Ship boarding/capture/salvage?

[Slamdance_Kozmopolis]

So, what do we know about ship boarding/capture/salvage?

Has it been demo'ed on any streams?

Boarding is in, but no streamer got that far yet.

Salvaging wrecks is still not a feature.

Yeah, I saw ObsidianAnt hire some marines. Was wondering how to put them to work...

ObsidianAnt got a pirate to bail. So, small ships should be claimable just like in x3!!!

So, nice! I never bought a fighter in x3... It's gonna be ALL CAPS for me in x4! (I hope)...

It's not auto claim anymore sadly. You need people to fly captured ships.

Good luck crewing them all... It was tedious in XR and I imagine being the same for a billion fighters in X4 as well albeit probably easier with the teleporter.

Hmm... I didn't really play XR. But here, even small ships can carry passengers. So, if I can carry a 'spare pilot" it might not be too bad. I guess I'll find out tomorrow.

well it"s more immersive than x3 style where you can immediatly tell a ship what to do xD

Del (Angry Joe Show) Launched a marine at a bailed S scout ship and the marine just flew around it unable to land.

Small ships should not need marines. You should just be able to claim and pilot those. Marines should be for bigger ships only. At least that's how it was in previous games.
