Re: Does AI use boarding ships
As to the Borg boarding, that was me. Happened and surprised the crap out of me.  . Never saw it happen again (in tactical, but it did happen it strat a few times again.) It was an old Borg race off of 'House of Style' I think. They used cap. Missiles and Trac beams with boarding parties/security on every ship. Never did well in the stat's section since the TONNES of pdc that was soon employed by the TDM packs but still a beautiful set.

Re: Does AI use boarding ships
Early on in my first game, one of the races, I forget now which it was, took one of mine. A newbie, it took me a turn or two in tactical combat to figure out why my own ship was firing on me.
I still see it from time to time in the far reaches of the galaxy. I was pissed it happened, but now, eons later, I sort of hope it's still out there, even though it was built early on and probably has low level shielding. If it comes to it, I doubt if I will have the stomach to bLast it to pieces.

Re: Does AI use boarding ships
In a few of my previous games, the AI(don't remember which races) used the ship capture module on every one of their 'capital' ships. I have lost a good number of my ships that way, until I brought my tech up.

Re: Does AI use boarding ships
The Cue Cappa are pretty good at ship capture, but that's because one of the main Psychic weapons is a crew converter. Their fleets almost always have a few ships from other races mixed in with Cue ships... but I don't know if they analyze them for tech. That would be pretty cool, though.

Re: Does AI use boarding ships
They are very good at using the converter, they have a dozen or so of my ships in my current game.
Do you think Psychic races should be immune to the Alligience Converter?
Shouldn't they also get a defensive bonus in combat? I mean can't they see the shots coming

Maybe... although the Temporal races should get a similar bonus in that case. Of course, the Temporal races get a facility that provides a combat bonus for that very reason; I don't know if Psychic races do. Maybe the argument is that the systems required to allow ships to move out of the way of weapons fire just can't be mounted in a ship, nor can the beings controlling the ship react fast enough to do something about incoming weapons fire.
Too bad the defense bonuses don't work against seekers...
