Boarders disappearing mysteriously

Recommended Posts

I tested boarding a ship again.

 

I had 99 boarders with enough shuttles to transport them all at once. I boarded a pirate ship that showed a pistol icon and numbers 20-30.

 

I had a message "lost 99 boarders" which I guess meant that they left my ship in the shuttles.

 

Then it said "entering" for a while, then a red bar indicating my boarders over a colourful one with the ships crew. Once in a while a red number appeared, I assume that it indicated that my boarders died. Sum of all those red figures was 17 or 18.

 

The ship was captured, but there were no boarders on my ship and only 38 boarders on the captured ship.

 

So if I had 99 boarders and 17 or 18 died, what happened to the rest of them?

 

Thanks in  advance for your answer.

Another test:

 

I had 1147 boarders, 440 left the ship per wave (2 squads of crew shuttles).

Enemy ship had about 90 security and 100 other crew, so they were outnumbered 6:1.

 

During the fight, my casualties always appeared lower then enemy's. However, after the fight, there were 523 boarders on the captured ship (more than the ship's crew capacity) and none on mine.

 

So I lost 624 boarders to capture a ship that had 90 security. But the casualties that were shown as red numbers were less than 90.

 

What happened to my other boarders? Is this the way it's supposed to work?
