Boarding with fleet
Can I only board enemy ships with the crew of my flagship? Or is it possible to involve other ships or crew members from my fleet?

If it's only the flagship, that probably makes boarding of ships even one tier higher than mine almost impossible. Or am I missing something?

Edit: Just read that I can equip my crew with guns and grenades. How do I do that? Cannot find it anywhere...

to equip Hand To Hand weaponry just buy them in the ship you'll be using for boarding. each crewmember can only use 1 weapon at a time, so they don't stack. if you have grenades and rifles, grenades have higher attack, so they'll use grenades for attacking, whereas if you defend they'll use rifles because rifles have a higher defense. Defense is useless for the player, rather it works against you because the higher your defense is, the less likely enemies are to attack, so if they don't attack they'll defend, and if they defend less of them will die since their defense will always be higher than their attack, so just get the best Attack outfit possible to get best odds at capturing (the very best of these outfits being the Nerve Gas, there is one alien Hand To Hand outfit that has more attack, but it has even more defense, so in the end it ends up hurting your chances in the end)

That's where I'm confused. Do you buy them while boarding or at an outfitter beforehand? None of the outfitter I visited so far had any hand to hand weapons...

I looked at outfitters in Rutilicus, Cebalrai, Rasalhague, Rastaban and Alphecca. None of them offer rifles...am I in the wrong region?

I tried all options checked and unchecked (e.g. "Show outfits for sale") by the way...

not every place is going to have every Hand To Hand outfit. try to check in more than just a cluster of very close systems. Sol is 3 jumps from Ruticulus and has them, Sargas is 3 jumps from Alphecca and has rifles, grenades, and nerve gas.

Alright, did find an outfitter with rifles. Thanks again! :)
