In the world of swordship
In a far future, the temperature has become too hot to live on land. To survive, mankind has built gigantic underwater cities where the upper class lives. The poorest are forced to live on land, hiding in caves and waiting for the sunset to come out. To survive they loot the transport lines that carry goods containers between the underwater cities, mostly without success.
One day, yellow unmanned ships appear all over the world and start stealing containers. Are they stealing from the rich to give to the poor? Building powerful ships for their own sake? Or just looking for fame? Your game, your answer.
Guns are cool but they are bulky and heavy!
The Swordship doesn't have any and that's part of what makes it so light and manoeuvrable.
