Default Re: To Suicide Junkie

Yeah, I really needed to capture some ship's Tech, and I didn't have comparatively powerful enough ships to do it by "duelling" or ambush.

But I could lurk hidden near a few Engine Destroying Mines in a Warp Point trade lane and scavenge the cripples after a few Organic Missiles. Regular mines would do more damage to those very components that I need to HighJack: EDMs do a greater proportion of damage to the engines, which I don't need, and of course hobble his supply to fire remaining weapons and power shields.

I know this stragedy is only going to work for a short time before the Sweepers put a stop to it, but without some way to get scavenged Tech at that point in the game, I was going to be totally ineffective later, and all I needed was a ship or three.
