Maybe early to start asking for things....

...but I was wondering if we could get more ocean creatures. I know in the original Ultima saga, there were nixies and sharks. You could also possibly add sirines and maybe something invented like a storm elemental. Perhaps they could also have saltpeter on them as loot giving players additional means to obtain this valuable substance. Pretty please with saltpeter on top?

Ar, what good be it ta plunder the seas ifn yee never git a chance at a keg o dry powder, or RUM!

Either would beget a crooked smile, says I.

Actually now that I think about it, a better idea would be to make saltpeter be a resource you get off of fallen water foes. Then there'd be more incentive to sail the high seas of Felucca, due to the double resources, leading to more player vs player ocean battles.

I'm all for the idea of saltpeter being loot on sea creatures/monsters...

Hell, have it spawn near animal pens and farms!

Have it spawn in large quantities in MiBs, treasure chests, etc.

It should be relatively easy to get to offset the overly tedious cannon operation and maintainence.

Doubtful. There is simply too much water and not enough players for this to be realistic. Something needs to lure players into the same general area for PvP to even be possible.

Why is it doubtful? If you have a region of the ocean where the nixies spawn, for instance, players would have to go there to farm saltpeter. Thus they'd have to encounter each other, right?
