Come to think of it, other than a Xenon capital, I've never seen a capital from another race engage me outside of a war sector battle... but I'm more of a trader...

Unless they changed something you'll only get more and more M6 and M8, and then they'll suddenly start throwing in M2s.

As someone here had in his signature: "M6 ... M6 ... M6 ... M6 ... M6 ... AKUMA!!!" So you'll eventually get your M2 :p

At what rank is difficult to say, as it depends on what kind of ship you're flying yourself and if you have any other ships nearby (I think).
I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am :D

While flying a Griffon, I got my first M2 at Battlemaster. The previous patrol, when I gained that rank, threw no less than 15 Qs at me (including 9 IS with a group of 6 together). Good times. That was a Defend mission.

I also had an Assassination mission that had a M1 as target, but don't remember if that was at Battlemaster or Crusader. 10 Minutes to destroy a M1 in a Griffon, in a sector with 80km between gates? I called in my Cobra.

Opponent Balancing System

derived from the chart, you need rank 20 (warrior) and do a very hard mission for a 66% chance for a m7 to spawn.

for m2, you need atleast rank 25(battlemaster) and do a very hard mission for an m2 @ 66% chance.

edit: got around doing the maths.

Just saying it forward: I give everyone 2 posts to make good, in context posts(proper english, as always, is optional). After that I'm ignoring what you have to say in that thread that's directed to what we previously were talking about.

I got a Brigantine assassination once while I was flying my Hyperion at Battlemaster. I haven't gotten another once since then though. It's mostly 2 Carracks and a bunch of smaller ships, even on the Very Hard ones.
