EDIT: I have tried setting "Space Combat Crew Boarding Strength := 0.001" (down from 0.1) and it didn't seem to make a difference. Setting it up to 1 (up from 0.1) made the boarding icon disappear within about ten seconds.

What about setting it to 0?

I was wondering this too, but just for bug testing purposes. If it works I would say the problem has more to do with math than broken programming. If boarding still doesn’t work when it’s set to zero then my guess would be the programming is the culprit. Then again I am not a programmer; my experience is limited to the Java I am taking now so I can teach it later.

Re: SE5 Patch 1.13 Out
The current problem appears to be that crew simply aren't dying unless they lose life support/crew quarters. Apparently the marines are dying in combat, but the crew is invincibile.
So I'd guess setting it to 0 would have the battle rage on, with the crew unable to kill the marines due to being wimpy, while the marines being unable to kill the crew and thus take over due to the fact that the code for that simply doesn't work.

Doesn't help. The crew simply can't be killed no matter how much overkill you've got (I had 50 crew against 500,000 boarding parties- the crew lost..)

Re: SE5 Patch 1.13 Out
Well it sound like it a problem with the crew units. In SE4 it was just boarding attack, and boarding defense. These are in SE5, but there is a new variable, which is the crew, that doesnt seem to be using boarding defense correctly.
Are the crew numbers tracked seperately? Is it done just by the crew quarters, and/or life support?

Re: SE5 Patch 1.13 Out
Although the boarding bug is REALLY annoying, it sounds like a stupid little programming error that will be easy to fix once found. Aaron will be embarrassed at his own stupidity (just like I have been many times). So, short term: AAARGH! but long term: don't sweat it.
