Subject: Boarding scenario
Sparked by the boarding discussion thread on one list: Okay, so far it's been about boarding armed naval craft of various forms. Now how about this one? Unarmed experimental model, research, transportation, and/or private vessel (last least applicable?) with the goal of snatching ship (and possibly VIP or key technician.) Assuming NB takes out engine and you match velocity/vector/whatever; How do you 'take' the ship and cause the least amount of damage to the ship itself (no GL's or even hand grenades blowing out key new experimental components)? Do you stick to PDW's/Pistol/CC [close combat] weapons? Do you risk using rifles/SMG's? How to accomplish 'forced entry' (ship/bulkheads) without little or no use of explosives? If you need the VIP (in a stock space suit) how do you take the crew alive to sort out the VIP? Gracias,
