Yeah, let's have exterior cameras connected to the ships mainframey thing instead. They'll serve the same porpoise, but be less vulnerable.

Can we still have Boarding Hooks attached to the ship for Industrial purposes?

Boarding hooks serve no purpose. They take up space. Drones can handle anything they could do and take up considerably less space. Since they can just latch on to the exterior of the hull.

Though perhaps some kind of more permanent, anchored clamps for more secure docking/attachment?

Clamps for drones work.

Drones are not nearly as efficient as Boarding Hooks for disabling Giant Whales and Dispatching Galleons, Besides have you no love for the classics?

There are no whales in space. Da fuck are you talking about?

And there are no galleons in space. Again. Da fuck are you talking about?

Evil Space Alien Whales and Metal Scifi Galleons, We'll use chrome boarding hooks to combat them of course. We should also equip every Drone with a Tricorne Hat and make its wearing mandatory.

But what of the Boarding Hooks? What of the Children and most confused attacking pirates ever? What About them Kevak? *Tears begin to form in LuckyKobold's Eyes*

Making a good design is annoying. Will try over the time I don't have internet, however, which is starting on Monday and lasting for a week.
