Retyu:

I resent the fact my previous article on how awesome I am was removed. It highlighted not only my incredible skill, but also my extreme popularity with players! I can only assume it was a sheer act of jealousy! I created Rattie Moe god damn it, give me some respect and don't forget to visit my shop. I am eternally loyal to JeffL, and our lord and saviour, adum. My real name is Alexander Michael O'Neil, and I am the original Retyu. If you ever need to reach out to me for any reason you can find me on Discord as: chanwalrus (The name I use to score films!)

My characters are:
Retyu
Space Priest Gorthar

And three secret characters I probably PVP you on. Fight me!

Capturing

2021-06-09T22:37:48Z

Retyu:

The forcible taking of ships as bots is called '''capturing'''.

Before you can capture a ship you need to have [[Remote Control]] skill equal or exceeding the tech level of the ship. You also need to be able to use all of the gear equipped on the ship, for example if the ship has a tech 6 cloak equipped, you must have [[Cloaking]] 6.

To capture a ship, attack it as normal, but use a [[Radiation Damage|Radiation]] [[Weapons#Radiation_Weapons|weapon]] for the final shot that reduces its shield to zero. A circular explosion of small lines indicates that the ship is now disabled and ready to be captured. Shoot the disabled ship with a [[Prismatic Conversion]] or a [[Weapons#Energy Weapons|Corsair's Converter]] to turn the ship into a bot.

If the above method does not work, there are several possible reasons for failure.
* If the ship is immune to radiation weapons, the shields will never be reduced below zero.
* You might not have sufficient bot slots for the new bot (see [[Remote Control]]).
* The ship may not be "capturable" (see the list of [[Capturable Only|capturable ships]]).
* The ship may not have sufficient free space for the ''Prismatic Controlbot'' (size 3) fired from the [[Prismatic Conversion]]. Some AI ships have no extra hull space with their regular gear, so they can only be captured with a capacity augmenter equipped or with [[Modifications|miniaturized]] gear.

[[Fleet Commander Class|Radiation Experts]] can capture ships that are not capturable and capture above their RC level up to their skill in Radiation Expert, but cannot dock these "wild" bots.

"Capturable" is a slang term used to tell whether or not a certain ship can be possessed forcibly.
