KA-BOOOM !!!
- Damage report!
- Engines hit Captain! One more hit and we are immobile.
- Fire all photon torpedos. Maximum spread.
- Aye Aye Captain.
Time stopped.
We all saw our torpedos going right to that bloody pirates, in a second they would be dead... but in that long last second their guns shoot last blast. My ship shaked, I knew that engines are destroyed. Moment later I saw bright light and pirate's ship explode. Damn, I never saw so big explosion before. That ship was full of weapons.
We won. At first seconds we enjoy our victory, but suddenly we saw scariest thing in my whole life.
Among remains we saw vacuumed by space fragments of pirate's bodies and they... it... that things were drifting in our direction. No! That werent drifting... That were flying in our direction! Arms, legs, even heads teared off from bodies attacked us! We were boarded by zombies!
Half of my crew get insane! With few of my still soberly thinking crew we barricaded on bridge, but that creatures only stole my cargo and run away with it right in the void!
Every night since that day I wake up with scream and headache.
Someone must do something with that... someone must do something...
well... someone - its you Cory  something - repair that bug: when player's engines are destroyed, but in the same time we destroy opponents hull - we still lose, not mention that enemy even can board us... |

You were defeated by Crew in boarding shuttles and already on your ship, probably?
I will look at this but the code for post-defeat conflict resolution is very specific.
Although, I do see how this scenario you describe might be unsettling, clearly, you felt that the game had a bug even when it was specifically designed to work the way it worked.
I will consider some revisions pending the other commentary

i was on maximum range and when my torpedo hit enemy and destroyed it - i lose bording shuttles? - even if they exist and only computer ships can use it, there shouldnt be enought space to stole my cargo - its quite far-fetched explanation  |

Maximum Range was not in your original post, you included Boarding. I was talking about this post: startradersrpg.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=tips&action=display&thread=570&page=2There is a great deal of information regarding the function of Boarding Crew allocations, from that you may be able to extrapolate the meaning I was intending in my initial post. I will look into this report further to see if I can find anything. I'm not attempting to provide anything "far-fetched" only explain the rules as I understand them. Subject to change. |

bording shuttles? - even if they exist and only computer ships can use it, ... I believe he's referring to attack shuttles, which are a standard upgrade that supposedly is available to player ships, though I've not yet found a stardock which could install them - but then, I haven't been playing very long, and so far most of my captains have died before achieving much rank. |

Ah, OK he's talking about an upgrade I'm talking about a mechanic. The upgrades on the ship would not impact victory resolution except in the case of escape shuttle. I will continue to read the code and try to figure out what might have happened.
