I found this in the Altair system. I take out the 3 escorts and then try to stay on this guy's stern because he has no firing solution back there. But alas after 2 attempts I gave up to continue on my mission. I'll be back

Is it possible to capture legendary ships?

[Krash Megiddo]

I don't think we can capture battleships. That would be a big deal everyone goes for if so.

You cannot board M class ships. Look at the crew size...lol

[Spazticus]

You can't capture them. Their reactor is Class M. Maybe it'll be a future possibility, but at this point you don't even get the option to dock with them.

I can deal with that crew. Looking at it now I think BGS did not code interiors for them.

I stopped trying to flank him and just face tanked long enough until I got in trouble. Boost to the side, repair, face tank.

Oh yeah the XP reward was 3750

Only if it's a plot point. In the crimson fleet quest, if you side with the fleet, you capture one. But you don't get to keep it, or even fly it. But it is 'captured.'

I'll go back to earlier save and capture a screenshot of the Calumus like that. Btw, your ship is insane O.O

Yeah well insanity was taking on the four of them with 8 turrets and 4 missiles. Which the missiles got so damaged they could not really be used....

Your screenshot may not be the same if you do not have rank 4 of scanners.

shame you can't board it and clear it out of enemy as "capturing" it and use it with faction crew or something - would be so cool

That is 83 crew members and probably at least over a dozen turrets. Then something happens where they play pig pile on you....

Yeah been there done that with a crew of a dozen level 90s. You would also need my freighter earlier to haul away all the loot, then take you like a week or two to sell it all to the vendors. Not much fun, rather just make it go boom, lol.

You're correct. I have rank 1 of scanners:

I didn't know I could scan ships like this Your build inspires me to take mine back to the shipyard and at least make it look less like a brick.

Yeah I am debating on taking some of my ships design and turning them into guides. Go into build mode separate the levels (so people can see) and post screen shots. Kinda like the old Lego instructions, lol.

Honestly, bricks have more hull points, lol. Seriously my brick has about 350 more hull points than my other ship. However flying like a brick kinda sucks because playing the looping game trying to get a faster ship into view sucks and it lacks jump range in the "out rim." Bricks also have really horrible interiors that are way too mazey due to lack of control (like NMS.) That probably be my last brick because it was more of a "hey let me see how big of a freighter I can make." Plus as I noticed, anything above 10k cargo is kind of a waste, unless you are running cargo missions.

Looking at your screenshot, I would advise to think about ditching the lasers. Even on very hard 2-3 barrages of 4 particle cannons strip shields. Also those lasers are about useless in a fight with the legendary ships because none of them have shields. I think the big assumption people make is weapons have to be certain types. Weapon systems are broken into 3 categories of 12 power. You just need different models, like my PSF has 2 types of particle cannon turrets.

I may ask where you found those ? Or are these random encounters ?
