Yes...and make it snappy! We aren't paying you all that money for nothing you know. :-)

Hey I'm just saying it could just be a feature, if it isnt tested completely...one will never know...

Well its doubtful that its a feature, the numbers used indicate an obvious bug. If it's not a bug then its a horrible design decision. Either way, it needs to be fixed. If not to eliminate a bug, then to balance the gameplay.

I keep wonder what was broke in SEIV, that something similar couldn't be used...must be something having to do with the crew units.

I think the main difference is that SE4 didn't actually factor the number of crewmembers (or thier race) into the ship. SE5 does. Each ship has a number of crew, and a race for that crew. These are new factors in the boarding equation, and all new features in any game should be tested thoroughly to ensure proper implementation. This apparently did not happen to the degree that it should have, which leads us to where we are today.
