More crew combat in missions

[bobc]

There are several mission types where you are finessing contraband/operatives past security forces; if you fail the skill test you fail the mission.  Would it be viable to offer the player the option of crew combat to recover the mission, such that:

You fail a stealth test and security guards catch you sneaking someone in to the starport.  You can:
1. Accept ignoble defeat and relinquish operative
2. Enter crew combat and fight to complete the mission

2a. Winning combat would ensure mission success but adjusted rep loss etc for causing a fuss
2b. Losing combat would be seriouser rep loss etc for being caught causing a fuss

The system is not designed to handle a second round of choices at this time. There are a lot of reasons we avoided it. We could force more of the failures to automatically drop into crew combat.

No problem; don't want to overload the players who prefer to avoid combat.

Guess who's finaly getting the hang of crew combat though  lol

Exciting to hear

There are a ton of mission types that are still missing from the game, and many of them will feature crew combat as a requirement or as a preferred option for resolution
