Formula for boarding actions |

Space Empires V FAQs
Just how does the engine decide if a boarding action was succesful or not? Is there a random factor involved, or is it simply a case of if boarding parties > crew+security then you win, else you lose?
And if the attackers lose, does the action still result in crew deaths, thus making it possible to swarm an enemy ship with multiple smaller boarding actions?

Boarding Strength

Note that you can manipulate the boarding defense strength of the crew in settings.txt as well. I think it's 0.1 (?) by default, so 10 crew can repel 1 boarding attacker etc. Security Stations are at equal strength to Boarding attackers.

Actually, after playing
Actually, after playing around a bit with the simulator I think I've answered my own questions. Looking at the Status tab of a ship which is being boarded you can see the boarding strength of the crew and security stations and any attacking boarding parties. The crew is slowly killed off by the attackers until one or the other is dead. And yes, it is possible to swarm the ship with multiple small attackers.
