newest beta patch?

Actually, boarding is all or nothing, so if the defenders win one capture attempt, thy would win them all.

OMG, you keep all the old turn files! Exactly how big is your archive?

The PBW server keeps all the turn files until the game is deleted (I think; it might start deleting the earliest turns later in the game).

Can any of you insiders or beta testers give us a feel for the expected release of the new patch?

Obviously we are talking about simultaneous combat, but is this true?

It is true at least for ships that have only boarding parties and no other weapons. At least is was in my game. They just kind of mill about and not attack. I have seen boarding ships that attacked and got blown up by SDD though. It may have been a boarding ship that had a standard weapon as well as BP that got it into range and the Boarding parties went ahead and tried to board. I will need to test that some more.

This can be used to your advantage though. Create small, (relatively) cheap boarding ships, and have them try to board the enemy's big, expensive ships with SSDs. The SSD will go off, and the enemy will lose a Battleship or so, and you'll lose a Destroyer.
