So, my group is playing through Saltmarsh and is going to get a ship soon, and if they want to add some weaponry to it, how much should those things cost? Is this listed somewhere, or are there any good points of comparison?
(Assuming they have the space and the crew capacity. Actually the crew capacity is listed for each weapon, although adding this crew would cut into a ship's passenger capacity. And I'd wager that many ships could squeeze in an extra weapon or two, maybe at the cost of some cargo space.)

From D&D Wiki
- There are ballista-like devices that run from the Scorpion, which shot light javelins, to the Carrobalista that needed a team of horses to pull. The classic Roman ballista threw spear-sized bolts (2.0-2.5m) up to 500m (1600ft), stood half again as tall as a human (say 3m-ish).
- We came across an old ballista; I wanted to mount it to our wagon as an awesome mobile firebase. Then I looked up the rules governing siege weapons (DMG pg 255). Ballista take 3 actions to fire and does 3d10 damage if it hits. I feel this is ridiculously low for something you have to roll around on a cart, probably with a draft horse and 1 or 2.

The ship can fire its ballistas (DMG, ch. The ship can fire its mangonel (DMG, ch. The ship drops a bomb at a point directly below it. Each creature within 5 feet of that point must make a successful DC 12 Dexterity saving throw or take 10 (3d6) fire damage. The ship can use its helm to move. A dragon ballista resembles a small cannon more than a ballista. It uses a gunpowder charge to fire a ballista bolt. It functions exactly like a ballista, but it is much easier to load, requiring only a single full-round action, regardless of size. A single shot from a dragon ballista costs 1 gp. A dragon ballista takes up a space 5 feet across.
