Oh like everything else, X3:TC was finicky, clunky, and difficult to use. That being said, by the time TC came out (that was my first X game) the modding community was in full swing and I was taking full advantage of about a dozen of them. Remember the MARS turret script? That thing was insane, haha. Anyway, I wouldn’t be surprised if I had mods running to help with boarding stuff. It’s been 10 years so I don’t remember which ones I had, but I had a lot!
