Functional pack of boats (One Piece/ Pirate Boats) [with Cannons]
My only 2 major critiques of an otherwise great addon
Don't let the title fool you. This is a dope addon and probably one of the best examples of non-simfphys boats on the workshop (in some cases I'd argue they're even better than simfphys). And the utilizer feature is definitely a nice improvement.

However there are 2 critiques I have of this addon:
The 1st (and lesser one) being that for some of the boats, there's no clear indication where the entry point to actually drive the boat is. Some of them are so specific (like the Hancock or the Polar Tang) that for the longest time, I didn't even think that they were drivable. It took so much ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ around before I finally found the specified spots when in some cases it should have been obvious.
I do wanna add a quick disclaimer, I am not a One Piece fan so if there's a canon reason for some of the odd drive spots that I'm unaware of, then I'll take the L on that.

The 2nd thing that keeps this addon from being top tier imo is the fact that while the hitbox areas of the ships do stop players from falling overboard, you can still shoot through them. And unless you're just using these things for funny gmod videos, its kinda hard to have ship battles when bullets just clip through the entire cabin of the Garship.

Otherwise a very solid addon and I hope to see further improvements.

The only problems I have with this mod are that

(1)It seams to have a habit of conflicting with the "Crazy Box Head" engines because is it keeps causing the engines to be registered as "non-entities" and causes the engines that are spawned in to end up looking like they have been "gutted" by "scrap pirates" who have left nothing but the exterior of the boiler, cab and running board when they egress (leave)!

And

(2)The ships and boats all handle really nicely without any lag at all, but the steering animations and "player model posing" for the smaller One Peace boats needs a bit of of improvement because their "third person view" just doesn't look wright (i.e. It makes it look like the player model is breaking two "roller coaster" safety rules (mainly the ones that involve "keeping arms" inside the ride and "remaining seated" while its moving).

And even though this is still a good mod, it'll be even better once they've fixed those two issues that have been causing trouble for player who want to have both steam engines and boats without having the same problems that I've been having.
