Hijacked Starships
I have recently discovered that one of the myriad forms that sabotage can take in the game is through the theft of ships. Personally, I find it a delightful addition for the novelty value alone. By my lights, it hearkens back to many a great moment in the series in which a stolen starship plays a pivotal role in the course of Galactic events.
My enthusiasm notwithstanding, however, I am curious as to whether anyone on these forums distributes their espionage priorities such as to gain ships in this manner and, if so, how (if at all) are said ships then employed?

that depends on the advantage of the hijacked ship.
for example the cardassian battle ships survive normally orbital fire better than romulan ships do, in such a case I keep the ship.
on the other hand a cardassian destroyer don't really fit to the romulan cloakec destroyer fleets so I scrap them.
Cloakable scouts I keep always, especially if I play a major which lacks the cloaking technology.

Re:
Hm. Good to know. I didnt know that. However, i usually play Rom, so not many stolen ship i can use, sometimes play other major then i keep the cloakable ships, or stronger than mine ships.Badbru wrote: Yes, by making sure you have some in visable range.

Anyone had to battle their own hijacked ships? Anyone had to battle their own hijacked ships with ships you've hijacked yourself?

Yes and yes. The latter situation is especially surreal when it happens.

Re: Hijacked Starships
I see how this could happen, but not to me because i always sell the hijacked ships for scrap; they just ruin the feng shui of my fleet; and that's not good for morale.brianmcfa wrote:Anyone had to battle their own hijacked ships?

Re: Hijacked Starships
The real test is when you battle one on one with identical ships.
