Subset Games Forum

This might just be ignorance on my part, but it seems to me enemy ships have a habit of randomly losing 1 HP (the status I usually leave them in when I board them, trust me, this has led to me altering that tactic and boarding with 2 - 3 HP now). I make sure the enemy is not on fire, I make sure we're not in an asteroid field, I make sure I am not auto firing at them, I board with a crew and the ship randomly explodes, killing my crew.

In one play through I was set to unlock 3 different things but lost 8 crew members to this potential bug and thus led to a horrible defeat instead.

Does a ship lose 1 HP if a sub system is brought down to red? I didn't notice it before and I cannot say if that was the case all 4 times I lost crew this way in the single play through, but it is the only thing I can think of.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Yo. If a system gets damaged by fire or boarders and it fully breaks it takes 1 damage.

Nothing quite like losing your boarding team to it either!

That is correct. A subsystem dropping to red does deal HP damage. Gotta' be careful boarding with that in mind. Either that or avoid damaging systems and just hunt for crew.

That explains a lot! lol, I probably missed the other 3 boarding teams dying that way...

Lost 4 manti, 2 rockmen, an engi and a human that way lol!

Let's see that it doesn't happen again Thanks for the confirmation!
