In my humble opinion anything that could be considered a balance issue is a moot point unless the AI utilize it against you because otherwise it's an exploit you willing choose to use to game the system.

Party A original owner and controller of the vessel
Party B lands a Boarding party and starts attempt to gain access to vessel A
Party C lands a Boarding Party and starts attempt to gain access to vessel A

parties B & C boarding parties are landed within 10 seconds of each other.

That's what I thought.

I don't think Steve has this covered in the code.  Nor have I gamed this scenario.

This is just my guess based on the original posts.

Both B and C will ignore each other in favor of overcoming A.  If A is subdued first then the new controlling race will become A in the scenario.

Guessing here but if one race captures the ship, the other one might continue the boarding action against the new owner. I'm not at home at the moment so I can't check the code. I also suspect that if that happens, the military unit that captured the ship will defend it against the other boarding attempt.

Additional question will the surviving original crew assist the New owners in defending the ship from the next prospective owners?

Does any original crew has any chance of survival? Don't they defend till the last drop of peasant's blood?
