[X3AP] Musical chairs on board?
Posted: Tue, 13. Feb 18, 22:08
Some Boron Pirates had stolen an M7 and help was requested. Mostly rookie Mercs they had.
Standard operation. 20 Marines drop in to learn some Fight, and proceed quite predictably. After the last deck the Mercs bail out and my Marines hack the core. Time to pull Marines back to their barracks and collect the suits. Not a single RRF ship to mess my day either.
Here comes the odd part. Among the 20 "Marines" on board there was one rookie. Among the suits in space there was one of my decent Marines, the "20th man".
Is there some small chance that boarding Marines can be kicked out even though the operation is a walk in the park? (I don't think this was the first time either.)
Similarly, are the defenders kicked out only due to the lack of space, when the limit (of 20) is enforced? My observations on cases with defending crew are rather limited and more on the "all or nothing" side.
The 21th (or 9th) member bailing is a clear case.
How else one could explain a rookie Boron clinging to its seat? Sticky tentacles?
