asteroids

November 16, 2008 3:12:22 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

How can i capture asteroids? I cant seem to locate any answers on the forums and the manual is no help. I usually play TEC and I Have tried a an akkan capital ship and a frigate that can colonize, tho very slowly, but I cant find a way to capture an asteroid . The screen says they're invulnerable, but can be captured, but how?

if your talking about the resource asteroids, you have to send a colony ship and use the "Capture Extractor" ability to capture them

The TEC's ability is called "Crew extractor" it does the same thing as "Capture Extractor", is that ability there?

For Advent and TEC the colony frigates have the ability to capture neutral extractors. Vasari use their scouts for the job. The 3 special cap ships can only on colonizable planets and asteroids. I got confused, too.
