Boarding Parties Dont Recharge

[Stopple]

I have been noticing fleets which contain ships which contain boarding pods are not having their full boarding strength recharge, even after long periods of inactivity. Might have something to do with upgrading the ship while one of the pods is empty from recent use?

I believe it's a bug. Please see this thread as well: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3338670&mpage=1
 
It's a very frustrating bug for me. Most of my fleets are now down to less than 1/2 of the boarding strength. Some are even worse (6/45 pods for example) and become unusable as capturing / raiding fleets. And there is no way to fix it. Saving / loading doesn't fix it. I think the only way to regenerate pods is by building new ships.
