Glorious Nui Clipper
A Clipper to help your faction in naval PVP battles. (submarine).

The Clipper can only be used by one person (like a speed boat), when someone is on it they can activate the following skills:

1. +15% swimming speed for people within 30 meter range.
2. Defense: The ship emits an aura that increases the physical and magical defense (by 5%) of team members within 20 meter range. (The aura lasts 25 seconds and causes the ship's speed to decrease by 35%). (1 minute CD) (Grants a stack for the "Glorious Nui Ultimate Passive").
3. Attack: The ship emits an aura that increases the damage (by 5%) of party members within 20 meter range. (Aura lasts 25 seconds and increases ship speed by 10%, but decreases ship defense by 30%) (1 minute CD) (Grants a stack for "Glorious Nui Ultimate Passive").
4. "Glorious Nui Ultimate Passive" when the Clipper dies it goes to the bottom of the sea and becomes a Glorious Nui for 3 minutes.
   Conditions "Glorious Nui Ultimate Passive":
   • Raid members will be able to revive on that Nui and will be left with a debuff that will not allow them to revive again on a Clipper that has the “Ultimate Passive Glorious Nui” for the next 2.5 minutes.
   • Members of the enemy faction will be able to attack said nui and the effect will be cancelled. (The nui will have 150k HP).
   • For this passive to work, the ship must be destroyed when it has accumulated 5 stacks of the "Glorious Nui Ultimate Passive").
   • Stacks are cleared when the ship's owner dies.

Make fishing more interesting ~~

---

A Fisherman's Clipper

Equipment:

• Fishing tanks to hold 2-3 fish in the current equipment/pack slot areas.
• One hook for a garg, for example situated where the default harpoon is.
• Regular clipper rig/propellant which can be regraded.
• Instead of the UBAs found on regular clipper, there'd be the chum bucket for buying basic chum, maybe the 2nd slot could have cooking tools for crafting the ocean fishing chum.

Images for reference

Original chum bucket vs chum bucket option for the Fisherman's Clipper, one barrel:

Positioning of the equipment on Adventurer's Clipper layout:

Skills:

• Propellant skill if one is equipped
• Owner's mark
• The two skills to boost speed and turning speed
• A buff skill that increases fishing prof by 10k, only works in range of the boat (20-25m)

Notes:

• There will not be a fish finder, but seeing as a clipper like this would be able to maneuver easily, can sail around scouting instead.
• Fishing like this is a less risky because it would be easier to sail away from possible attackers, and you'd lose less fish if you do get attacked.
• A fishing clipper would make more places interesting for fishing because there's no speed decrease when sailing west/east.

ima give some of my ideas for a real battle clipper or you may use those for a new battle clipper :

Equipment :

• you can equipe any type of telescope because whats the point of using it in a battle if you can't see you enemy from long distance
• you can equipe any type of canons in it (since it can have a canon in it then it should be acceptable to use any of the canons)
• the sea serpent propellant for it instead of having the reduced siege damage only ,it deals siege damage when u ram someone)

Notes :
- some people will use this clipper to chase the merchant schooners ,this clipper can be a real threat to them or lets say kinda unfair
so what to i don't know if thats possible or not,
the solution against that is to make it deal less damage (both the canons and the sea serpent propellant) to merchant schooners.

 

[Sparkle]

Can we submit multiple ideas or just one?

Can do multiple.

Just for clarification, we are coming up with skills and possible gear/equipment for a new clipper? So just a text description?

Anything. Can be text, screenshots. No strict requirements here.

 

[Pristali]

A support clipper which perform the following functions:
1. To equip shatigon cannon for ship repairs (with decent range)
2. A skill with 5min cd to allow ships within 50m to change components for 30 seconds
3. A skill with 3min cd to decrease damage other boats receive for 10 seconds

I would like to see a clipper that explodes to cause damage when it is destroyed.

The captain could use a skill to make it explode after some time by slowly decreasing its health and/or if people are silly enough to shoot at it
Would replace equipment slots with explosive barrels or similarly visual things so no cannons.
If possible increase the cost of shatigon's sand to repair it as an explosion would be harder to fix than a normal shipwreck.
the damage would also cause friendly fire

Scouts battle clipper

SKILLS:

Here fishy fishy - short 25m? range monster sonar. Lasts 15 seconds. 1 min 30 cd. To not undervalue the actual monster sonar

Their vision is based on movement - visible within 50m, stealth while stationary lasts 1min 45 seconds 3 min cd

Repair spray - increases targeted ally ship shatagon repair by 25% for 30 seconds

Machine shop - operates like a portable ezi's light for ALL Ships within range, lasts 1 minute 10 minute cooldown

Conditions:

