speaking of tractor beems i think the only way to effectivly board an enamy or freindly ship would be to stop it with a tractor beam and pull it closer. if the devs could alter a weapon to neutralize a ships engine output and pull it in then it could work but otherwise it would near impossible for to ships that want to dock to aline themselves to dock.

another problem i noticed was in GC the gravity was still on cousing lots of fighter problems with stopping dead in space and falling down.

if you havent all ready noticed this it would be nice to stop while flying or just to go slowly without crashing.:D

I think that hopping off a transporter you will still engage resistance wheny ou board off, and thats what your looking for.
Just as much as when in a New Hope when the Rebel ship gets pulled via tractorbeam and then they board it that way.

Just something else I thought about,
PIEWALKER VS HUNGRY JEDI...
But they would have to install Jediknight and get the sabers out.
What was that Latest jedi knight game again, it was realy awesome with the defensive / medium/strong stances and attack's with bcombo's!
hey I loved it.

I believe that part of the Battlefield: 2 engine was removed.

or mabe like a openable door that opens whan a flag is secured on the top of the ship. This would allow players to jump in by entering though the top of they ship

If this could be implemented this would add a whole new dynamic to boarding and make the game (in my opinion) a whole lot more realistic and entertaining.

See this would be cool

I'm not going to comment on which, if any, capital ships will be pilotable or not but you will be able to dock into capital ships with smaller aircraft.
