[Q]

The new combat retreat works excellent after a first small test. Not only did three of my unarmed repairships retreat during combat, but they returned to their fleet after combat (and had used two strategic movement points for that).

[Q]

In the combat simulator the boarding crew of empire A enters the enemy ship of empire B (a small flag indicates the presence of the marines on that ship), but the boarded ship still acts under the control of the original empire B and fires on ships of empire A. So boarding is still broken IMO.

Did MM even test it.

Hmmm, maybe there is a time delay before they take over/disable the ship? A complete loss of control wouldn't be instantaneous.

Other things that are still broken:
-The "mixed up" warp points bug, where ordering a ship through Warp Point X will actually send it to System Y instead.

-Emissive Armor doesn't work. This only bugs me because the mod I'm working on relies on emissive armor and it's current nerfed state is making balancing ground combat futile.

There is a time delay, but that isn't the problem.

Emssive armor works. It does not, however, STACK. If you have 50 Emissive armor components that have the ability "stops 50kt damage", only 50kt of damage will be blocked.

The ship ability screen will say 2500kt will be blocked, but that's incorrect.

[Q]

If a boarded ship still can fight (on the side of the original owner) during the entire remaining combat turn time, IMO boarding is broken.
