Shrouds and mass

They would have to have access to volcanic hotsprings to get the sulfur or certain caves for the saltpeter. The charcoal is easily to obtain, if horrifically expensive.

Yeah, they have gunpowder. Grimm comments more than once about practicing with a firearm when he's planning on taking down Cavendish. It's not common based on the life of the gun barrel, but idk about the gunpowder itself.

So here's a random question:
Why doesn't he the shroud dissipate the energy of your own guns?

Preddy doesnt want it to? :P
Actually, thats a really good question. Perhaps it's a matter of "tuning" like the old star trek shields, and by having both the guns and shroud sourced in the same Core, they operate on the same frequency and can pass through? Just spittballing...

Due to ships able to rise and fall so much, canon would difficult to aim. If they develop gun turrets able to be adjusted, those could be set up.

Shouldnt be too hard. Those sorts of cannons usually had a screw tilt that was used for range adjustment, all it takes is a crank mechanism to make it a swift adjustment. And that sort of thing would be just as useful (and perhaps as common) for the etheric cannons as for a physical one, Id wager.
