This week's question for Wingman: Will pilots have some way of protecting themselves from their own crew.
A: Yes, but it probably won't be a door that pops down.
A: Yes, but it probably won't be a door that pops down.
Some disappointment was mentioned in chat to this answer. Some people feel the idea of quick mutiny should be encouraged and not restricted. So, here's my take:
- Wingman's answer doesn't mean that mutiny won't be possible. It just means that pilots will have 'some' protection. So, it will be more effort, but we'll have to wait to see how much. Personally, I'd like to see it rare and a somewhat special effort.
- If pilots don't have something to protect themselves from their crew while flying, then you'd see an entire class of players focused on this game element. Why bother going through the time and danger of a boarding action when capturing is as easy as talking some newbie into letting you help him man a turret?
- Without some protection, guilds would likely have to be super selective of players. Pirates will already have this problem during boarding actions (the first to sit gets the ship mechanic), but having this issue all the time would just be nerve wracking and not much fun.
