If I am being boarded, can I use a vehicle's mounted weapon to defend myself? If so, can I then accidentally harm my own ship from inside?asked by Balduin

Well I think that if you had a vehicle inside, that had a mounted weapon on top, and there was enough room to use it yes you absolutely could try to defend yourself with it, there's no reason why you couldn't use a vehicle inside say, your bigger ship. But yes, you could end up harming your own ship. That's true as well for FPS gunplay, so if you were setting off grenades or shooting or whatever you're going to have to be careful where you do it, because if you do it near a window or an airlock or something you might end up blowing it out, and that.. wouldn't be very good. Which is cool, I think it's nicely realistic.
