I figured that this was intended since no one has posted about it in the Bug Reports section, but why do some of the ships that are boardable after an engagement still have a full crew? I watched that ship blow up, and now you're telling me that everyone survived and is ready to fend off boarders?
From a balance perspective, it makes sense that you need a large marine investment to get a "free" ship, but couldn't that be fixed by making marines cost more or take up more cargo space? Also, I understand that some crewmen can survive due to escape pods and the like (which is one thing I love about fighters since the update, they aren't death sentences anymore), but you can't tell me that people who survived in an escape pod are ready to board their ship and fight to the death for it.
