Really bad luck or bugged?

[Exekutor]

My main source of income is capping, I hadnt much trouble until now capping pirates. But the last two or three hours (ingame) of playing there bailed exactly ONE ship (xenon M). I killed more than 100 ships (mostly xenons from BBS-Mission, Ls and Ms, some pirate and killmission M3s), and only one little M bailed. Im using a Mamba Raider with B-PAC and IRE and had now trouble until now. You can cap ships (M5-M3) spawned from the BBS-Missions, right? Am I cursed or whats going on? Im really getting desperate

you cant cap the ships from Assassination missions, dont know about the xenon invasion ones thou.

but u could also be unlucky, after all, it is random so theres a chance the random isn't going ur way

Cycrow is right, capturing is all random.

Capturing the marksman of assassination missions is not possible. To capture his bodyguards was already difficult in X2 and that has not changed with X3.

Xenon ships are all capturable up to M3. Only the Xenon K from Taxi missions can be captured if your combat rank is high enough.

Xenon from XI mission do not bail.

Thanks for the info And what about the M6s from Killmissions? (or dont they exist anymore?)
So I should be able to cap em, these xenon buggers are really hard to cap ... are they easier to cap with IDs (that would be logical)? In X2 I almost only capped Xenons, but know it seems extremely difficult.

[jlehtone]

Assassinations do exist, but nothing bails. No M6 bails.

Never been a "capper" in X3. But flying through Xenon sector with FAA-equipped M1/M2 leaves blue ships in the wake.

you cant cap any m6's,theo nly capitol ships that you can cap is the K from the xenon taxi missions.

but only under very special circumstances
