Act 2 - Capturing Marauders

an email received during Act 2 offers a reward for capturing a marauder. I accomplished this after much effort and annoyance, but nothing happened after I took the captured Marauder corvette to base. the ship just disappeared. I browsed thru the walkthru and didnt see anything there about this goal (although I didnt look to deeply to avoid spoilers).

is this a case of an intended mission that was dropped or never implemented in the final game?

It's just a stupid e-mail.You can't capture marauders.

yes you can. disrupt the ship, dock to it, and take it home. it will fight you when it "wakes up", which makes maneuvering annoying, but once you go into LDS homeward bound it's yours. works with ships up to corvette size at least, if you are in a tug. alas, all for nothing...

That's what I got too; nothing happens, right?


You live and you learn; some just choose not to.

as far as I can tell. you can even see the captured ship going into the base with you in the docking scene, then it just completely disappears from the game. you dont even get some recycling points. *sigh*

I wonder if you have to take the captured ship to someone in particular, maybe the sender of the email. that sounds like too much work though, specially since there is no mention on the walkthru. given that the mission numbers in the walkthru skip, I think this marauder capture mission was one that got scrapped by the designers before publishing, and they forgot to remove the email from the game.

lol
-i actually tried that once:
it went something like this;
disrupt his ship; dock to him; fly a bit:
he wakes up! -begins firing missiles at me;
I then disrupt him again; etc., etc.
-in the end his ship got destroyed from the disruptions...[V]

-but yes; I'm pretty sure the mission got scrapped...
too bad, tho.
