I would say to keep it simple. Number of boarding parties a ship can muster is equal to the number of DCP's. The number of marines for ship defense is the same. If a ship launches a boarding pary, it looses that number of marines for defense. 1 boarding party per shuttle. Use heavy fighter rules for damaging a shuttle. The shuttle has no anti-ship weapons and dogfights as a torpedo fighter. When attacking a ship a 5 or 6 indicates it has delivered it cargo of marines. Abstracted onboard fighting for FT: Once on board, a boarding party may: 1. Attack defensive marines (both sides roll a die for each party, on a 5-6 the opposite party is destroyed). 2. If the number of boarding parties are equal to or higher than the number of defensive marines, they may either: 2a. Attack the ship. Treat as a Needle Beam attack for each boarding party. 2b. Attack the DCP's (same as defensive marines) 2c. Attack defensive marines. For non-abstracted, use Stargrunt or whatever. -Bri [quoted original message omitted]
