Re: Frequently Asked Questions for Newbies
What is the range of boarding parties? If the number of boarders exceeds defenses, is the ship automatically captured? If not, do sensors and talisman help when attacking with boarding parties?
Thanks!

The ships must be next to each other.

Yes.

Nope. ECM does not help the defender either. The only thing that matters is boarding strength vs. defending strength. Sect. 6.4 shows all the numbers.

6.4.9 Boarding Party 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 = 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 guys respectively. Security Station 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 = 60, 100, 140, 180, 220 turrets respectively. Any BP or SS takes up 20kt space. Boarding is successful if the boarding parties are greater than the effective number of defenders (Security Stations turrets + 25% of boarding parties on the defending ship used as defenders + 16 for every undestroyed Crew Quarters)
|
Boarding parties provide FULL defense, not just 25%.

I haven't ever seen you mess things up. I wouldn't have put it that way, I just didn't want us to be stepping on each other's toes with the next update.
