The rules do not talk about "abandoned ships", they only talk about ships losing their last crew unit: they say that without crew, ships cannot move/fire, until some more crew is put on board. They do not lose owner, they are simply ships without crew.
Karl makes a good point here. The "friendly" TBP can never win, but both should have an equal chance. BlueDragon: I agree the rules are silent on this, but one without a crew could be considered neither friendly nor unfriendly. We imply that now by allowing transfers between adjacent friendly ships that aren't grappled or fouled, but you CANNOT TBP to an abandoned "friendly" ship without grappling/fouling. That's inconsistent.
If there's nothing clear in the rules, I would vote for a "house rule" where ALL transfers to abandoned ships should act as OBPs. |
