Hello everyone.

I bought the game in the sale and played a few sessions. Now I am unsure if boarding works as described in the manual. There is lists the enemy being immobilized by EMP as prerequisite for boarding, but I found out by accident that this is not a requirement after all (using the Fleet Officers boarding skill). Is that intended? And if yes, are there any other things that deviate from the manual like not needing boarding shuttles when you have the skill? Because I have yet to encounter an instance where you lose crew except boarding but when you can't board without shuttles the Ship Hospital does seem rather useless.


About the bug
I also played as unaligned Free Trader and was never attacked once, even by pirates which seems wrong to me. Either the Criminalistics skill is way too good, or they only attacked aligned traders.
Either way, without being attacked I was able to quickly amass enough money for a Galaxy by selling weapons in war zones without the fear of being attacked at all.
It was a kinda boring game.
