Issues with boarded special pirates
I forgot to record the evidence here but I boarded a "Boosted Deadly Prowler" during Extreme difficulty prototype battleship that was giving off all the hull polarity rainbow effects and immune phases, and after capturing as soon as I added a hull polarizer (or possibly any system) instantly blew up the server. If this is part of another mod we have let me know but think its just part of the extreme difficulty prototype battleship's escort spawns.

Idk if any of the special effects of those boarded ships would persist through server restart but I thought it would have been neat. Otherwise just a trophy until server restarts lmao. :albedobeer:

That's an issue with ESCC.

I guess I should make a modification to a few of the buff scripts.

I never accounted for another player boarding them because I keep forgetting boarding is a mechanic. I think I tried it once for novelty's sake but it's just not worth it economically.

Afaik there is still a vanilla bug that ships have boosted shield values over the actual values shown in build mode that seem to persist until the ship is destroyed. At least server wise. Someone told me about this and that these values reset on log out in SP supposedly, but on server at least, maybe because of our difficulty x8 hp/omicron mod, but definitely still a thing for us. Then I got to thinking what if I capture the RGB glowing ships and make them into my own ships, and here we are. I have several other ships with this effect from core encounters reinforcements but did not get to test yet if they cause the same crashes as the first one I tried.

This one I made the report about was special in that it seemed to have four different alternating resist glows (blue, green, yellow and red), the others just have 1 I think. I am waiting on a new copy of our server to a test server to check the others as I didn't want to go off crashing the server to check them.

Yep, at least one other test --
A ship with just the blue burst buff from core encounter reinforcements was okay to build on, it just seems to be this really rare one I have that does yellow, red, green and blue all at once that causes crashes.

I really find it neat that at least until the ships are destroyed, I can build these into my fleet ships lol. I'll just avoid that quadruple buffed one for now, never even saw that ship a second time anyways. A couple with two colors but not four.
