imagine sitting there AFK and this is how they time you out

[rustyshackleford]

You'd think a Super Earth destroyer would be the last place an automaton would want to be. That's where we keep all our hellbombs, after all.

[skytheannur]

The bots soon realize the ship they boarded was a Creek Freak Crawler...and realized the Helldiver isn't locked in with them, they're locked in with him.

When the Automaton enter the Super Destroyer but the ship announcement voice says "Warning Intruder detected inside the ship, defrosting and awakened ALL the Helldiver inside the Cryo Pod"

[Darthma]

"Oh look, the bots are boarding us. Those poor bastards"

[luuu]

boarding party vs 1 helldiver? seems unfair. TO THE AUTOMATONS

[AmandaFessler]

Democracy officer when you fail the boarding defence op:
"Our ship is infested by bots! Hulks spotted on every deck! The engineers are overloading the jump drives. We will destroy the ship and take the enemy with us! IT IS BETTER TO DIE FOR DEMOCRACY THAN TO LIVE FOR YOURSELF!"

[martechi]

Boarding actions in this game would be awesome, and while we all want to blast through some automaton ships to clear the way for Helldives, I thought it'd also be fun to get some special events of bots boarding your own vessel. Spice up those lobbies!

[svijj_]

The Democracy Officer seems rather unfazed by the whole situation lol

[theworkshopwhisperer.]

I always like games that turn your hub area into a defence mission at some point.

[Mobius_]

And instead of having other Helldivers in your squad, it's your democracy officer, Pelican-1, and Eagle-1.

This could be a cool concept. A "Zone" of space could be a "Hot Zone" or "Highly Contested Space" and in these zones your ship could get boarded or attacked by things like this video. Maybe your ship gets destroyed while you are on the planet, have to do some emergency evac from another crew (maybe ai crew) ...Imagine another group of helldivers get the evac mission to save you and your crew. Magical

If the dev managed to slip space battles then this game will be complete

[breadgetter]

You know how if you are afk, you get disconnected for inactivity? It should be that after 15 mins of afk, automatons will board your ship, and if you defeat them you are still connected to the server but if you are still afk you will be disconnected.

[KatarMilak]

I absolutely love how you show not only cool animations, but also the potential features that could one day be included in the game

[Sprottel_SFM]

One of these days i want to see a destroyer fight an automaton ship using empty hellpods as improvised munition

[Mayflower-Yev]

Captain! New contact, low tonnage right above us! Confirmed boarding pod incoming, brace for impact!

[Grunkthe]

Love the automaton ship design! Especially how the engines stay consistent with their dropships! Their gun placement also make sense as the automatons dont use orbital strikes. All in all, very cool.

[laahocsm]

This could make for a fun gammemode. The game mostly has open spaces, so something more claustrophobic could be interesting, although it may just turn into a friendly fire fest.

[warfighter]

Space combat has always been a beloved gameplay mechanic of mine. Of ANY kind! To get one in HellDivers like this would be simply perfect!
