Re: [Space Opera] Boarding Pods ideas
My current space setting doesn't use shields. There are occasional boarding actions: when a ship has been crippled but not destroyed, it's a prime intelligence source, and getting a bunch of marines aboard to seize key points before the enemy crew can scuttle is potentially useful. But these situations are rare enough that only the biggest ships would spend their hangar space on dedicated boarding pods rather than general-purpose shuttles.
