I got me a Khaak!

Post by philip_hughes » Wed, 13. Oct 10, 17:06

Dunno how many years I have played this game for, but I have not captured a solitary khaak ship... UNTIL NOW!

I now have a slightly second hand Khaak fighter!

Now to arm the darn thing....
Split now give me death? Nah. Just give me your ship.

Good luck. It can only use weapons that can only be obtained from Kha'ak stations.

Unless you mod the game, of course.

How often does that even happen? lol

I don't think I have ever gotten a pilot to bail on a ship that still had lasers or shields installed on it. :(

For regular ships, in my past games, pretty often. I'd frequently be left with a half loadout of weapons, a full loadout of shields, or dribs and drabs of both... Of course, my new game, the RNG is against me, as I've only managed to capture two ships out of fifty-odd... Both naked as the day they were spawned.

Still, congrats Phil.

You can get weapons from it by blowing up Khaak capitals, and pray to the RNG gods that they favor you. I got currently 1 GKE, 2BKE and 3 AKE, all drops from Khaak capital ships. Still it's a very rare occurance. Don't have a Khaak ship yet to install those things tho....

I've heard that the higher your fight rank, the more likely the destroyed/capped ship is to drop/have weapons.

Oh yeah. I forgot sometimes capital ships will also drop weapons/shields as cargo.

There, corrected. :wink: Capital ships never drop shields, since they only drop stuff that's not equipped when they're killed. And I've never seen a capital ship with spare shields.
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

Maybe it's a mod, but I killed something and it dropped a few 5mj shields into space. Can't imagine what mod it could be other than perhaps the NPC Bailing Addon.

Being a link, it can be any size you like. It's only when you post it as an image on the forum that the posting rules apply. So you're just fine. :)

Freighters carrying shields as cargo will sometimes drop them. Maybe that's what you killed.

Maybe. I get confused by the class icons sometimes; and some are just messed up. I have a couple of TPs that show the M5 icon XD

In TC, once you've completed a certain plot, you'll get certain M6's also serving as freighters on a regular basis. So 'freighter' can include anything in the TP, TS, M5/M4/M3/M6 classes.
