Angels Fall First boarding lets players enter enemy capital ships, fight through playable interiors, and attack subsystems or core objectives. The official tutorial explicitly teaches boarding, subsystem destruction, and core lockouts.
Use this Angels Fall First boarding page as the current, source-checked answer for this player task. The scope is intentionally practical: confirmed facts first, then clear limits where the official record is still incomplete.
The boarding sequence
The Angels Fall First boarding loop begins outside the target ship and ends inside its objective space. Use a fighter, dropship, or other supported route to reach the vessel, enter it, and move as an infantry player through the interior. The official site describes enemy ships being destroyed or captured by boarding, while Steam calls out playable interiors and shipyard or station assaults.
The developer’s tutorial outline gives the safest sequence for learning: understand subsystem repair and fighter targeting first, then practice boarding, subsystem destruction, and core lockouts. That order matters because boarding is not just a hallway fight. The interior action affects the ship’s wider ability to fight and may change what the team can do next.
What to practice offline
Use the bots page or a practice environment to learn how to move from the exterior approach into an interior objective. Practice identifying the target, surviving the first room, and returning to the wider objective marker. Do not assume that a single room route or timing works on every map; the official sources support the system, not a complete callout atlas.
Boarding and team roles
Boarders need support from pilots, ship crew, and infantry outside the target. A capital ship can be defending its systems while another player is trying to keep the approach open. The capital ships guide explains the relationship between bridge, exterior, and interior play; maps and modes covers the named 1.0 map evidence.
Evidence boundary
This page intentionally does not publish “best boarding route,” exact subsystem damage, or a universal squad composition. Those would require a current map and balance corpus. The source policy keeps them out until repeatable evidence exists.
