i would have to say that if it is going to be an option to board on missions then they need to not self destruct so that we can at least pay for our marine losses.. i lost alot on this mission.

still Sir E, boarding even before all this self destruct stuff was put in, was almost not worth it.  now even on the times were you -may- get something out of it... it self destructs giving you zip.  could you like, lay off the boarding a bit, perhaps?  it's looking more like you may as well just get rid of actually capturing ships altogether, because even when you do, you have to sell all of them just to get a CHANCE of getting something back.

yeah when i do good i get maybe a bill more than my cost and when i do bad i lose 20 bill or more like i did on that mission.. and i have only ever gotten hulls exept for one time when i got the powercores with it..wooooo thats big money there... the point is that boarding isent worth the effort or money if we cant find a way to at least pay for the marine cost

Taking out the self destruct would be a major improvement. everytime i've killed twice as many as i lose,so a ship with zero shield, the ship self desructs and i lose all the marines that died.

what emi needs to do is remove the 0 marines on enemy ship = automatic destruction (players) since you cant steal ships at all anymore alot...

no, now see that makes sense.  if someone has no marines, and is being boarded by 1 million marines, he isn't going to sit there and watch, hoping those 0 marines actually win.  no, as soon as the marines land, he's going to be all over that self destruct button.

this is about mission ships, that ALWAYS have marines.

imagine this: you have out 100 tril missions ships, just built, and going through missions, in the middle of a neb.  you have time to do missions, so you don't worry about marines... yet. 

then BAM, someone hits you... how? no not a counter, as you never hit anyone.  inf act, it's you who took the hit at least a couple hours ago.  how? a BOUNTY. and what do they do? board.  by boarding, they not only steal all your 100 tril ships, making a nice bonus, but then they also get the bounty reward as well.

no, keep the self destruct with 0 marines, for player vs player battles.

Ars I disagree with that many ships have not marines on them in the real world.  and for another item if you are a ship commader you should know to put  marrines on your ships especialy hight value ships my beef is that when boarding on missions etc the best ships self destruct and you end up with only like 1/10th of the ships you do capture because the other 90% are destroyed in combat or they fought like lions, or some crazy crap. and you end up with stinking tiny men and that crap most of the time from a mission even thought your cap ships actualy spend 1 trillion marines to capture a great hull but some reason that is the hull that self destructs or mor often than not since you dont have 5 times the number of marines as a ship of comprable size  as yours you just end up loosing all your marines for nothing.  The largest hull I have captured was I do believe woth 45 million credits of which I didnt eve get that but I spent well over 1 billion marines to capture like 5 of them.  didnt even pay for 1/10th of the mariens and they were not even worth refiting.

yeah but if you have the option to board on a mission then it should be at least semi profitable to use that option. so i think we ahould get rid of or at least drease the self sestruct rate and increase the probability of getting more systems with the hulls, maybe accually get a whole ship from time to time. wouldent that be nice? 1

hmm... and I agree somewhat.  I tried boarding before, and almost halfway, they would selfdestruct.  now out of those half, you have even less chance to get something good.  and this was probably even before this.

the problem with capturing whole ships in missions:
you capture a whole ship, that has some ridiculously outpriced system on it...  like you capture 500k of these really small, really weak ships, and they have a computer on board worth trillions.

on a side note... the cost limit on mission ships should make this near impossible... so that actually isn't to bad, after all.

oh, and gunfighter, to tell the truth, if something like that happened, I'd just say "well, you should have kept a positive rep then"
