Default Re: [Space Opera] Boarding Pods ideas

Spoofed transponders.

The shields were designed to keep hostile missiles out, but let their own side's stuff - f.e., rescue pods or fighters - go through.

So when you try to board your enemy, you switch on a transponder, hope that the codes are still alright, and hold your breath while you push forward.

Okay, this trick would not work very often before the shield are simply locked.
