Thank you for the helpful info!

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.

Yep, meant that .
It's not fun if you've almost finished your update and then I send a brand new flashing update just before you get to post....

For FAQ:
Unless you have a positive treaty with someone you cannot see what treaties they have in the treaty grid.
If you have a positive treaty with someone else who also has a positive treaty with them you can see their treaties "by proxy". (I belive)(Tesco Samoa)

Needs to be more pedagogic

I sometimes switch to 1600x1200 just for the large battle replays, since tactical combat mode does use it, and even then, you can't see everything at once.

Otherwise max 1024x768 .

How much damage do damaging wormholes do? If I pump up the armor on a ship, is it safe to go through?

Thanks!
