make stealth boarding a thing. with how slow jetpacks are its almost impossible to do a boarding action in a fight. Lots of the Rogue/TSF gear is really good for boarding and 90% of the time it goes unused because boarding is super difficult with the radar blips.
#Make TSFMC and Rogue jetpacks invisible on radar

I think they should be separate stealthy jetpacks youd have to buy with FUCs or Dubloons or whatever

In ambush its doable
Assuming the ship isnt moving
But yeah unless you do something crazy like false flags or combat docking boarding during combat is a suicidal manuever and probably should stay that way
Maybe they could add like, boarding pods
As well as smaller fighters
Just, full on warhammer it. Boarding pod launched at the enemy to crash inside the ship

i can see a method like that but with the premise of just yeeting the player at the ship
like how those launchpads in ss13 work
only gun shaped

bumping this. but im more supportive of the alternative stealth boarding upgraded backpack.

how about instead of invisible, it triggers an alert about how there is one just generally around the ship

can't you just grappling hook onto the other ship without using a jetpack?

Lazy, and grappling hook has range
And it's not that fast

you can stealth board as long as your carefull. I like the jetpack IFF because so long as you dont see jetpack IFF they aren't ever expecting to be boarded which gives you a massive advantage

this is within the context of boarding during a fight. the element of surprise is already gone

this could be a good idea tbh
could lore it away with like "normal jetpacks have a component that broadcasts IFF that can't be removed or it stops functioning"
the tsfmc version could be like, a specialised black ops jetpack, and the rogue version would be a shitmodded version of a normal jetpack with a bunch of syndicate bullshit
in general, literally anything to be able to board ships in combat please
:D

I think the better way, if you exclusively want combat bording, would be to have boarding pods. IFF similar to ship projectiles. Just basically a chair-sittible component, with also the stick on wall on hit component. then something to launch it.
just dont miss

Boarding without diversion is really hard and it's normal
If you are boarding while the other is busy is really easy
I really don't like invisible jetpack

well i think the issue is that people dont want boarding while they arent in combat or arent even dogfighting, they specifically want a method that lets u breach and enter someone in the midst of combat
bc rn board and breach is impossible in the midst of combat without the other ship being effectively inoperable
u either end up a pink mist or get gibbed from FTL and theres no counter to this
people want their hand to hand combat!!!1!!

yeah, i dont even need to eva to board you when you dont suspect me, this is mainly about combat situations

just make stealth packs just as expensive as good armor (like 20 FUCS for the TSF and however much for DB) and itll be harder to acquire but still an option for everyone if they need it and have the money for it

unfortunately u put way too much faith in the engine
collision as a whole is jank as fuck and its this servers staple (one of them)
having a method of boarding centered around ramming into something seems like the last thing youd want on such a hard-to-manage system
i could see that being a bad idea also in a sense it creates needless grid issues
like having a ships gird expanded by using it with the stick on feature u speak of
i couldnt think of a smart method to stick a ship to something without it affecting the grid directly or as if it were latched in to like force creating an airlock

said it earlier, this servers too jank and honestly the game as a whole is far from capable without major advancements to lag fixes
