[Bug]Intruders attacking without enemy ship having teleport?

[NomadWanderer]

I was have a great game, when suddenly I got a few bad events in a row. Lost Crew, got damaged, and was now in bad shape. Luckily I got a map, had credits and was heading towards a store.

When I then encountered a Slug Assault. I immediately paused and assessed the situation. With so few crew(2) I was lucky that the Assault craft did not have a teleporter I did have drone 8, with a defense 2 and an attack 2 drone loaded.

I unpaused popped both drones, and set my weapons to start taking down the assault.

I was very frustrated to suddenly have 2 slug intruders on my craft.. they started shutting down drones first, and then moved to shields.. I was quickly destroyed...

My question is, I believe this is a bug. During ship combat, there shouldn't be boarders unless the craft either has a drone launcher (for the robot boarder) or a crew teleporter... The slug craft had neither of these....

Please advise.

I do not think this is a bug. It's part of the event afaik. If you had read the text before the battle it probably mentions something that explains how they show up. I think they port in from a nearby station or something?

However since the craft does not have a teleporter the boarders cant port back out (I hate it when you almost kill the boarders and they just port back... buggers)

Pretty sure Gorlom is right. I stopped clicking through the text without reading it when I accidentally turned down a new crew member unknowingly. Read all the text. It contains useful information and sometimes hints on how to win the event.
