Default 2 ships battle - mine destroyed, but I\'m ok!

I don't know if this is a bug or a feature I was involved in a boarding operation on an alien ship, when the sucker came to life and pounded me and my wingmate! EVIL!

So my corvette blew up, but my wing(wo)man finished off the alien ship and raided it. I transferred the cargo while the flaming wreckage of my corvette (and my warp drive *sob*) spun off into the distance.

Well here's the thing. I'm on her ship. Got a message that says "if your ship's damaged, click on it to repair it" but my ship isn't damaged - it's gone. I'm now flying my wingman's ship. So uh...what happened to her?

Bug? Feature?

Also, in the full game (which I ordered and am awaiting), can you change hulls during the game (other than this um, rather unorthodox way)?

Thanks for a great time killer. I haven't played SAIS before, and found this via QuarterToThree forums. Was very impressed with the demo - you guys got the space battles DOWN - and ordered nearly right away.

That's correct, you can continue the game as long as you have any capital ships left. They have plenty of room for a shipless captain... As a matter of fact you can assign any capital ship as the "flagship" in the formation screen. Fighters on the other hand just don't have the means to rescue you.

In the full game you can choose one of the three missions (Scientific, Pirate and Military), and each one gives you a different ship to start with. You can also find a particular "alien" ship that probably deserves the flagship status

What's odd is that it doesn't happen all the time.

What I was doing was fighting with the Corevette and Moon Marauder, sending Ripcord O'Riley fleeing off every fight to protect the hyperdrive.

Worked fine, even one time when the corvette was lost, until one time I didn't have Ripcord flee, and the opposing ships blew up the corvette. Game over.

EDIT: and now it just happened when I -did- have Ripcord flee..

Ripcord alone can't continue the game, as his ship is a one-person fighter.

Easier said than done, when you're floating in an escape pod.
