Default Re: defending against mutiny\'s?

We've been asking MM to let Boarding Parties act as 'loyalty monitors' for some time. If you install them in a ship they would "attack" when the crew mutinied and retake the ship.


Yeah, I like that. But the retake of the ship should cause some level of damage, after all, shooting around inside a space ship is rarely good for it. You know, that whole "it's a vaccuum outside the ship" problem.

And how about a very small component "KGB Informer". Has a probablilty of blocking the attempted mutiny before it even starts (thus no damage to the ship). Perhaps a high end Political Sciences tech? A small (one person) expensive (bribes, etc.) and non-stackable component (one per ship?).

My two bits.
