Lochiel:
Either the cargo is robust enough to survive a rough, cannonade assisted landing or I don't want it.
DMaximus:
That just means more fragile, expensive luxury goods for my band of merry, marauding privateers.
Lochiel:
Inspection of the cargo isn't conducted until /after/ the stress test. I am more than willing to let the ground snuffers know where to find shattered trinkets.

Why the hell board the ship you got close to and not just shoot the damn crew with your giant cannons/Flamers/rockets from point blank?.. I'm pretty sure a Hwacha barrage on an enemy ship would not just disable guns, but kill mostly anyone on board, especially with all these wide explosions :P

You are right about this especially since there are field gun marksmen who could hit the helm (and by extension the man standing behind it) across the map. The only way this theoretical boarding could work is if ship based weapons could not effect the crew. I would like to see boarding done in another game The ship designs of GOI do not lend them selves well to person to person combat. They are too small, lack cover, and lack the varied geometry to make on board combat interesting. Also the 4 person crews are too small for effective PvP squad based tactics.

I was taking this in more of an RP/in-world way. Obviously GoIO isn't suited for boarding. If we're talking about a purely gameplay perspective then yes, just blowing their ship up makes way more sense.
Also, I just had a great idea for a new gunner tool: the sword. It does absolutely nothing, but you can wave it around and look cool. And in the end, that's all that really matters.
