Ships with the Boarding ability (generally, all Privateer and Tholian ships) can board fuel-less enemy ships by towing them, and thus obtain control over them. Uncooperating enemy crew members are jetissoned and replaced by own crew.
New_crew_on_boarded_ship =
Traitors + Crew_beamed_over
New_crew_on_boarding_ship =
Crew_on_boarding_ship - Crew_beamed_over
...where
Traitors =
Crew_on_boarded_ship
...if boarded ship is Privateer
Trunc(0.9 * Crew_on_boarded_ship)
...if boarded ship is Fed
Trunc(0.7 * Crew_on_boarded_ship)
...if boarded ship is Colonial
Trunc(0.4 * Crew_on_boarded_ship)
...if boarded ship is Empire
0 ...otherwise
Crew_beamed_over =
Min(Boarded_ship_full_crew - Traitors,
Trunc(Boarding_ship_crew / 2))As a special exception, if these formulas would reduce New_crew_on_boarding_ship below 2, PHost uses Traitors = 2 and Crew_beamed_over = 0.
