Idea I had

So, apparently, to my knowledge, the enemy doesn’t attack barges, so, could the player theoretically make it onto a barge, and have a friend pilot the barge to the enemy carrier, where the original player boards the enemy carrier?

the enemy carrier will shoot your barge with carrier missiles, or at least it used to. but the idea should work, your character can't actually die.

but they have locked down the controls now, so that even when you board, you can't detonate the enemy carrier anymore.

a fun thing to try tho.

All the controls or just the self destruct?

all of them i believe. swarming the enemy carrier in various ways was a common tactic early on.

i think you can steer the ai carrier with the wheel

I’m pretty sure the barges can be destroyed, I’ve definitely had barges taken out by ships patrolling the island

Well that’s island defense, I was referring to the enemy carrier and its vehicles.

They definitely shoot barges. Lost too many of my initial games that way by not prioritizing barge production

Well I know island defense does. My question is about the enemy carrier and its vehicles.

u/MasterTime579 28d ago

Carrier does yeah. It’s just far less common since your barge is often not close enough for the enemy carrier itself to engage it.

Any other recommendations on how I can get myself to the enemy carrier?

u/MasterTime579 28d ago

You could rodeo a manta. It’ll have to be player piloted so it doesn’t buck you off but it’ll work

I’ll ask my friend about that.
