(T/F) board to destroy cargo order doesn't work completely in game

[Blazingfirestorm]

So I was testing this order and I found that in original game that a craft with this order will dock with it's target but after it finishes the target won't blow up, so maybe a note on the descriptions that in T/F that how the order works rather than what it says.

It's "Destroy Cargo", not "Destroy Target". The craft doesn't explode, but the boarded craft's cargo is removed without being transferred to the boarding craft.

I just tested it and all that happens is the craft docks and the cargo on the ship that is docked with remains

[Blazingfirestorm]

It's "Destroy Cargo", not "Destroy Target". The craft doesn't explode, but
the boarded craft's cargo is removed without being transferred to the
boarding craft.

that's not what the description says

[MikeG621]

Hmm, went to the TIE95 code base, and it appears to be a generic boarding, with no real action taken. The targeted craft is given a FullStop order upon completion, and that seems to be it.

[Blazingfirestorm]

I assume that the order should work like it does in XVT

[MikeG621]

Yes. TIE95 uses the same flight engine as XvT, and for the most part everything behaves the same minus whatever additions XvT made. There are times where something was apparently in-progress during TIE's development, but then got abandoned or disabled along the way, sometimes to be finished in XvT. This particular order looks like one of those. Not an order that gets used a lot which explains why this got by for so long.

[Blazingfirestorm]

yeah, I think it's only used in one mission I believe B9M1

Updated to "Board with no Effect" via Platform.dll commit. Will be in the next release.
