Boarding?

[WilhelmWES]

Hello everyone. I've had this game for about two years now but am now just getting into it and I'm very addicted.

One thing I keep thinking is how fun a boarding option would be. Ship to ship fighting could be very fun and could add more usefulness to the gunner class as they could double as marines.

So just wondering, do any of you think this could be implemented well and would you want it? Thank you and I look forward to seeing all of you in the skies.

Your not the first, and you won't be the last to suggest this. To answer your question, No. It will never be implemented, for multiple reasons. This has been discussed in several threads already.

You're about to have a lot of people groan but let me try and give you a quick honest and sincere answer.


Never. Muse rightfully acknowledges that boarding would fundamentally change the game in a direction that they feel is counter to the strategic and team work focused game they currently have.

Muse explains themselves here quite well.

Muse has stated that they will not implement any means of boarding enemy ships at any point, and they have a very good reason. Regardless of your spin on the idea, this is a subject which has been considered closed for a long time.

Ah well I apologize for the redundancy then.

Not a problem, but please, check to see if there is another thread on the topic before you start a new one.

It's great to see someone so understanding about this.  Before the thread is locked and deleted;

Congratz on not being a total dick, and welcome to the community.

Agreed, its nice having a talk on the net with someone who can act like a mature, sane person.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand there's the lock. Please see the links posted by users above as to why boarding is not present in the game, and why it is likely to stay that way. Have a pleasant evening and see you in the skies!
