Hi, all! Can somebody explain the rules of ship capture games in details? I have played them quite a few times but still feel confused sometimes. For example, what is camping? Why is a timer counting down and asking me to take off?

Sure thing, mate!

The point of the game is to fill your "capture meters". This is located at the top of the screen. When a team captures a carrier, the capture meter will go completely on that team's side.

When you land on a carrier, you begin "capturing it". But to prevent people from camping the entire time, a timer is set in place. Let the timer run out and you'll automatically "crash". It's a function that keeps the game fair (though if you're clever, you'll figure out how to get past the timer and stay on a carrier the entire map).


So yeah! Basically, both teams are seeking control of each carrier. Capture both and your team wins.

Like Slendy says... What confused the bejezus outta me when I first started was the sliders. Look underneath the chat window. There are 2 bars there that will give you the status of the boats. When you land and the timer starts ticking, look at the slider. When it gets to blue, you've captured that carrier. I never saw/noticed them until I had been playing for a long time.

Another tip... If you have captured the carrier (it blue on the map and the slider is in the blue) you can put on your brakes and you're immune to bullets (not bombs or tank shells). By the way, this is true for any blue base or carrier.. Brakes=immunity

Roger! Then why are players equiped with bombs? Are they used to attack enemies on the deck? How do people kill enemies hiding inside?

The bombs are basically useless for this game. You can drop them on guys with brakes on though. Sometimes you can kill a plane inside with a bomb too. The best way to kill someone inside is to come in low and slow as if you're landing inside and blast away. If they've captured the boat and have brakes on its useless.

Another tip... If you're inside and someone uses the technique above to get you, remember to chute when they get close and at least you may crash them.

The bomb used to b used to get snipers but thankfully Z fixed that problem. Now we use the to get tanks(if theree r any) or if u place the bomb just right. I can destroy the plane inside with it while u r above it. Its hard to do though. I always drop the bomb and race to the carriers. Then fight it out from there.

Heres another tip: the top slider always inticates the West ship. Also note that friend or foe's names will appear on your screen if they are on the carrier. Even if they are accross the whole map and out of normal "radar" range.

To stay on carrier past the timer, power up at about 29 sec allow wheels to come off deck cut power immediately drop to deck, turn around do the same again, I call it hop and skip, make sure you have enough deck run or you overshoot, difficult to do inside though.
