== Capturing the Unknown Artefact ==
So you found a convoy with the Unknown Artefact onboard, what now?
The best strategy to capture the artefact seems to be the following:
* Wing up, three or four commanders
* Set hyperspace destination to another system. This will help you bail out without the Anacondas mass-lock interfering
* Wait for the first group of escorts to jump out. You should be left with the T-9 and two Anacondas
* One commander prepares hatchbreaker limpets and gets ready to scoop the UA
* Another commanders takes down the shield on the T-9. This will trigger immediate response from the Anacondas
* While the scooper tries to get the hatch on the T-9, the other commanders distract the Anacondas. Hit and run tactics, draw them away from the T-9
* As soon as the T-9 is bagged, jump out. Keep in mind you are now wanted in the system and the UA carrier will get a fine whenever scanned
