Post subject: | Problem with borg |
I have been trying for two weeks to capture a Borg ship "The Cube". Today i caught one and wiped out its fighters, ported in a L6 planet and activated the beam. Then surronded the sector with 2k fighters in every adjacent sector. I then began to attack its shields. I am in a Corp. Flag and i drop 8k figs on it and get its shields down to 50% and then it just warps out and bypasses my fighters, and back out into the shippling lanes. I follow it trying to attack it for 4 more sectors before it just vanishes. My question is can the Cube be captured? It seems to violate every thing I know about capturing ships. |

Maybe it docked at a port. |

Maybe someone slicked it up with Vaseline! LOL I think it's similar to a player warping out. You think you have them surrounded, but poof... then you see them hit a fig a few sectors away. Do you have a ship with an interdictor generator or a L6 planet to grab hold of the ship? And yes, if there is a port, they may port and be out of view, but still in the sector. Sometimes they stay down for a while. Be patient! |

Yes i had a l6 planet there holding them.....or so I thought. Also they never hit my figs on the way out. Still had 2k in each surronding sector. That is why I am at a loss. Also where I lost him there was no ports for 2 sectors. But that is the only thing that would make sense is the port. How he got out is what is confusing me. |

I believe they can retreat off the fig in sector.. the one in the sector you are attacking them in.. pick that fig up before you start the cap.. |

Archie is right , most surrounds also drop a fighter in the pivot sector. Therefore the alien can not only retreat but warp away off of the fighter .. something players can not do .. its like a observer account blind warp away ... When playing against aliens surround and remove your fighter in pivot sector before you attack , and IG will not always hold them anyways. Good luck and have fun. Vid |