Can be equipped with all sonars but no cannons.
Max 3 people on board before losing buoyancy and sinking.
Cannot be equipped with tradepack storage

Captains battle clipper

SKILLS:

Launch torpedoes - fires torpedoes from front cannon slot(s), uses seige ammo x2 (in a 180 cone infront of the ship, only usable while targeting another ship)

They're getting away! - from torpedo launcher fires at targeted ship causing a 30 second 20% ship speed decrease debuff. (Open for balance changes is 20% is too much the idea is to get an opportunity to slow your target long enough to board their ship)

They're gaining on us! - only usable while ship is in combat a 10% ship movespeed increase. For 15 seconds Every 3 minutes (the idea is to get your ship out of range or slightly far enough away for an escape or reorient yourself for another round of battle)

Conditions:

Front two cannon slots can only be equipped with torpedo launchers (custom part, probably give it a target shot, not aimed like all other cannons. The animation idea is the like how a golden/regular jellyfish attacks)
Rear two cannon slots can be equipped with regular cannons.
Cannot be equipped with tradepack storage

Tradesmans battle clipper

SKILLS:

Ahh! pocket sand! - Closes targets glider range 30m

Cutting ties - removes any harpoons attached to your ship 5 min cd

Get off my boat! - Pushes anyone off your ship that's not holding onto something (30m knockback)

Conditions:

allows placement of crest tradepack storages in cannon slots
cannot equipped cannons (if possible an additional 4 slots for trade packs totaling 8)
Allows for an additional custom engine part that does the same thing as a caernord accelerator except less % maybe eternal gives an additional 65% max movespeed instead of 90%
I personally feel like 180% increased speeds is kinda excessive

All of these cannot be equipped with collection breathers. I feel like they'd be incredibly overpowered with just a flat 30% movespeed on top of the clippers I've made/suggested

OK, imagine clipper, without sails 2 Propellant, a frontshield and lot of HP
clipper designed only for headbutt call it : the interceptor

 

[Andres1917]

My first concept is the hot tub boat. It is like a clipper but it has a hot tub for people to sit. I do not do boat combat and I use boats for modeling my characters so my designs will be like this.

My second concept is the Cabin clipper. This is a clipper boat but it has a small sized room where the player can put their bed, paintings, furniture or other things like a real boat.

A small clipper without any extra stuff would also be useful for those of us who just travel across the ocean and do not care to have extra loot or diving gear. These would probably be faster and weaker though. However for pictures they will surely look great.

Just a few days left. So, if you have an idea but forgot to post it, it's time to do it!​

Hear me out

1. Color mods for this custom clipper (could even be bright or dark shades of the original clipper)
2. Battle or gunner clipper - Allow front and rear cannon placement for a chance to fight when you chase a ship or fight back if you are chased
- This clipper could be dark or black and a full fight clipper, fitting up to 4 cannons - front, back and 1 on each side
- Increase the potential shooting angle of side clippers to allow for a wider angle
3. Pure Scout Clipper - Move steering wheel in the middle of the clipper and add an extra sail towards the back end, mirroring the existing sail kinda
- make this one light or white color
- add like extra 5m/s base speed to it and can't use any cannon, but can use radar
- make it so that friendlies can't use gliders within 50meters of this clipper so pirates can't abuse it to chase easier (as in, if the clipper appears to you as green name and as friendly target, you cant use glider within 50m from it)
- another way to keep people from abusing the high speed of this clipper would be to give it a -50% speed debuff when near enemy ships
4. Flying clipper - put some "Skywhisper" glider wings on the sides of the clipper, horizontal and give it some skill like the gliding mounts to be able to glide up 50m and let it glide up to 30 seconds or so.
5. Miner's Clipper - Mines for 10 Shatigon Sand per minute whenever it is by the shore in very shallow waters.

 

[Checks]

All ideas were designed with the thought of creating a new clipper, so as to fulfil new roles and not diminish the use of other already-present clippers such as battle clipper or harpoon clipper. Thus, other cannon designs/harpoons were not included.


New clipper name: Specialist Clipper

There will be two slots (cannon slot or a totem slot) only: but only one can be equipped at a time.


Cannon slot:

Enforced barrel: Can either be in siege mode or normal mode. Uses the same ammo for clads. In siege mode, clipper moves at 50% of total speed, has a sizeable kick back every time it shoots.
Cannoneer has a debuff called ‘Inaccurate weaponry’.
Due to low accuracy, the clipper’s main canon will struggle to find its target on the monsters of the depth.
Monsters with Dominators authority will only receive 30% dmg from the cannon.



