How to Beat Hostile Faction Capital Ships

Defeat hostile faction capital ships in X4: Foundations: adapt strategies based on their weapon loadouts, use capital ships to draw fire, and target engines/tu.

Engaging 'Hostile Faction Capital Ships' (e.g., Argon Behemoths, Split Rattlesnakes) requires similar strategies to fighting Xenon capital ships, but with an added layer of complexity due to their advanced weaponry and often superior AI. Be aware of their specific weapon loadouts; some factions favor energy weapons, others projectiles. Use your own capital ships to draw fire while your fighters target their engines and turrets. Always check the ship's loadout in the encyclopedia before engaging.
