Boarding Party Actions

Maybe I need to know a little more about boarding party combat.

Does a ship equipped with boarding parties use them as defense if they are boarded? I guess for some reason I always assumed that only the defensive types were used when the ship was boarded. I ask this because one of my boarding ships defected. It only has one baording party on it, and no defensive types. When I sent a single boarding party after it I got a message that my boarding had failed (So I then blew the ship out of space...)

Just wondering...

Codo the crew quarters has a defense of 10 I think. So depending on how many crew quarters there were then without a defense station they could still defend. Also, I do think the boarding party has a defense value but it is decreased.

BTY have you voted yet for the civil war idea? Any new ideas or suggestions please give a post in the intergalactic civil war thread. If you don't know about this idea check it out.

Thanks for your time.

Silly me. I never paid enough attention to the description of Boarding Parties. It says they will be used for offense or defense. Whereas security stations are only used for defense...

I did post this somewheres earlier on, but the crew quaters have a built in defence of 80% of boarding party 1.

So in trooper count, each crew quarter holds 16, but in the text files, it would have a defence of 4.

There is no mention of this fact anywhere in the game, but it is there nonetheless.
