[TC] Possible to obtain Experimental Electro-Magnetic Plasma Cannons from plot mission?

[Infested Adam]

I just recently finished the Terran mission where you're given three Rapiers and is told to patrol some sectors. It was during this mission that I noticed that the #deca.xxxx ships were carrying some EEMPC.

After reading how rare or difficult it is to find such weapons I'm considering just reloading an earlier save and make an attempt to cap these ships. Before I do that though is it even possible to cap them via either making them bail or via marines?

Comments and suggestions are appreciated,

Thank you

Not worth it. IF they bail, they usually take the guns with them. No frets though, X3:TC 2.0 fixed the shortage that was in earlier versions.

no point capping them until you get further on in the plot as even if you get the experimental empc you cant use it. later on you will come across a sector where you can buy both deca and guns.

Aldrin mission will also give you new M3(speed ~450) and M6(360)

Just remember that once you get access to the EEMPC's, take advantage of it and stock up on some. The game has a problem in it that takes away the EEMPC forges and doesn't allow them to respawn--it happened to me and several others. If you stock up on them, and it happens, you can clone them if you need to. You can't build a new one either. Hopefully this will be fixed in the next patch.
