Exactly. Just like in Tim's host. To be even more precise, each player
has his own UnitsPerTorpRate, and in theory, those can differ for all
races. UnitsPerTorpRate is a config thing, not a hull function that
changes ownership with the ship.

Ah, thanks for the info.

Odd though that captured colonists in the hold are transformed to
another race, those of the captor. Ah, thanks for the info. Odd though
that captured colonists in the hold are transformed to another race,
those of the captor. Yet the crew of the captured ships are most often
not... One of lifes little anomolies. (Especially robots becoming
"humanoid". Wouldn't Commander Data like that!) Yet the crew of the
captured ships are most often not converted to crew of the captors....
One of lifes little anomolies. Oh well.

I would love to capture some Orions and put them to slave labor making
fighters in the holds of my Base Ships. (Get to work or taste this
cattle prod again! zzzzttttt! )

Thanks again.
