💡 What is motivating this suggestion?
It came to me in a dream (yep im that nerdy)

💡 What is your proposal?
A gimmicky ship weapon that shoot ice chunks towards enemy ship.

💡 Exactly and specifically, what should be changed and how?
Considering the fact that our ships are made with metal sheets, gum and prayers ... My proposal is for a gun that shoots water under high pressure which freezes upon leaving the heated barrel (the barrel is heated to prevent the gun itself from freezing).
Every shot an enemy ship takes reduces its movespeed (fly speed) in a stacking manner due to ice buildup around the engine.
The gun might be long range but at the same time it doesnt deal massive amounts of damage so its more like support weapon for ships that have 2 gun slots to help them out catch up to faster ships.

PS: i have never seen anything like this in any game... technically such weapon will never work in futuristic sci-fi games where their ships have space magic shields or whatever but marauders is weird enough to have diesel punk in space and lets agree that these ships yes do fly in space but they dont like like super high tech.

FOR THE MOST PART I WANTED TO SHARE MY DREAM 🙂

Even if it ends up as a meme, your idea sounds extremely fun. Maybe instead of damage to the ship the decreasing temperature would just lower the max health of people onboard the targeted ship and only through consuming copious amounts of spice and or some new alcohol added for this purpose you can stay warm

it was a stupid meme dream 😛

Actually this is super cool and would make sense in space spray would be the equivalent of medieval ships torching each other with primitive flamethrowers.

But since we can’t use fire in space and ice is in abundance, a weapon that is a ice chipper machine for short range combat against ships would cause structural damage to these metal ships because of temperature change
