PotBS had something like that, where it would constantly change over time. Haven't seen that yet myself. Wasn't looking for it though.

The shotgun cannon builds seriously need to have drawbacks. Ship balancing would be a good one. Or dedicated gun deck, and top deck slots for cannons. About the only current drawbacks are blindsides and ammo shortages it seems. Plus, ships are incredibly squishy. it only takes a few shots to take out a plank and start a ship sinking.
