Now you have to get rid of shields and bring them down to under 50% hull in order to have reasonably long boarding. Yeah, you can scroll through them with Home/End buttons, but that is not a comfortable solution.ġ.1.1. It's also very hard to target turrets as they are very small.
There's no option to order your fleet to swarm the enemy with the single goal of disabling turrets. It's likely their turrets will kill you or you will destroy the target before you get rid of turrets. Now what? If you are S or M, you will have to work pretty hard to avoid turret fire while trying to destroy turrets and disable engines, so you could work in peace.
Who the hell has the time and patience to board, in a game that has no boarding infrastructure other than the option to board itself ? Huge time sink, requires your direct involvement and it's unprofitable.
