Edit: I'm sure there used to a be a 'top poster' list - can't find it now? Or am I mis-remembering?

There is a top ten poster list Martyn, but I don't think it's visible unless you can see the correct 'Stat's field almost at the bottom of the home page.

Cheers - Phil :)

Rather them, than me ! ......Brave lads !!!

I'd be terrified that the pack would suddenly cut out and drop me 'in the drink'.....I imagine you'd sink rather quickly.

Cheers - Phil.  :o

Indeed. I know I should be but I'm not very impressed (yet). Expensive way to remain as vulnerable as ever when boarding a ship.

Anyway, the good news is the Chally upgrade with 120mm Rheinmetall smoothbore gun now appears to be a reality ...
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

But.....When they're used for real, Davy...there's probably some super top secret cloaking device to render them invisible.

Ummm ... he seems to have his hands occupied. How long between landing non board a ship to actually being an effective soldier? You know, with a gun?

The jet pack / gloves is super cool - I suspect the video is really to demo / show off the tech. It's not how it would be used in a tactical situation.

Most of the anti-boarding measures mentioned would be just as effective against men trying to board more traditionally. I suspect the rocket man would launch much closer to the vessel to be boarded, and really just pop-up over the side. Generally if the ship you are attempting to board is going to put up significant resistance, you will not attempt to board, and you can fall back on the threat posed by the warship that launched the boarders.

The rocket pack would allow you to jump straight to the bridge, or other higher parts of the ship, rather than having to go to the deck, then climb up bits of the ship.
