Capturing ships without destroying them....

Post by Symont » Sat, 3. May 14, 23:49

I had a mission where i needed to bring back a stolen ship. I found and attacked it but the pilot never bailed! I was shooting with only one cannon, it's hull was going down very slowly, and even then the pilot fought to its

I'm flying a terran ship (cutlass) and thus have access to limited weaponry. What should i do to force the pilot to eject without destroying the ship?

Recovering a stolen fighter is extremely rare. It seems like the pilots of them are programmed NOT to bail out. Avoid stolen recovery missions until you get to recover boardable ships.

Generally I avoid the stolen ship missions

tend to go for the abandoned ship missions.Much more lucrative if you want to sell the ships instead. :twisted:

What type of ship is it? Maybe your fight/race rank is high enough that you got a TM, M6, etc...which requires boarding with marines?
