So is alien hunting easier or harder now?

easier IMO, but I dunno maybe someone else can find a way to paint "less Xeno Crews" as "harder Xeno hunting" but thus far, the logic escapes me. I wait to be surprised.

They are easier to hunt because Cory loaded them using stolen Steel Song ships and torps, which are essentially garbage cams and nerf darts.

I just wondered, because I hoped that less crew would create a paradox, because the stats of the alien captains aren't enough to cover the alien crews.

Interesting theory, poryg. Hmm... I think it would just reduce the number of "unsupervised" xeno crew, but not make the remaining any stronger.

Fun theory, not really relevant to the game ... but fun stuff!

I had just remembered my boarding beginnings, I had lots of crew, enemy cap level 23, but always great casualties, because I had huge crew and low stats (at that time I still hadn't had any idea about optimal builds). The compact enemy ships made it hard for me despite being 66% of my level. So I thought that maybe it would be interesting to ask.
Although truth is, the 1000 crew ships were the only ships which I just couldn't beat in 2 boarding turns, on the other hand 500 crew ships were no challenge for my Alien hunters... At least before the meta change.

[Cory Trese]

Yeah, just looking at the saved games I'm getting via e-mail and running the simulator for a about a million turns a week.

That way I can base the patches on facts and realities of how the game is performing in the v6 era.
