and No. thats not how it works Bob. I pay them money, i get eventual access to ALL ships... no 'dont worry about this one or that one'. I WANT access to EVERY ship, and there MUST be a way to do so.

yeah. play the game.
"Oh nooo, I can't get that one ship, my life is ruined! never mind continuing to play and doing things the way it's supposed to be and finding joy in finally conquering a goal I set for myself! Everybody else did it, but I can't, please nerf it then!!"

You cannot blame the developer for bad luck. It's pure mathimatical chance, you cannot blame them for that. Just because you put 6 infantry onto a scout, doesn't mean it automaticly has to capture because you put 6 on there.

Transport + Enemy engies around planets + Scenario Servers + Hard Work + Long Hours = Crappy Station.

heres how you do it-get in a ecm/tractor scout,load a hardened/elite inf,and run around boardingpeople.u will only be able to load/unload 1 inf,but if u get close enough without being detected,the inf will land.capped a cruiser once doing just that,lol.

Have you considered the following possibility?
We have our cargo....filled with inf.
I watch players, experienced and not, try to cap me and its funny when I know they aren't going to be able to take 4 against 1 inf...when I have 4 heavy inf, and theirs is just one, or just inf.
I got capped early and and learned quickly. I've been close a couple of times, but no cigar. I've capped good players and was stunned and happy it worked.
Just shoot your enemy.
They'll learn.
luv,
Padma

Wait till they drop on a planet, closejump. Wait till they try to board you, kill their inf & board them. More often than not inf is in short supply in the early game on scenario servers, theres your golden time.

Heh...I've capped Xplisit's station once...he came again, fought himself in a Dread....and then one of his teamates capped himself back...that's the most caps I've seen in such a short period of time. Anyways, random story.

best bet is making heavy inf in admiral as fast as you can then capping the enemy engineers almost all of my caps are from admiral. Mainly because admiral players don't carry inf and if they do they rarely make heavy inf so there is a good chance that my inf will kill the enemy inf and take the ship. Also seems to work better if you damage the enemy enough that his ship is smoking.
