Game Over if all crew dead but have cloning bay?
Regarding the advanced edition of FTL:
If all of your crew dies but you have a cloning bay on your vessel, is it immediately game over, or does the cloning bay prevent that? Is the game smart enough to know that a damaged cloning bay and a fully dead crew means you cannot recover, but a functional one (even if temporarily without power) could revive your crew?
Also, does this answer differ between hostile ships and your own ship? (That is, do you get to capture and loot enemy vessels that have all dead crew but have a functional cloning bay?)
Best Answer
I have boarded enemy ships with cloning bays, and if their cloning bay remains online and powered, eliminating their crew does not grant victory of the battle. I cannot prove this, beyond my word however.

Answer 2
In regard to the backup DNA bank + Clone Bay destroyed + All Crew Dead question... The game doesn't seem to know what to do. I just had it happen by accident and the game is stuck where I can't jump; no game over message.
Received the following from FT Tech Support in response to the above issue:
"That's a tricky end game state to detect, as there are a lot of ways out of it. If you had a repair drone or repair bomb, then you'd be able to save yourself. Or if you had another crew rewarded after the fight, you could save yourself. So right now we've just left it as an odd state that you have to manually leave. Thanks for the report though."
