I will see if I can reproduce this. Sorry for the vagueness. Playing on Challenging. I was exploring. I drew the 'you got roaming pirates' card. I am in meleé combat. Two of mine go down  , but the rest escape. I get to a screen where one button says something like 'you can leave after looking at the result'. Thought that was what I wanted. Got dumped right back into the combat I had just escaped, all 4 of my away team participating, though 2 members, the ones that went down before, have under 10 HP. Either it was a bug that I got back into combat, or the button that means 'run away! run away!' needs better labelling, or if when you run away, there is a chance the people you are escaping from will catch you, that needs to be mentioned with the button. Too bad no 'torp them from orbit' option ... I think a 'be rescued by your crewmates' option would also be good. |

I think a 'be rescued by your crewmates' option would also be good. I like this idea, but not sure how feasible this is, considering your away team is deep in the unknown wilderness. By the time a rescue arrives (assuming they manage to find you at all) they'd be long dead. Speaking of which, exactly how large is the exploration team? I assuming a bunch of people, since others show up to fight if you don't select the OnPatrol people. |

Having recently lost both of my pilots to an exploration mission gone terribly wrong, I am tempted to say that the answer to the question of 'who goes exploring' is 'everybody'.

It's a bug ... there is no button that you could have clicked that would dump you back into combat.

Well, unless you somehow ended up with 2 combats in the stack. If you had 2 pending crew combats, you'd escape 1 and end up back in the second, with auto-selected ppl.
If that's what happened, then the bug is in Explorer somehow making two combats.

though 2 members, the ones that went down before, have under 10 HP Is it possible they have the Revenant trait? What's their Fortitude? startraders.gamepedia.com/Traits |

though 2 members, the ones that went down before, have under 10 HP Is it possible they have the Revenant trait? What's their Fortitude? startraders.gamepedia.com/TraitsThey both had hidden traits. So I would say, yes, very possible. But then I am remembering their HP after they were hit once, as their fort is always over 10. But I was majorly distracted. How likely that two would both get them, I don't know, the game seems to cluster talents, so I end up with a crew full of storytellers one day, and full of pain resistant sorts the next. (though 9 storytellers at once is some sort of record). I'd never seen that trait in the wild before ... and supposed to be unimplemented .... |

Hey fallen. Any chance that traits table can also list how rare a trait is? |

Actually now that I think more on it, since it's a Veteran trait, and listed as Not Implemented, I'm probably just looking for patterns where there aren't any. [This must ring a bell, right?]
I think the clustering may be related to the fact that not all Traits are currently available during Alpha.

When Crew are defeated in combat, they take a Death Save test. If they pass, they "bounce" and receive a Morale and Health pool minimum based on Medical Rating + Fortitude scaled by difficulty.
Use the "Crew Status" tab in combat resolution to view who actually died.

If it happens again, I will remember to do this. Problem was, I thought I knew what had happened. 2 guys died. Sometimes they bounce back from that, but mostly not. The being dumped back into combat thing just distracted me from dealing with things in a proper, bug detecting, alpha-testing manner. (Hey, that I was overjoyed to see my level 7 swordsman back alive, and desperate to not have him die a second time .... says something wonderful about this game, no?)
