sure, however how many use FA/OFF ? and I don't see the issue, you can just match the speed and dock, however again, it should be none player ships only then we would only see combat if more players docked to the same instance to loot a drifting none player controlled ship.

Listening to Rebel Yell it seems quite common. I know with the T9 FA off is the easier mode to fly it in.
Looked like the Epstein drive put out some serious Gs. Poor dude couldn't move his arms. I'm assuming the flight model of SF is similar to ED. I liked Evochron's model better but I haven't played it in a couple of years.
I thought they did all sorts of things correct in that series. I really liked when Drumma led the charge when Miller was puking during a boarding scene. hehe

I prioritised the ship side of the game, took perks that started me off with Piloting L1 and possibly Starship design, then ploughed all my early points into those skills along with Particle Weapons and Shield Systems.
As a result I’ve been able to put together pretty OP ship but it’s now taking me ages - at around L30 - to get skill points for simple things like Suit / Weapon upgrading.
In space I’m pretty sorted. On foot I still use a lot of med packs!!!
The finale had one heck of a one. Read the names of those on the drop list...
As I said earlier I am not against boarding per se, but it should be limited to targets that are boardable, megaships, abandoned stations, ships that are already disabled and drifting, drifting or abandoned hulks with all the crew long dead or gone, but getting to the point where you can engage a ship in combat, disable it's engines, stop it making attempts to escape using other methods, and in the end killing the crew and taking over before they hit the uncancellable self destruct, nope, not going to happen. That's just earth sailing ship pirate fantasy, and everyone wants to be a pirate, yaaaar, but that just doesn't work in space!
I took it as typical Bethesda thing at the start and selected persuasion and lockpicking to begin with. Ultimately (at lvl 40) most of my points went into science and tech so I could build my ships. Suit-wise I use a Trackers Alliance suit I picked up in the Lair of the Mantis near the start, and until recently a Mercenary helmet I found in a box on a random concrete block in the middle of nowhere.
I finally finished the C class, after removing the lower deck!
Yeah, its down to the fast travel. I've been selecting next landing site from the ground. Yesterday I've been doing it differently, the propper way, setting course before travelling anywhere and I've been getting a lot more space encounters.
That depends on each player, I have been playing for 2 weeks, I have only completed the first main mission and I have only dedicated myself to getting to know the universe in my own way, I have several mods that have given me the experience that I have always dreamed of, it is not perfect, but we've only been here for a month. So this is promising. By the way, I only use a lightsaber in combat.
Last night I was working out in the gym (in real life!) and at one point I noticed a green first aid box hanging on the wall.
For a brief moment I felt the urge to go and grab the Med Pack in it (or at least check whether it had a red mark of stolen property), then I shook my head, and came back to my senses.

I'm similar. I've only gone to Constellation and ran with the ship I have no intention of playing the story at all and with my little ship I'm just going to run around space and shoot people.
The first day I played the game (I think it was on Kreet) I felt like the game was making me a bad person, looting everything lying around.Last night I was working out in the gym (in real life!) and at one point I noticed a green first aid box hanging on the wall.

That's why it's called "role play". You can steal, but you don't have to. It's not the game that makes you(r character) a bad person. It's your own in-game choices
Interesting to see the different play styles at work here. While I tried to focus on maxing out the skills needed for spaceship construction, I have yet to put a single skill point in one of the spaceship weapon perks. Instead I have invested in my rifle and ballstics skills. But there are just so many skills I want...for example, I'd like to get the skill that allows me to scan planets and moons from further away. But so far, I don't have the "spare" skill points, because there's always something more "urgent"
I liked this, some nice use of unintended functionality like being able to steal from vendors. Started me wondering about re-installing for a melee run, but by the end I decided against it

I have felt the same, I had some bottles of Aurora in the ship, I thought that leaving them on the table the merchandise would not be detected, and I was arrested in Neon, for a mistake inside the prison for going to tour it, the guards insisted that I return to my cell, one of them shot as a warning. and unfortunately I killed them all, I didn't want to kill anyone but they gave me no other option, then there was a chase through the streets of Neon, I escaped over the rooftops and barely managed to get off on my ship with little life left. I don't think I can go back to that city anymore.
Still having a blast the shop turrets tag friendlies and then kill them so not good. I still can't kill the TA person in neon as he is obnoxious. The NPC chats still elicit a snort of laughter. I think I'm getting the hang of it now . I'm still overweight most of the time but I can live with that along with the snarky remarks from Andrea. Just started the UC storyline after running all the little side missions.
It's not, not really. In practice it's quite a bit more simplistic.
It might have a similar underlying physics model, but it's even harder to see.
There is no difference between a ship that is already disabled and one that somehow becomes disabled in combat.
There is no way to escape from something with engines without engines. The idea that maneuvering thrusters that do not need main power would be powerful or last long enough to prevent an intact aggressor from matching and countering one's maneuvers is way less plausible than the existence of boarding actions, as is the idea that they'd be powerful enough to generate the forces needed to sever a docking connection or do meaningful damage to a ship built to withstand multiple g of acceleration and engage in close combat.
I find the idea that everyone would always have access to a reliable self-destruct option, that the option would be likely to remain functional on a ship that's been severely damaged, or that people would commonly resort to it rather than risk capture or even death, just as unlikely as the high-seas equivalents.
How is this hypothetical self-destruct option supposed to work?
The more I think about it, the more I disagree.
Once a single condition is fulfilled--that of manned vessels--then boarding actions against them become plausible.
That's a good point. Even only looting food, credits and meds I was still making more money I could use. I'm going to start a new game with some real hardcore roleplay, only buying food when I visit settlements, since my ship doesn't have a bed to heal, I'll have to visit a city pretty often.That's why it's called "role play".

That sounds amazing. Some real consequences from unintended action, its something game story can't recreate.
Looks beastly and quite original
