Good to know, thx for the quick respond.
And yes, the same thought came to my mind: i could try to board the ship again. But:
1. All my marines where 5* in hacking ( actually all disciplines, except fighting )
2. All my marines survived
3. The hull of the ship ( it was an M6 ) was so badly damaged, that it wouldn´t have made to any station to get repaired ( 4% iirc, that´s what happens when you let 8x Flack keep the shields low... ^^ )
So, when all this circumstances would be present, esp. the hull value under 10% ( maybe <5%) - which actually means no chances to successfully board the ship again, the "ring trick" could be initiated.
Maybe, one more variable could play a role: some of the marines got killed during the mission ( and the already frustrated comrades, who haven´t managed to hack the central computer despite beeing elite hackers, decide to take a revenge, and blow up that damn vessel! )
EDIT: ( i can´t answer again, so editing )
I was not aware you can repair enemy ships that way!
I haven´t experienced it myself, but won´t the enemy ship try to kill your marines? ( here comes my lack of exp. with boarding before )
OK, this time i was flying a Carrier, so not a real problem to me, but if my ship would be in danger, the detonation of the enemy ship, which still poses a threat, could be the reason the "captain" orders the marines to blow up the target before leaving, i guess?
