Use wingmen. Split M3's as they are the fastest. That's all I can tell you because I destroy the ship, not capture. Al would be the best person for you to ask, as he is the lead capturer on this forrum.

Nah, ya don't need wingmen.

Just stay on him, aim low and make every shot count.

yes, go it alone, much less complicated. Just dont miss, be precise, expect it to take time. the key towards the end is to fire multiple shots, almost using all energy, without missing, and without blowing em' up. This is the best way to get a pilot to bail. :wink:

as most have said, capture the perseus by yourself, by controlled and sustained accurate shooting.

I used to do it with one wingman, a mamba, share the work, till he's at about 10% call the wingman off and finish it yourself, it is tricky but then thats the idea.. made my head hurt after a while :roll:

There are few feelings better than watching the HUD go blue, although i always panic im going to crash into the back of the new prize, never have though..

Get on his tail, between about 50-120 meters and don't miss. Once he turns blue you may have some trouble with the Argon Police, they don't always recognise the fact that the ship has changed owners. If you have a transporter device then you can use that to get in the ship and the Argons will know it's yours.
