there won't be any third person though, the fps mechanics are very intense and tactical, third person gameplay allows players to look around corners

Thank fuck, they're rational people.

Yeah, the impression I get is that boarding/FPS will be rather rare on ships smaller than an Idris. It seems to be a gameplay mechanic focused around capital ships and space stations.

This makes sense considering FPS play is far more interesting when you have an actual LEVEL to play in, rather than a connie-sized cabin, which is relatively small.

Will limb severing be possible? What level of realism in terms of gore should we expect?

What we know is that you can only tractor beam a ship when all its thrusters / engines have been disabled, and you can't fly when tractor beam is active (else it causes massive explosion).

Bullets don't "bounce", they ricochet.

Sorry, had to. Good question though.
