I suspect the first is more likely, but maybe there is something to check out. Maybe you need your own power/stat cards for them?Or you need to simplify further? No "hit points" anymore perhaps, maybe more something along the lines of tracking three states or success grades: - Unit advances- Unit retreats- Unit destroyedWhen all boarding units have retreated, they leave the ship and the ship can't be boarded again for full round. When all defending units retreat, the ship is under enemy control but the defenders are still aboard, continuing the fight. You could allow Units that advance to take over subsystems... But that would make things more complicated again, I suppose. But then, that is pretty much what the Cylons wanted to do in the second season of the BSG:TNS. Get secondary damage control and weapons control to turn of life support and fire weapons at the civilians... Feels like Star Trek. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> I suppose it might not fly in campaign play. "Yeah, I won. Oops, only two fighters left for the next battle."</blockquote>
