So I've heard people wanting boarding pods, shuttles, maybe even EVA crewmen to try and take on enemy ships?
Well, here's a challenge for you:
Start a sandbox mission with an (unarmed) enemy station (either acting as a station, or standing in for a ship with disabled weapons and thrusters), take on your own side any ship of your own choosing.
Disable weapons.
Set up an intercept and get as close as possible with as low a relative velocity as possible. The target is "Zero - Zero". Zero relative velocity, zero distance to target.
Post the results as a screenshot. You may use any designs, any budget. In case of a tie, the best kiloton per credit ratio, closest to Zero-Zero wins.
Oh, and ramming is strictly forbidden.
(Inspiration was when setting this up.I do heartily recommend using the appropriate music.)
(Mission concept: Intelligence has identified a new type of USTA Sensor station. We've commandeered a nearby research craft and filed a flightplan that'll take us in for a closer look, by the time the USTA Patrols respond, the intel will be on the way back to Mars.)
