TC 3.1 vanilla - Newbie marines captured a Boron Casino (Orca) with 100% hull?

Is the game suddenly somehow buggy or more forgiving?

20 newbie marines motley crew, nowhere near good skills, in fact over 50% of the crew hadn't even gone through any training.

Boron Casino Orca as target.

I moved in with my Kea, took down shields with EBC's and kept them at 1%-4% with turret PRG and 2 main battery PRG's, nice and easy. Fired 20 marines from Gannet with piracy command. Jumped Gannet away, stopped the PRG's once the marines were in. Usual fighting commences, but civilian ship has no internal defences so even the newbies go through fine.

However,the hull never went below 100%!? That's never happened to me before and the only reason I went after the civilian ship was that when I was trying to capture a return ship M6 my marines trashed the ship every time before they got to the core.

Weird...

Haha, I guess so!? :D

Quite a successful first capture anyway, I just checked the ship value at PTNI HQ shipyard, 16.1M or so, it's got 4 x 200MJ shields and a jumpdrive too. o.O

Maybe I'll do lotto this week, lol.
