Ok, I built a ship with alot of boarding parties...

[Master Belisarius]

First Question: The enemy ships had Master Computers or standard crew?
For example, a Boarding Party 1 is not enough to board a Dreadnougth with standard crew... then, the boarding ship will run like a chicken instead board the enemy ship.
Second question: the enemy ships had their shields down? Because a boarding ship can't board a ship with shields working.
