Im curious isnt it much easier just to have one button than two seperate ones that pretty much do the same thing?

I removed it ... wait for next sync

Has been asked in suggestion board a few times over the years,

supposedly something about future implementation for boarding, but I agree would be good to see it simpler finally, thanks.

Link me the suggestion

Wasn't it going to be used for space combat to where you could raid/board other people's ships?

No, never.

I am pretty sure if that were true we would put the raid button on the board-able entities list you get. So like when you hit Board/Exit it would place a Raid on the ships frame instead of a board button.

Oh, my apologies then. I was misinformed last year that that was going to be an option to do.
