Hull Plans - What can you do?

Is the only way to gain hull plans from other races via pods or can you
capture a ship and somehow get them that way?

Thanks!

Yes, if the plans are in ship memory they will stay during the takeover
(hostile or friendly), unless they are plans of races which can not be
kept by the new owner (e.g Xtal plans for non Xtals, Bot plans for
non-Bots and such).

You can also get them transfered from (ally) ship to ship.

I believe you can also get them if you get a base which has an alien
plan stored.

How about the case where there are no hull plans in the ship, but you
want the ship's plans itself. Example: I capture an EE ship as a
Lizard player and want to have my race analyze its hull and start
making more of them. Can this be done?

Thanks!

The only way to get a shipplan from a captured ship that I know of, is the
use of a Hacker Droid (Set the captured ship as tow target for the ship with
the hacker droid and set the device on)

You can also use the spy mission "Steal Ship Plans" on a race, but have to
have a ship of your own close to one of the selected race (60 Ly I belive,
but I´m not sure)

You need a hacker droid to get the plans from an alien ship.

That is the only way. Otherwise you're stuck with the alien ship and will
never be able to build it on your own.
