Question to good player: boarding

What the... Oh, crap, there goes my strategy in "Puke's Mail-Order Monsters"!

(Unless, if by some magical reason, the fact that monsters' self-destruct ability is intrinsic to the hulls and not from a component makes any difference...)

(edit: oops, read Geo's post, that's nice to know )

Ships refusing to board ships with SDD is stupid, this needs to be a flag for strategies or be removed at all.

Read Geo’s post. Seems like I was wrong

Suicidal Captains, suicidal Marines.

"Yes, boys that ship is equipped with a dead-man's switch that will blow the whole thing into the void, and likely take our ship with it. But we're going to board it anyway. Hoora!"

chorus: "Hoo-RA!"

Another beatiful day in the corp.

Boarding ships do tend to run to the corners if all targets have 1 or more shield point, regardless of shield depleters on the boarding ship (in strategic combat)...

put on a APB
it will board more

[Fyron]

If it is set to capture ship strategy, the ship will head for the corner no matter what else it has if the enemy ships have shields. If you set it to something where it will fire the weapons, it will no longer board.
