Boarding casualty reports inaccurate
« on: November 07, 2014, 06:19:36 AM »

Had 2000 Elite crew before battle.

Post-battle, attempted to board a Wolf. (it had 2 remaining crew)
Wolf self-destructed, reportedly killing all 16 boarders.

After battle I had 1997 Elite crew.

16!=3.

I think this has been happening all along, but I've only been noticing it since I've run with precisely the skeleton crew of maxed Elite crew.

Did you send in Marines?  The game automatically sends in Marines (if I remember correctly, I generally blow up my ships nowadays), I believe - which is rather annoying, truth be told.

I think if you read the after action reports further, you can either pick up crew that ejected from the hostile ship or recover your own. I'm not 100% that's vanilla though

Here's another example:

1) Sent in 39 crew (screenshot)
2) It blew up, killing 33 crew (screenshot)
3) After the battle I have 1994 crew remaining, having lost only 6. (screenshot)

No, just 2000 crew. (precisely enough to crew 8 Onslaughts)

Thank you - fixed. Was only an issue with elite crew, as it turns out.
