Incarceration Beam

[edit] Overview

This ship device of the UEA and The Aczanny Pyramids will take all the enemy crew, troops and colonists from an enemy ship and put them into a prison pod that is placed in an empty pod bay.

Each incarceration beam can only affect one enemy ship.
You don't have to target the enemy ship, just be at exactly the same point.
The enemy ship's system damage must be equal or greater than 70%.
The ship using this device must have an empty pod bay.
Works even if your resource points are used up (from real game, just incarcerated three Dark Wing G with 350% excess in allowed RP points, GFM GToeroe)

Set ship to "do not Attack Disabled" this gives you some greater odds at retrieving crew prisoners, since there are no prisoners to be captured in a wreckage pod
If the disabled ship has repaired itself above the threshold of 70% but not enough to be placed back into combat, you can beam over enough repair units to initiate another attack in efforts of creating enough damage to capture the crew.
Be sure to pick appropriate weapons For the ships attempting to perform this function. I.E. no Disrupters.
You will love second wave Enforcers with a Super Laser. Unless it is not hit by a monster wing or several other super weapon hits it knocks out and incarcerates any ship.
An incarceration pod can hold any amount of personnel. So do not wonder if you incarcerates Cubes and other ships with huge guest quarters

How is the target ship determined if there are multiple possible targets? - if one ship with the device disables 2 enemy ships beyond 70% damage, then both crew are placed in pods. if your ship has only 2 pod bays and you disable 3 enemy ships,then i dont know how it is selected. but perhaps it can combine multiple crews into a single pod if there is still space like the native dust off device can do- (untested)--protomatter 19:39, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Nope, each incarceration beam ship can only imprison the crew of one ship. (I'm playing them)Jochen 20:55, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
