.TH Command BOARD
|
|
.NA board "Board enemy ship"
|
|
.LV Basic
|
|
.SY "board [<VICTIM SHIP>] [<FROM SHIP> | <FROM SECT>]"
|
|
The board command enables two ships' crews to engage in hand-to-hand
|
|
combat.
|
|
To board ship #16 from ship #93 you might type:
|
|
.EX board 16
|
|
.s1
|
|
The program will ask from which ship or sector you wish to board,
|
|
(you may only board from one ship at a time), how many troops to board
|
|
with, and which land units (having "assault" capability) to board with.
|
|
.s1
|
|
In order to be able to board a ship from a ship, your ship must be as fast
|
|
or faster than the defending ship.
|
|
If you can't catch him, you can't board him!
|
|
.s1
|
|
The attacking ship will use, based upon its speed, an amount of mobility
|
|
to overtake and board the target ship.
|
|
If the attacking ship has no mobility, it cannot catch anybody!
|
|
Ships' speed depends upon the speed of the ship, the technology
|
|
of the owner, and the current efficiency of the ship.
|
|
A 50% damaged ship moves one-half the speed it does when undamaged.
|
|
.s1
|
|
In order to board a ship from a sector, the ship must be in the
|
|
sector, and either the sector must have mobility or it must contain
|
|
some land units with the "assault" capability.
|
|
.s1
|
|
Some things to note:
|
|
.s1
|
|
The defense strength is multiplied by 1 + def/100 where def is the
|
|
defense strength of the ship (see show ship stats).
|
|
.s1
|
|
Other ships belonging to the victim will fire on you when you
|
|
try to board, (if you're within range).
|
|
.s1
|
|
Any land units in the combat will fight as if they were simply mil,
|
|
i.e. they won't get any offensive of defensive multiplier, except for
|
|
"marine" units which get their full bonus. Similarly, units
|
|
on ships don't have to take morale checks, as they are fighting as mil.
|
|
Mil on the victim ship will still die before units take casualties, however.
|
|
.s1
|
|
Note that you can only board with as many mil and land units that the
|
|
ship you are trying to board can hold.
|
