The best weapons for a close combat ship?

[tesco samoa]

Does that make sense???

Why not? The MC is only supposed to stop your ship from being captured by allegiance subverters not boarding parties.

Must be my imagination that has blinded me to that fact. I always assumed that the MC controlled ship would just be computers and components fully automated. I still do not see how a boarding party of space marines can just take over a ship. But thank you for letting me know. I have a few adjustments / upgrades to make to my ship classes.

Once the marines are on board, they have physical access to the computers, which lets them hack into the systems and reprogram them.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
