| Just a quick question from someone who as yet has not been boarded, or is yet to board another vessel. When you board a vessel, do you have to provide the crew to opperate the vessel? It would seem logical that you could, but grumblings suggest that you don't. If you do... grand. If you don't, why is this not so? Now I can understand that a crews loyalty may not the be of the strongest. But imagine a USA merchant vessel boarded by a USSR ship during the height of the gulf war. You would think that in order to make the crew opperate the ship, that you would need to keep enough troops on board to keep them in line, threaten them etc... As i said, i don't know how it opperates, I have been lucky. Could anyone fill in the gaps? Dave | |||

| Once boarded the old crew become prisoners (this I know happens), new code (not tested by me yet) is meant to exchange these prisoners with members of the boarding party to now crew the ship. I don't know if the code adds crew till the CF is met or anything like that as like I said I've not tested this aspect yet... | |||

Cool, i thought it worked something like this. | |||

It will place as many of the attacking troops on the ship as it can. | |||

| Not as many troops of the type with the higher crew factor? | |||

Not currently. | |||

| what is used to decide which troops get added then - a proportional split? item number order? the order they're shown in the GP? Dan | |||
