Just a friendly question im sure someone else made it already but are we going to get boarding ? there is a craver picture which appears to be some sort of boarding action and the intro of the lumeris shows some boarding actions too, if the answer is yes then my question is how it would work ?

I was thinking about a special module two of them one a middle range module which is a teleporter and wouldnt work against shielded ships the mod would have a % chance of destroying a ramdom ship module the other one would be boarding pods which could be fired from ships but from close range and could be intercepted by AA. 

You could also equip troops in your ships as special modules in order to reduce the chances of losing your mods and special kinds of troops could be used for boarding. 

Way back in the discussions on the GDD, they said that there would probably not be boarding. No idea what the current stance on it is, though.

Just because there is concept art showing boarding does not mean the game will have it. ES1 had similar art and did not have boarding mechanics.

It'd be nice if at least down the road we got some weapons related to it.  Maybe away team shuttle/transporters or whatever that send troops over and have them knock out systems or do damage.  Could let you have a weapon who's damage is based on your ground combat score (so cravers for example would love it while sophons might not until farther down the tech line).

It's not true "this is my ship now" boarding, but it at least scratches the itch.