Totem slot:

1. Blessing of Nui’s protection totem
Skill name: She is the shield
Everyone on the clipper (20m radius) + clipper invinces for 3 seconds. However, the clipper is immobile during this period of time. Skill will have a 5min cooldown, but people will have a debuff on them that lasts for 10mins, which does not reset even if you die/char select.

2. Rhino Totem
Skill name: Charge ahead!
Skill will give 150% speed boost, with collision dmg of 1000% for 3 seconds, but clipper will break right after.

3. War Totem
Skill name: War-cry!
Taunts all enemies within 50m range to be forced targeted onto totem for 15 seconds. However, totem can be destroyed (low HP) to prevent player abuse.

4. Safe-space Totem
Skill name: Pre-emptive offensive
Bracing blasts and silences all players within 30m range for 3 seconds.

5. Earth Totem
Skill name: Clipped wings
Stops all gliders within 20m range (abyssal effect). Skill lasts for 7 seconds.

6. Rocket Totem
Skill name: Dolphin’s charisma
Clipper will descend 50m underwater slowly before shooting up to 100m into the air.

7. Turtle Totem
Skill name: Half Anchored
AOE slow (move speed -30%) for 3 seconds on players within a 30m range.

8. Boombox Totem
Skill name: Music-me
Allows you play default/a range of fixed music choices.

Note: Each totem will have different crafting recipes and can be regraded. Effects will scale off of grade item. Certain totem crafting ingredients are only available as boss drop items.

[drlunatic]

I'm going to share some ideas that have crossed my mind in moments of difficulty in the game.
I didn't think about them in a deep or balanced way.

1 - Some device to self-destruct the clipper by buffing nearby ships or debuffing enemies. Speed debuff for boats and nearby players are prevented from using glider

2 - Maybe a special Harpoon or item to attatch in the clipper ( I always thought of that for the fishing boat, but why not also for the clipper? ), allowing it to be able to transport Leviathan's carcass more quickly like a whale tug. "Usually takes more than 1 hour"

* It would be a viable thing to have a harpoon that works like the captain's cannon

3 - What is the possibility of having cannons that slow down other ships?

4 - Clippers are so easy to break, we have the red worm figurehead that gives a kind of shield, how about something similar for the clipper to resist hits a little more?

BATTLE OF THE BANDS CLIPPER
IGN: Num


Entertain your friends while killing luscas!
Host floating concerts in the harbors!
Befriend your adversaries as they come to pirate, but stay for a sweet sweet jam session!



Using the shell of the battle clipper, replace the cannon slots with the performance slots such as are in the theater in Marianople

Behind the ship captain, have a spot for either a piano (like in the rampage) or the zephyr pipe organ or even something like the wraithsmite organ.

Of course replace the battle clipper flags with crest flags and be able to customize with strings of lights

In addition to the fixed components, there is still plenty of room for people to stand and play their portable instruments.

Amphibious clipper/Sand Skimmer

Very similar visually to the existing clipper design, but with a toughened hull that allows movement on both land and sea. Cumbersome handling on land and entirely impractical for anything other than adventures with friends .

Could work as an upgrade path or equipment item for existing clipper/battle clipper or entirely new vehicle.

 

[Giantpanda]

I have some ideas：
1:A ship with extremely fast speed should not have useless items, so it is simple

2:A super fast ship should be equipped with a powerful engine, so there should be a feeling of sitting on the motor instead of sitting in the cockpit.In addition, it also has a jet device, which is the source of its instantaneous acceleration

3:Fast speed is its advantage, but its disadvantages are obvious.In case of collision, it can cause a lot of damage at the light level, or direct damage at the heavy level，And the driver will be injured to some extent, but depends on the driver's defense。At the same time, more materials are needed for repair, because the engine is very expensive!Also, the material used for the hull is particularly expensive because it is very light！

4:It can freely transform four forms.
1:Single person mode, which is the fastest form. Unable to equip the cargo frame and cannon. And can't carry people
2:The speed of the two-person mode is slower than that of the single-person mode. You can't equip the cargo frame and cannon, and you can only have one co-pilot
3:You can equip 2 items, which can be two cargo boxes or two cannons, or one cargo box and one cannon,This mode can only have one driver, no co-pilot
4:In two-person mode, you can load 2 items. Cargo frame or cannon

5:It does not depend on wind and ocean current，It is just a super engine without sails, so its shape is more like a yacht

6:This shape must be very handsome. To express its speed, its head is triangular and its body is slender.
Its cost is expensive. The composition of the hull and engine，Especially the engine！

Let me summarize its advantages：There is nothing useless. With super powerful engine,Jet device. it occupies two-thirds of the size of the ship. It is easy to break because it is his shortcoming. He can convert into various modes through production. The shape is very handsome.

This is a general picture：
