Default Re: Boarding in Se5

There was also a problem in the demo (or a feature, depending upon how you view it) that I mentioned in other threads. Essentially all the ships with boarding parties sent all their shuttles after a single ship. Furthermore, despite 30:1 ship odds, the target ship was never captured. However a single boarding ship with say three capturing components was almost always successful (thus 3:1 odds worked, as often did 2:1 odds).

Anybody with the official release know if any of this was "fixed" so that either
(1) the shuttles from multiple ships all swarming around the target ship can coordinate to "inject" their marines simultaneously

OR

(2) your entire fleet of capture ships won't all target the same ship.

cheers
