RE: FT : EW & Boarding Parties

Using crew size as your boarding factors does work, but in FTFB you have
a LOT more boarding factors than MT, so the difference between a light
cruiser & a heavy cruiser is usually overwhelming.  Law of averages
kicks small ships in the teeth.

On a tangent, has there been any change to boarding actions in relation
to
FTFB?  Old rules were essentially Damage Points/4 Boarding Factors.  I
would imagine that the new rules should tie boarding Factor to crew
size.
Is there a recommendation for what level of Boarding Factors I should
have?
Right now DCP is the same as crew units - would it be reasonable to
assume
the same level? though from the DCP desctiption that would place half
the
crew on DCP/BP work.  Has anyone else worked this?
