Board/Tow Empty Ships

[opticyclic]

If you slowly fire on a ship (e.g. a python) the pilot will use his escape capsule
The ship will eventually no longer be classed as a ship on the radar and will just drift in space.
At the moment, all you can do is blow it up or leave it there.

It would be nice if you could board it or tow it and sell it.

If you boarded it, perhaps you would lose your current ship, but it would be a feasible way to get a larger ship without playing the game for months .

Of course the ship would be of a similar state to the rusty ships oxp and not worth much to sell (because you shot it up)
But then you would have a ship with a large cargo to trade.
Eventually you could afford to repair it and sell it on for a profit.

What do you think?

shhh! Giles is working on that!

using a 'remora' missile, which will latch onto that ship, so you can remote control it, back to the station...
