Except that with boarding you don't have to be stronger than your opponent. A half dozen guys in 3 block pods and cutting torches can take down a titan.If you are not docked to the homebase, then yes, you cannot defend yourself even if you are online if the attacking party is stronger. They could just use a larger ship than yours, or more ships, or whatever - this is completely unrelated to boarding and has been the same before the update. Your force is either stronger or you loose your ship, this is how Starmade currently works, and while that might need a change, this is, again, completely unrelated. Don't confuse your PvP frustrations with the actual suggestion at hand.
Internal defenses? People are already complaining left and right about large ships. How exactly is "put automated turrets covering every square inch of the inside of your ship" going to help with that?
Do you not see the irony of saying "Your objection boils down to 'I don't like it'" when your entire thread here is exactly the same thing?If you don't want to loose your stuff at all, regardless of where you currently are, don't play on public servers. Your arguments always boil down to "I hate X".
"I don't like that this makes the part of the game I like harder, it has to go!"
"Well I don't like that your suggestion makes the part of the game I like harder, so I don't support it."
"You're just mad because you don't like it!"
Bwuah?
Last time I checked, the only difference between a PvP server for Starmade and any other server is that you'll get banned for stuff on the server after you're caught. This change is being proposed as a base change for the entire game, PvP and PvE alike. It hurts PvE in order to help PvP.DON'T PLAY ON F****** PVP SERVERS!!!!
Its no protection against anyone intentionally griefing just for the lulz. So why hurt the majority of the players (and time and time again its been shown that PvE players are the majority) with something that has only marginal benefit for PvP?
