5.4 Stealing (Salvaging) enemy ships, continued

Cloaked escorts hide the attack

Step 4. Moving in for the kill/Capture.

A. Tell the supporting fleets to go to 'neutral' tactics, so they won't destroy the ship you want to capture.

B. If the target ship attacks your fleet make sure you've got a support ship nearby to assist. Let him attack your fleet while you get the salvage team in action.

C. Nominate the ship to capture by selecting the salvage team, then pick the target by left clicking on it (the cursor will change to a lightning bolt).

D. Select one of the escorts (cloak ships) and hit the 'z' key to commence cloaking, only cloak one at a time.

Note: The salvage ship moves faster than the cloak ships so make sure they don't move outside the cloak field.

In for the kill
