' Wrote:i know theres a lot of ifs and what not, but I dont see how the traders would "get" the battleship, if they start trying to board the battleship that counts as an attack and the battleship can defend itself.. *pop goes the weasle*
and the transports would have to survive the entire duration of the capturing process, which would take a damn long time for a battleship, especially if they had specific powerfull marines that can only be bought in their corosponding guard system, like "BAF Guard Marines" these would be more powerful than your standard lackys and so even if they outnumbered you you could still save your ship from capture.
it is possible between friends, but this just opens another door to future rollplays between strangers.
Well, I was exaggerating a bit there, but I guess you get what I mean. Imagine...
Policeman LF X : Stop, those goods are forbidden!
Smuggler Transport Y: /board X
System: X has been boarded by Y.
I just don't know, I think it should just stay as event between people who want to particiate in such scenario, otherwise, it would cause a lot of havoc in any battle... and sometimes not even in battle.
During fight, not only thinking about tactic and who's shooting whom, but also watch out that noone get's to shorter distance than xx m, because that would mean you get boarded.
From RP sight... well. To board ship in space, both ships would have to move at the same speed, same direction and close enough to each other, as well as they would need to have shields down (both boarder and and victim) during the process and some kind of special equipment to pierce the hull and send the marines in. And in batlle , that is almost impossible. To be realistic, you would need to have some special ships which can... perhaps "stick" on the hull of ship without shields or some kind of ship, which would crush and piecre the ship, while sending the marines.
I buy things I don't want to make an impression on people I don't like.
In the LE, we use the Aurochs freighter, which is, in RP, a heavy armored variant named "Heavy Aurochs".:P
Imo, we don't need ships only made for boarding.
Aurochs was made as police freighter with that intention....Ragnar also is made to be police freighter and small troop carrier....
New rheinland troop transport as well as new gallic battletransport are larger spin off of that idea...they can be used, in RP, as boarding ships....they certainly carry a punch that ship of its "class" should have...

well the policeman would be covered by the fact that his ship isnt boardable... since it will most likely be a fighter/bomber
' Wrote:...it would have to check if the target is capable of being boarded and still has shields. if either one isnt true it should do nothing and give you an error
ERR- target cannot be boarded
:)i do know what you mean tho, just, this could be really good, the work required to do it might leave it better off for planned events however.

Told you I'm speaking literally.
I like the idea, but there are like... hunderths of ways how it could be exploited or used to make someone's day bad. I can't say I like that... You can do "boarding" scenario with friends as it is now + consider the second part of my last message.
