Tow Capture

Starships controlled by races with this advantage active can perform a Tow Capture on fuelless starships by simply locking a tow beam on them. It is not necessary for the towing starship to move. This advantage works properly in a Debris Disk.

This advantage is enabled by default, but can be disabled. The Try to tow mission triggers this advantage, but a starship can use the Friendly Code NBR to keep the capture from occurring.

If the towing starship has at least 2 crew, the capture will occur. The crew of the captured starship that does not change allegiance will be jettisoned into space. The normal percentage of crew that will change allegiance is as follows:

Race	Percent of Crew Changing Allegiance
Colonies	70%
Empire	40%
Federation	90%
Privateers	100%

This advantage is worth 30 advantage points and is available to players of:

• The Crystal Confederation
• The Privateer Bands
