RE: Re: [FT] Can Extra Damage Control Parties be hit on Threshholds?

No.  They're placed as usual on the hull-box track and you lose them as
usual when you lose that hull box.

Yes.

I believe that's how it is in More Thrust.  At any rate, think of it
this
way.  The other damage control teams are vulnerable because they're on
the
damage boxes, the excess damage control party needs to be vulnerable as
well, and the only way is via risk from thresholds.  Also, if they
didn't
take damage from thresholds, then you'd have a group of superhumans (or
whatever) that could not be harmed while their ship was blowing apart
around
them!
