Can you make M6/M7/M2 ships eject?

[namster210]

I'm not that far into the game (my biggest ship is an M6 Skiron). I was wondering that if I attack an M6 or M7 ship like a Centaur or Heavy Osprey, will its crew eject like fighters and bombers?

No they won't, you need to board them.

In X3AP some of the enemy ship's defending marines (if any) may bail out if your boarding op is successful. It used to happen in early X3TC too but it was later patched out of that game.

As for , will it launch fighters it realy depends on the ship thats under attack, alot of the smaller millitary ships cant carry smaller fighter ships, the easyest way to tell is to target the ship, and hit the 'U' key( might be i key) to bring up a window with the target info, if it lists hannger, then yes it can launch fighter ships if there are docked

it can be very confuseing considering the number of ships in the game, a few m7's can carry fighters, there is also fighter drones that any ship can use, if the npc has them, they usaly will use them.


if your flying a m6, i whouldnt be worryed about the fighters that are launched unless theres a huge number of them

as for bombers, i think only the terran ships can land bombers M8

but there is a few odd ships that dont realy fit the normal, check target info

I have not seen it myself, but it was reported in this forum, that in X3TC, during the "Return My Stolen Ship" mission, shooting at an M6 sometimes would cause the M6 pilot to eject, and you can claim the ship. This is like the same deal with X2's Assassination mission, where the M6 escort can bail when you shoot at them.
