Boarding Parties

[TripleTJon]

I am very new to the forum so I dont know if this suggestion has been talked about yet. Wouldnt it be cool if they added the ability to board the enemy ships? I know it would be an entirely new mechanic and what not but that would add a huge layer of depth to the game. You wouldnt have to give every soldier a gun, maybe just a sword of some sort. Anyways I think that would be awesome and if you died then after a certain period of time you could re-spawn back on your ship. You could also destroy the enemy ship from the inside out if you boarded. Anyways thats my take on it what do you guys think?

It's been suggested for as long as I can remember.  Muse has been pretty forward about saying it's not going to happen.  How do you deal with damage to crew members when carronades and machine guns are already shooting at them?  How does this affect the four-man crew concept?  What do you even -do- once you board them now that you may not have enough people to run the ships?  Why destroy a ship you just boarded; won't you die?

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to lock this. This topic has been considered closed for a very long time, and for a good reason. See this sticky for more details.
