I've played this a bit now that it is compatible with omega's minimash, and I have to report a bug:
The Elder Seeker fleets (containing nothing but three Faithopters) will only send out one Faithopter into battle, and as soon as that one is defeated the battle will end instantly, and the other two will surrender and be boardable for free.
So suddenly those fleets went from "Oh, *** I'll die!" to "Well I can easily beat one of them and get free stuff.".
