mission 3 can't capture

[winterwolf8601]

I send my salvage corvettes to capture the assault frigate when it says I should and it just goes next to it and does nothing

[Rupok]

you have to send 2 of them so other one goes to the other side.

[x3samir]

you need frigate to bee full health without any damage. So first you destroy the one with half heallth. then you remove the fighters to another location and then send the salvage corvete

This is not true, capture targets can be damaged, makes no difference. Altho I have noticed that sometimes the capture process dont activate, just abort and give the salvage corvettes the order again

in the misiion the object is the capturing the frigate and it needs to bee at full health. It is in the objectives

I've tried it a few times but unable to capture the unit with full or low health, I'll try again tomorrow. Great game :) brings back the memories.

x3samir, i completed it yesterday and my ships kept shooting at it, doubt it was a full health.

[yonsito]

the frigates appear to bug out sometimes, with high negative values for movement speed.

[Tiggy]

you need 2 salvage frigs for frigates 3 for destroyers and up to 5 i think for carriers and cruisers

[Teo]

I think you guys misunderstood the question.

I completed it just a while ago and as said in the first post, you need 2 salvage corvetes to recover the frigate. One will not do anything.

Also it is best to make 4 salvage corvets and capture both frigates. You get a lot of resources and you will lose no fighters.

I have 2 salavage ships (one on either side) and I can't capture....

[WarOrk]

Are you using the SPECIAL function to capture? With salvage corvette selected, HOLD SHIFT KEY and RIGHT CLICK ON ENEMY, then select Salvage/Capture.

I have the same issue. I sent 2 salvage corvetes and after they capture one assault frigate the speed changes to a crazy vallue -2234213... and wont move! The full healthy or half healthy, neither of two moves when I capture them. And I can't finish this level, cuse capture one frigate is a main objective. Nice game but I'm giving up. No patience for that kind of bug

Have you tried restarting the mission? This mission doesnt take more than 20 minutes max, so i dont think it should be a big deal to do so.

Yes, I've try. And the good news is that I made it!
After several attempts I could capture and move the full healthy frigate. Some considerations:
- the frigate wasn't at fully health when I capture.
- it had moved to fire my scouts.
Hope that help

This is a known bug with mission 3. It has nothing to do with enemy health or what the enemy is doing at the time. As Yonsinto said sometimes the frigates just bug out and go to negative speed value at which point the only way to continue is to restart the mission and try again.
