[Feature Request] Boarding suggestion

[vburg91]

I know its been a gripe for a long time that when boarding, sometimes other factions will swoop in and finish off your target. My suggestion is when boarding, once all the pods reach the target and move to stage 2, it changes the ship's signature to neutral for all factions. If it fails, it returns to its original status with other factions.

Just a thought.

From what I know they already do so but with unknown criteria. I reloaded a save where I saw several Boron patrols rushing to the Phoenix I’m trying to get crews bail so I won’t lose any marine training boarding exercise, and they seem to leave upon phase 2 HP threshold is reached in two different boarding attempts with different settings (very strong vs very weak).

Note: both occasions I have already launched boarding pod. I have over +20 with the patrol in question but not +27 yet.

The mission guidance tends to be "Protect the ship" at that stage, isn't it? IMHO, that is your job. If I fail, then I don't gripe but think how I could have done better. I did choose where and when to board and how to keep others afar from the mark.


The gripe should be about not losing reputation. We should pay for each crew member that we do slaughter.
