Re: Just some thought!

Well really "Catapult" weapons would NEVER be used in SPelljammer because
arcing trajectories cannot hit squat when doing ship to ship combat at high
speed ;) Only exception would be when attacking bases.

Note the Romans had a ballsita firing a 200lb ball in a flat trajectory and
at very high velocity, that thing would be hellishly nasty, only a cannon of
the mid 1600s and after would be better for damage and reliability.
