water around the enemy ship giving an paralyze effect that completely stops the ship for 0.9 seconds and dealing 100 extra damage(i forgot if lightning had a status effect that did some to ships but this kinda feels like a better rework
*metal rams/cannons:gains the ability to synergize with other arcanium ship parts better with the Fractured status effect
i am gonna make part 2 later
