-Airskiffs. For skirmishing and boarding attempts.
-A 360 degree deck gun on top of the cockpit, similar to the larger gun on a submarine.
-More ammo types for different guns. As an example, grapeshot shells, and disruption shells.

Oh. I kept looking for the turn it was originally posted in. Silly me.

Anyways, I think that "drop-pods" (things you stick people into) as cannon ammo would be neat. Oh, and as a suggestion for 3D: Could you have each ship's position just be represented as triple coordinates, and each ship's direction as a similar velocity?

GreatWyrm, I was thinking we could also turn (while going at this speed) the ship, and begin tailing them immediately after we fire our cannons. What do you think?

Also, I don't think your gun reaches that far. It's actually probably really close range.

I'd like a bit of a better idea of what you have in mind, but it sounds pretty good.

I'm not sure, we'd only be two or three tiles away. How big are tiles, anyways?

I believe the tiles are more or less abstract for now.

And my idea is simply that with us behind them, our machine gun will hit them, while they won't be able to hit us with anything.
Suggestion! Poison Gas Barrels to throw behind ship if tailed. And we will probably be farther away then we are now regardless of what we do.

Hm...if you want a little extra work to do, remote-controlled or homing drones packed with explosives would be fun.

Incidentally, piecewise, this has had me imagining some stuff in the back of my head. I'd be willing to collaborate with you on the advanced rules.

Well, let's say you're going away from Earth on huge spaceship and suddenly shit goes wrong and you have Super Mutants. Social Experiments prepared them for this.

Is it possible to manually turn the lodestones further than normally possible?

Red - Danath

So, what are we doing, movement wise? 

Get up on deck, and get ready to jump across if an opportunity presents itself.  If it doesn't, man one of the machine guns and shoot at something.

Edit:  More importantly, WHO IS FIRING THE CANNONS?

((We're not getting into boarding range. Also, Sloan should probably be helping with the cannons, not just chilling out on the cockpit.))

Well, I'll just fire the cannons I guess.

Aiming and firing cannons require DEX instead of STR right?

I could help out with the cannons, but I have a very busy gunshoot schedule to attend to.
