Still works. All HWPs and aux units will be placed and you can duke it out.
Cool just wondering.
By auto-recovery I meant if the base defenses blow up the enemy ship. That base defense score means something. But I could swear ive shot down enemies before and it doesnt even show me the debrief/loot screen, maybe my memory is fuzzy though. Allowing base defenses to crush them precludes getting captures but they often bring lots of snazzy stuff with them worth saving (plasma guns, plasma scorcher, etc). If base defenses brought down a battleship/dreadnought in vanilla you get the full loot of the ship.
Barrel bombing is as simple as getting up to the top, wait for next turn, come out the door and fall off the balcony, drop the bomb (2 TUs) then run for cover in the next room. Throwing stuff will invoke reaction fire, movement can invoke it, but you spend less TU this way and might only get shot at while running away. Depends on the faction you're being hit with I guess but from what ive heard only Stargod Waspites are a threat to this.
I often smash dudes with bombs, hellerium grenades and so on just by "dropping" it right in front of them as I run by them. They cant react to dropping an item. Its very mean, though you wont be able to get it in the same square as someone that way.
