Man...Been trying for almost two hours to capture Vidar
95% of the time when I tell my ship/soldiers to go and capture it they never go then the Terrans capture it. The other 5% they go but cant penetrate the haul. I never tried to capture anything before except right before this mission and I never train any soldiers. I am playing vanilla with the latest version of the game just in case you guys wondering...

You do know that the Terrans will give it to you if you haven't captured it in 5 minutes or so, right? I've had it given to me even before I had a chance to get a ship close to it.
Practice boarding if you want, but hold on to that save prior to trying to capture it so you can reload, wait for the gift, then move on with no marine losses or additional hull damage to the Vidar.

When/where do I wait? After they captured it? Btw, I am at Aldrin not the place where we practice capturing it

Are you talking about the Vidar or the #deca. Two completely different ships and approaches.
I described the Vidar.
For the #deca, just let the Terrans capture it because they will take control of it immediately after capture and any marines you had on board are lost. You don't get the ship under any circumstances.

Omfg, yeah I think I got them confused. I don't remember what happened with the Vidar when I had to practice boarding. What happens if it isn't in my properties? I don't have a save right before practicing boarding
