Claimable destroyer found, how to claim it intact?

[oli4uk]

RE. the minefields, first attempt was a nightmare with the mines, then I figured out after a retry (after becoming exasperated with long repair times) that I could go North, avoid most of the mines, and then enter the gate from the rear to exit the sector.

[surferx]

I found the destroyer, had to leave it to go get an EMP bomb crafted. I went thru the tracker mine fields in travel drive mode and wasn't touched, in fact no mines even went off. This is possibly a bug, clearly an exploit.

No need to board this ship, as it’s abandoned a single marine will claim it for you


You just have to move far enough away (a few hundred km was ok for me both times I did this or failing that out of sector) to allow the marine to board

The mines are still a hazard even with the travel drive - if you don’t go fast enough or get too close they will cripple the engines of your newly claimed destroyer and leave you stranded - if you are lucky lol ^_^

In terms of getting out of the sector:

- first time I went under the plane of the sector then approached the exit from underneath

This was tricky as the last 50km was quite slow trying to line up with the gate before the mines did their thing , and I also had to deploy laser towers to keep the xenon at bay, and use my fighter to help

- second time I went south and lined up with the gate from about 400km away. I then used the travel drive to fly full speed into it

This works much better, provided you are properly lined up!

..., will have to craft the emp bomb probably. Then launch one at the ship, right click the bomb and tell it to blow.

Emp bombs are sometimes for sale on pirate stations too.

When I tried to board this ship, it told me i needed to destroy the ships turrets before my marine would board it. is that normal?

Yes, because you don't need to board it, as it's abandoned, you can just claim it.

A little tip (requires confirmation):

You can use an EMP bomb on it, scan the red dots before claiming it, and get its blueprint for the shipyard. I did it for other abandoned ships around and worked (even if sometimes buggy).

Answering the Original question: There is no way to claim it intact. Ships of L class or bigger have to be claimed with marines and this will always destroy some equipment. Only M class or smaller can be claimed intact because you can do it yourself: repair the leak in your suit and enter the ship.

Yes and no.

You can board L- and XL-class ships without damaging them (much). You need to set the two dropdowns in the boarding screen to "very strong". In that case you don't need to damage any weapons. You can even try to leave the hull at 100%. It works with the abandoned Oddy, but it takes extremely long to break through the hull of other ships. Normally it's enough to bring the hull down to ~90% to make it breakable much faster.

But the abandoned Oddy ALWAYS loses its main weapons, independently if you "claim" or "board" it.

so: yes and yes!

I claimed it 2ice (in different games) so far.Its simple
Just send a couple of marines, get the hell away and out of sector as fast as you can, set the boarding criteria to hard and the marines will claim it for you and drive it out without damage.(at least not visible damage in hull and shields).
There might be some internal damage to fix on guns or other parts like engines but that might have been like this all along (hence the reason it is abandoned).
Going OOS will render the mines useless so no need to worry about them.
Now pre 2.0 it was fairly easy (if not just trivial) to get it out, now with the Xenon on steroids i simply don't know how easy this would be.Haven't tried it after 1.6.

I just looked through the save game file for the ownerless Odysseus, before I rescued it. It doesn't have any main guns fitted, only the turrets. It does seem to explain why it was abandoned in the first place.

Where is this ship located?

Unless it's changed recently, you just throw an emp bomb at it and scan the 4 points.

This'll claim it intact. No damage, no marines required.

Just out of curiosity: Is there a special place to drop the bomb? I tried that in 2.0 and could not claim it that way.

You're right, it's changed.

From a fresh game, I was able to cap it by hiring a single marine, then instructing her to board with Combat Effectiveness and Hull Strength at Very High (the highest). She was able to take it after about 10 minutes with no damage done.

If you don't want to watch the boarding pod circle the ship like a penny on one of those donation vortexes, you can teleport or fly out of sector and it'll be a lot faster.

It gets more interesting if you leave it a while to go collect
