Ok, so everyone is in agreement, right? Some of you will go outside through the airlock, blow the escape pod out, and hopefully suck the general out with it. The rest of you will go straight to the bridge and make a big distraction fighting everyone in there. Then, you will have to make a rather hasty escape on whatever form of transportation is in the hangar after you've started to blow up the ship. Correct?
You don't have to blow the ship up; in fact, you might be better off not doing that. For one thing, none of you have ships up here, and you'll have a hell of a time reaching the hangar before it blows. And if you're planning to blow the escape pod out rather than using it as an airlock to get inside, you could very well blow up with the ship. You can still do it, though I'd certainly think about keeping the escape pod intact if you are going to;.
