I was planning on guns for planets and swords for ships for that very reason. However, I also think it be neat to have someone suicide or bluff an enemy by shooting/saying they are going to shoot inside of a ship. I have this concept in my mind of something a lot like how Pirates would board ships, some sort of tether that allows ships to connect with each other for boarding.

I still don't know how close to reality I will stick to, but I was thinking of having no lasers and just going with projectiles (bullets) to try to set it apart from every other Sci-Fi thing ever.
