Shields Up, But people can board anyway

[Deantwo]

This morning during combat my ship was boarded while my shields were up.

I was personally controlling the ship and watching the shields. They did not drop at any point during the engagement and yet Not_An_Staines_Alt was able to board my ship.

As far as I know it is possible to use transporters to board a ship with shields up if your ship is inside (or partially?) the shield bubble.

It is a little concerning that we can't reliably defend against transporters.

he managed to board the ship and actually took it over, logging off presumably soon after boarding.

To get rid of enemy avatars that are offline on your ship, you have to click the "Reconclie Roster and Kick Stowaways" button on the Spacecraft window's Roster tab.
