Default Re: Boarding parties vs Security Teams

Further test: Do Security and Boarding teams protect a ship?
Target ships using master computer.

one boarding party vs one security station - Boarding team won
six boarding parties vs two security stations - boarding failed; they only kill off 1 security station
six boarding parties vs one security AND one boarding party - boarding won, THEY KILL BOTH
one boarding party vs one security AND one boarding party - THEY STILL KILL BOTH

It was surprising to find that boarding parties did take out one of each component type (security station and boarding party). It was also surprising that just one boarding team could do so.

Looks like boarding is an automatic victory if only zero or one componant of each type exists, and an automatic failure if more than one (of either type) exists. Always fails if crew exist.
