    No, sadly there are no deck animations during boarding, currently. In fact the entire boarding minigame is said to be a placeholder while they work on other things, so it's possible this will change...

    Congrats Jim!

    I just got the Rattlesnake BP to drop yesterday - I'm tremendously excited, she looks to be the finest ship for privateering in the game so far. Had a very interesting 1v1 PVP duel...

    Speaking of Shapeways, wouldn't it be great to simply come up with some size-appropriate 3D printed masts & sails for this schooner conversion?

    Or for that matter, wouldn't it be lovely if some...

    Not sure what happened, but I quickly re-made the card using your Enterprise as the base.

    I'm positive the devs are going to keep a dedicated PVE server, if the merge happens it will be to bring the three PVP servers together.

    I'm starting to warm up a bit more, I think I just needed to get a better feel for how specific maneuver decks play out on the tabletop.
