Accuracy debuff with increased speed

[Berett]

Ok so I know we hate all those silly fail gankers... well what about something as simple as nerfing all ships accuracy at higher speeds?

I dont know if any of you have tried shooting something from a moving boat, but I have (water baloon launcher in a sailing regatta ftw!!!) and your chance of hitting the target decreases a lot the faster you go. So why not something similiar in PotBS?

Ships dont accerlate and declerate on a dime, so simpy dropping sails wouldnt suffice, not if you are going 24 knots.

IMO this would cut back a lot on HMC and Khan ganks as they wouldnt be able to hit while doing 31 knots.


Discuss please

It already works like that...........................

You get a -62 accuracy penalty at 31 knots.

Maybe. But not outrageously so, in my opinion.

Didn't they cap that at 25 knots at some point?

I seem to recall a patch message or such mentioning a cap to the speed penalty..

Edit: Rilly, they should just up the penalties on integrity and stuff for failfit items. I understand that lightweight guns are to be axed at some point entirely, but if they changed runner's rigs from -5 crew def to say oh -12.5% to -20% sail integrity (which actually makes sense; a heavily loaded riggies tuned for speed is more likely to break catastrophically under fier than a lightly loaded one that's optimized for redundancy and strenth), and upped the armor penalty for racebuilts and and added some to streamlined....

i like the idea of loosing mast integrity for speed like that. and it makes sence.
im not sure it would stop anyone from failfitting tho..
