So, I just played Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare...

...and I had a few questions.

1) Is it possible to fly starfighters in this game? I understand that ship combat, ship customization, and each party member controlling an aspect of the ship has been discussed. But I think, if a lot of sci-fi tropes are going to be covered by this game, being able to pilot something like an X-wing or TIE fighter would be a pretty important one.

2) Will there be zero-gravity firefights where players can maneuver themselves with propulsion equipment in the vacuum while exchanging gunfire with the enemy?

3) Will there be rules for depressurizing sections of ships; causing whoever was in that room to be sucked out into the frigid abyss of space? There must be, if things like hull integrity or opening cargo bay doors are taken into consideration.

4) Will it be possible to perform a dirty trick or combat maneuver to rip out an opponent's oxygen supply or pull off their helmet? It might be a bit overpowered if it's too easy, but in-universe I see it as a viable tactic.

5) Will it be possible to hack into enemy constructs and take control of them?

Sorry for making everyone see CoD references on a Pathfinder board, but that game did have some cool scenes involving space warfare; so I just wanted to know if those things were accounted for in Starfinder's rules.

4) Unless they're using some hodgepodge jury-rigged equipment I would imagine any space suit would be built in such a way that simply pulling a hose off would not be an option.

1) we expect so but all that's been cofirmed so far as smallish ships crewed by 4-6 personnel.

2) we have every reason to believe so, but again, not confirmed.

3) Technically voiding a space and pumping out air should be two differentg things. not every space should have an emergency jettison button... unless the PCs designed it. i could see that. Anyways, i bet these would fall under "enviromental hazards"

4) I expect that to be more along the lines of successfull killing an enemy with grapples or unarmed strikes and describing the scene similar to what you want. such SoD moves should be level locked pretty high.

5) effects to alter or shut down mental control have a long history in tabletops, dont see why they shouldnt carry it over to SF.... i want to say there is a psychic discipline that can do mind effects and possess robots already. maybe a sorcerer bloodline too.
