I have some questions regarding ground combat and boarding in v5. 42/5. 5.
1. What happens to my marines after/if they conquer the ship? Are they placed aboard it or do they disappear or what?
2. Do I need both troop bays and combat drop modules to move troops between, or will one or the other work?
3. Does boarding increase a chance of detection? For example, if I had a stealthy ship with a very low thermal signature "shoot off" a module of marines, will either the ship's launch or their boarding be detected by other ships? Also, after a successful boarding attempt, will enemy ships immediately detect the captured ship as an enemy? I'm trying to design a stealthy FAC-launching assault ship that can capture enemy shipping and interrogate their captains.
