Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Simulator Enhancements (03/13/24)
That's not what marine boarding did. It was more like a slow poison in the other persons ship. That you could pick up and reuse.
Mmrnmhrm X-Form added. If there's ever a way to allow a ship to transform mid-battle, I will enhance the ship to do this.
If it was a graphical-only thing, that might work, but it also needs to alter the ship stats significantly, and grant/block access to other weapons.
I do protest though regarding inclusion into the sandbox.
