New cannonballs?

[firemal]

I had a dream where in POTCO there were new types of cannonballs and you could stuff anything into the cannons (like in the movie). it would be nice to have a few more types of cannons (maybe not the stuffing anything into the cannon though) to make mastering the cannon worthwhile (now that weapons can level up to 30. What kind of new cannonballs do you think POTCO should have?

Lets see from the movie I saw:

-Forks
-Knives
-Spoons
-Rum of Gibbs

I want a Jack the monkey cannon shot , ( short range only , like grape )
it does no damage but removes the captain and 70% of the crew from their stations,
for 5 seconds , steals 50% of the ammo from a ship if the attempt is successful.

It lowers ship speed by 30% for 10 seconds , and takes extra cargo / bounty from the ship. The shot would cost 100 gold and you would only be able to hold 3 at a time.
Adding skill points to it would increase the time the encounter lasts.

After the Jack has raided he jumps back onboard and walks around the deck of your ship.

The shot would take 2x the time to load as explosive.

If your monkey shot misses Jack is on a line and you can pull him back in once his
raid is done.

YES!! i like this, exept the ammo stealing thing, that would be plain annoying

How long would it take for them jack to recharge???
One jack per ship time out?

Oh , I forgot to add to this , that while the monkey is terrorizing a said vessel,
You can attempt to kill him in which his Hp is 1K and is a constant moving target,
but it the event you kill him any limitations on your ship will be removed and the ammo and cargo restored.

That doesn't make since, 1 you cant kill him. 2 he's helping you and 3, you couldnt see him.

Well , this isn't the original Jack the monkey ,its just a undead monkey lvl 17-20,
but any undead thing still has its limit before it gets Ko'd.
