Guys, I know about the self destruct in regards to boarding, However, I did not know that if you say had a ship out of supply, not at a shipyard, etc, that the scrap/retrofit button could be used to destroy a ship, I knew it could be used on mines but I apoligize for my lack of knowledge in this particular area, I have been playing this game for quite awhile and I still learn some basics from some of you. I am not talking gold Version but 1.49. I have not played the demo as I was waiting to be surprised when it comes out.
Mottlee - I therefore stand corrected in this request and yes newbies do ask questions of the veterans who else would you ask? That's how we learn
I have gone back and tried the self destruct and yes it does indeed work as long as you have it on board the ship and I thank everyone for this info.
I've never used this componet as the majority of my games are against the AI which does not use boarding troops, at least not that I have seen so far, and in my Hot Set games we just like to bash each other's ships and none of us have ever really used it. I once again apoligize and shall delete my prior post
just some ideas mac
