[edit] Overview

The Cargo Grappler steals metals (molybdenum, tritanium, duranium), food, med units, and supplies (in that order) from all enemy ships within 50 LY that you are at war with. Repair units, ordnance, and megacredits are not stolen.

  • It will also steal food from pods and bases within 50 LY. This is limited to 1000 food from a base (Host 212a).
  • It will steal as much as possible, until the enemy ships are empty or there is no more cargo room left to hold the stolen goods.
  • When over 500 kt of cargo is stolen from a ship, base, or pod then the experience of the ship increases by 10. This bonus experience is gained per unit stolen from.
  • Only Privateers can steal from pods and bases. All other races can use this device to steal from ships only.
  • Will not work on an enemy ship/base that you have no scan of.

[edit] Moment / Duration

  • This device works after movement.
  • Cargo Grapplers are processed in reverse score order (Host 212e).

[edit] Notes

  • The ship you stole from gets a message in the log.
    "Our cargo has been stolen!"
  • One of Privateer devices that does NOT affect allies (Attack switched off).
  • The med units are of little use for the privateers. You might jettison them next turn.
