caping

[cyborg991]

Is there a script to allow all ships to become capable?

[Graceburn]

umm, they are. the only ships that you can't cap are story ships, ie. Argon One, and the 'Unknown Object' There is a capping ratio, which can be found somewhere in this forum, no link, sorry

[jlehtone]

umm, they are. the only ships that you can't cap are ...

In unmodified X2 M1, M2, and TL cannot be captured with exception of Xenon K in Xenon Taxi BBS mission. And M6 can be captured only when they are escorts in Assassination BBS mission.


No idea if there is a script for it, but one can naturally emulate capturing with LV's Cheat Pack.

Even Terran Ships?

[SWAHILI!!!]

Ummmm, there are no Terran ships in X2

[Graceburn]

Umm, the UFO is terran (or at least we all assume it is) ,and i forgot about the capships and m6's

[Shadow dream]

UFO is a seperate race (mentioned as unknown) as far as I know. but in X2 editor is written UFO/Goner - ??

The xenons have an m6 in X2? Where? Lol everyone gets x2 and x3 mixed up a lot. Also from reading the title of this thread I thought the OP was talking about tying on a cape and flying around the room lol.

The xenons have an m6 in X2?

Did someone say "Xenon M6"? I did not.

[Graceburn]

OK, I'm summarising this thread.

M5, M4, M3's of any race are always cappable.
M6's are only cabbaple in BBS 'assassination missions.
There is no xenon M6, but in 'Xenon Taxi' missions, Xenon 'K's are cappable.
Story ships cannot be capped (or destroyed) and the 'Unknown Object' is not cappable. (although it is fun to destroy, to hear an Argonian voice'

Thank You,

And GO class ships can be captured too. Great fuel ferries on M2, IIRC.

[Graceburn]

Forgot about those, good idea for fuel, well, i got some goners to kidnap
