Has anyone captured a Khaak ship yet?

[Meijin Kinjo]

Just curious what the stats are on various Khaak ships.

Also, what does TP, TL, ...etc mean? All these acronyms are driving me crazy. (For the record, I have not purchased the game yet. but I am considering)

[mep]

M1=carrier
M2=destroyer
M3=Heavy fighter
M4=Normal fighter
M5=light fighter/scout
M6=corvette

TS=Small Transport
TL=Large Transport
TP=Personal Transport

I think that's right..

And I stay well away from the khaak, as should you.

[Elenkis]

I've killed hundreds of Khaak without ever managing to capture one of their ships, I'm guessing that it isn't possible.

I think I ve seen somewhere a Cockpit picture.
And the cockpit looked like made from bees or something.

[Outcast]

Damn those Khaak ships look like shit, just stupid traingles

And those anyone have a picture Xenon and Khaak ???

[Dirtbox]

Has anyone captured a UFO yet? Now THAT would be cool.

With my fully equipped Phoenix I almost captured a Xenon ship (which surprised me cause I thought Xenon = some AI and I thought that they'd all rather be destroyed than giving up a ship).
Unfortunately after the Xenon gave up its ship (I think it was a Xenon M), a few remaining plasma shells hit it and destroyed it. My log said "Xenon M has left its ship, its now yours" and shortly afterwards "Ship Your Xenon M was destroyed by Your Phoenix", that's the only reason why I knew that I had captured one (for a quarter of a second - lol)
I also don't think that Khaak ships can be captured though.

I've captured both a Xenon M and a Xenon L. Sold the M, and refitted the L. Haven't actually jumped into the cockpit of the L as of yet, but since you all have mentioned it, I might soon, take a pic, and post it if you all want.

Forgive my ignorance, but last time I checked, Xenon was an element on the periodical chart.......

1. I presume Xenons are some sort of an alien race? If so, are they friendly or hostile towards you at the start?

2. I remember from reading one of the earlier previews on "X2: The Threat" from several months ago that Khaak ships could be captured..... but from what you guys have told me so far, this doesn't appear to be the case. Perhaps you're not using the proper weaponry such as ship shield disabling "ion beams" of some sort?

3. If anyone can refer me to a url/link that explains about the X2: The Threat universe, I'd appreciate it. I am trying to get an idea of who the various factions are and their technology compares against those of humans.

Thank you.

Meijin, in that case, so are Argon and Boron! It's a conspiracy!

1) Xenon are like the Borg. They are VERY hostile. Doubt they'll ever become friendly. They were the previous threat to the universe. The Xenon are also a lot like Skynet. In general, evil. The ultimate evil, since they know no moral.

2) Khaak ships CAN be captured, or else we'd not have the full 70+ ships to fly?

3) www.x2ou.com, I believe.

[Meijin Kinjo]

Although you did misspell the url, as correct link should have been:

http://www.x2ou.com

This is a very good and informative site. I shall read all that I can about this game before I buy it.

Hmm... If Khaak ships can be captured (how, I have no idea), I wonder if they can be upgraded.... But are Khaaks biological beings or are they sentient electromechanical beings, in which case, their ship probably wouldn't have anything like life-support systems....

[LOTUK]

Does the 70+ ships include the S, M & L variations of each ship? If so I'm not gonna be happy...

[Sandalpocalypse]

Nope... let's see...

There's M1-M6, TL, TS, TP for each race. 9 ships per race.

Argon
Boron
Paranid
Split
Teladi

So there's 45 ships right there.

There's 4 pirate ships, for 49.

Xenon have M3-->M5 that I know of. That's 52. And the Goner ship makes 53 flyable that I know of...

I'm an X-Noob, though, so, probably is more

[Mehrunes]

Xenon should also have an M1 and M2, and possibly an M0 mothership.

[Sandalpocalypse]

Unless you sell out the whole Argon Federation, I'm not sure there's any way of flying a Xenon M1 or M2....

If you lightly peruse your manual, or look in the index, you will see Xenons mentioned.

it is impossible in X-tension... i tried for hours... it is impossible... trust me...

[ManiacDC]

is it even possible to become friends with the Xenon?

If you lightly peruse the first post in this thread, you'll notice he doesn't have the game yet.

I assume the ion cannon might be the capture weapon of choice as it supposidly pasifies a ship without destroying it.
