How it works
Can you take the ship intact?
Getting marines aboard is a physical operation, with an exit plan to consider.
Reach a hull that is still dangerous
Boarding craft have to approach, make a viable connection and deliver their actual troops. The defender’s weapons, motion and surviving crew still matter. Capturing a useful ship begins with choosing how to disable it.
The people you commit are finite
Marines come from the fleet’s own personnel. Their equipment, casualties and recovery matter beyond the immediate assault. A successful approach does not guarantee a successful boarding action.
