Title: Spoiler POW's
Post by: Rich.h on July 19, 2017, 08:10:41 PM
So I boarded a couple of invader vessels and got the normal boarding message of an amount of prisoners taken and interrogations being carried out. Due to the condition of the vessels I had to put tem in a hanger to bring back for dismantling, however I cannot see any prisoners on either the original craft or the carrier vessel. Do the prisoners stay on the main craft, get moved to a carrier when put into a hanger, or do spoiler races simply vanish into thin air upon being taken prisoner?

From what I have found the only time you have POW's to offload is when you pick them up in lifeboats.  If you take them during the capture of the enemy ship it appears they are "assimilated" into your crew because the crew number on the captured ship is the same as the number of prisoners you captured.  Maybe this is something Steve can work out with the new version, requiring a minimum number of crew to operate a ship, and allowing for a prize crew to be sent over from your ships.
