Can you "use up" a Security Station?

bbq · #1 October 24th, 2004, 11:40 PM

Lets say you have a ship with one Security Station V (220 anti-personnel) on it. First, in turn based combat you get boarded by a ship that uses two Boarding Parties V (200 personnel). Naturally you successfully defended against the boarders. What happens if a second ship then Boards you with one Boarding Party V (100 personnel)?

Do you win because the odds are STILL 220 to 100, or do you lose because you only have 20 "remaining"?

Thanks much.

Its still 220+(16x #crew quarters) vs 100

Don't they use up all security stations in the first ship's attack? I figure they would be defenceless? No?

No. Security stations are either destroyed completely in a successful boarding attempt, or they are completely unphased. Yet another one of those all or nothing problems...

Well, that's kinda cool actually. Too bad the AI never uses borders, and most people rarely use them on PBW either (so far as I've seen)

That is because it is way too easy to deploy self destruct devices on all ships...
