This is a coalition of ideas between myself and my friend Ictoan, as he's known on here. Generally we know that boarding is going to be a large pain in the arse. However, with the inclusion of boarding pods it could be more feasible or at least easier to disable larger ships. The idea is that you can launch a small one time use pod that fits 2-3 people which you land on the hull of their ship. Once you do so the pod melds to the outer hull and is unable to use its thrusters. You then use the laser cutter on the pod to make your way to a hallway, depending on how well you know the ship you're boarding you may hit one before your pod runs out of energy and then you're out of luck.
Due to the small amount of people you will very unlikely be able to take over a ship but you may be able to cut power or take out some other system and wait until reinforcements arrive before venturing forth. If you are cool with more than 4 friends you can send out several pods. If you are really cool you can send out those pods while undetected to perform a stealth mission to disable them before they know what is happening.
