Boarding enemy ships

[Vox Maris]

The fact you cannot open enemy doors once you board their ship is BRAINDEAD

Small explosives will blow the doors.

You should still be able to force them open some other way, even if its just a longtime with the multi-tool on the door control panels.

i dont know if you have ever had to force a real roller door but i can tell you they are not easy to just force open without specific tools. with how hefty these ingame doors look you would be sitting there for a half hour or more with a oxyacetylene torch or grinder going through abrasive discs like mad especially considering these vehicles are expected to see combat so the doors need to resist small arms fire at minimum, just saying

Im not sayijng you force the door specifically. But there are little boxes called 'Door Control Panel'
They should Let us use the multi tool on that to break through doors at the cost of time as compared to explosives and speed.

Wow, if you manage to board the giant walking spider mech, you should be allowed to break and enter without needing a massive ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of explosives

Hopefully they stick to the current system. A 6 man team with 5 people boarding in a rush would win the majority of the battles in my opinion. Perhaps a high cost C4 would be a nice touch, with the ability to explode the control panel but NOT the door so the defender may repair it. This would lead to more intricate designs in defense, multiple passages, new defense weapons such as an SMG or auto shotty, mines etc. But we're here in a fresh alpha and so far, so good.

My 4 man crew fights off and destroys 6 man teams currently no matter the trampler size as long as we're fairly unscathed from previous battles, BUT were they to just board us without the need to fire a single cannon, well that would suck and ruin any fun as an underdog.

Im not saying they should be able to activate doors normally like you do.
But that they should have an option besides C4 to open doors, like I mentioned using the Multi-tool on the control panels to open doors over a longish period of time. It gives defenders time to react and attackers a means to viably board and disrupt if they dont have the resources to blow up 40 doors

Devs please ignore this guy, opening doors as soon as you board a ship would ruin the game balance, boarding would be the only thing people would do

Haven't even played the game yet but this sounds like a skill issue

[Spooky Boi]

Poor Gelum, no one is even reading his responses and you can see it eating away at him.

Yeah indeed he should get good and stop whining

[ittykitty101]

yeah but the dude that made this thread says we should be able to just open the doors freely, total skill issue from this guy
