[X3AP] Capturing Xenon L - Does reloading work?

[dave1001]

In Albion Prelude, when trying to capture the Xenon L, does reloading change the chance of the pilot bailing?

No, it doesn't. Better look for another Xenon L.

The chance is the same each try, but more tries will eventually lead to success. But it could be many reloads, and you put all eggs into the same basket as you don't know the CPU's morale value. I prefer cruising through swarms of Xenon L's with some flak weapon and more sooner than later you get a blue L.

Getting LX, however is much harder ...

Worked for me. I saved right after accepting a Xenon invasion defense mission (in Black Hole Sun). There were about 6 Ls in the pack (also Ms and Ns). It took about 4 reloads for one of them to bail. He actually bailed pretty quickly - probably about 80% hull left.
