TEC and Advent can capture neutral or enemy extractors in uncolonizable gravwells with their colony ships. Vasari use their scout ship. If you're referring to an enemy planet's extractors, you will first have to destroy the planet and blow up the extractors on its asteroids. Then you can use the normal procedure of ordering extractors from the logistics tab once you have colonized the planet for your faction.

you can only steal neutral extractors in plasma storms gas giants or asteroid belts Vasari use their scout ships to capture them advent and TEC use colony ships. if you want to take over extractors from an enemy planet, you will first have to bomb the planet, colonize it, kil the enemy extractors and build your own

neutral extractors cannot be destroyed only captured, and are superior to regular extractors, so capture them if you can for a major income boost "dont let the enemy have them either!!!!!"

Hi Mazuo and Shadow_of_Light, i mean in an asteroid belt!, now i'm playing with vasari race(green cross sign) , i known that the capital ship to colonize is jarrasul evacuator or jarun migrator frigate, but when i try to attack the enemy extractors on asteroid belt, game say: target is currently invulnerable(normal, as asteroid belt can`t be destroyed), if i choice colonize it says that i must use it only in neutral ssytems, what i'm doing wrong?, but also it says that can be captured, but how?

OK, reading in full i see that i need a scout ship, i will try it.

Thanks again to both for the answers.

Good luck.

Yes, your scout ship will have the ability to capture those extractors

Ok, solution found, as i build mostly capital ships or jarrasul evacuator to build star bases i never have acces to capture extractors, now i have builded a jikara navigator and it have the option of capture extractors.

Thanks again for let me found the solution, the printed game manual is good, but don't tell nothing about that matter.

Good luck

Vasari use their scouts to capture neutral extractors, also it is the Capture neutral extractor ability that captures neutral extracotrs..... Colonize only .. as the name suggest.. colonizes

so as an

Advent, use a Missionary vessel "colony ship variant" it has both colonize and capture neutral extractor ability

TEC, use a Colony ship it has both colonize and capture neutral extractor ability

Vasari, use a SCOUT it has both auto-scout ability and capture neutral extractor

becuase scouts are pretty mobile vasari tend to capture neutral extractors pretty fast

so again, the only ship that has capture neutral extractor ability for the vasari are SCOUTS
