    If I remember I think most of my battles here in this map is won by capturing.
    ( My infamy, 700-850. Maybe it's cause of the recent update as this map is new to most of the player in my level or MAYBE NOT)
    How's yours?

    Do help me out with the weapons
    I play *shooter mk4
    *Fixer mk3
    *Defender mk3
    *Speeder mk3
    Should I focus (leveling up my weapons according to ship) specifically on one or two ship?

    I don't see capture winning here ever above 1700. I don't need to be that close to drop a LRM on the capture area to end that. If you are parking there, you are leaving your team one ship down in numbers which means it's only a matter of time before the other team is coming after you. I play a shooter mk4. I would suggest picking a ship and focusing your gold on upgrading weapons that you get, you like and are good with instead of upgrading every ship. For now at least.

    Hehe. Yes you're right, I wouldn't have gone 'one man army' to capture not without the team.
    I'm having trouble with that ^_^' . Now that you mentioned golds and upgrading weapons I think I know what I like. Thank you mate!

    Contrary to popular belief, capturing on Chillzone doesn't occur infrequently late game, but it isn't easy to pull off.

    Always look at the teams before you decide to rush capture on Chillzone. If you have at least FOUR yellow ships on your team, capture. If they have a fixer and you don't, capture (to draw them out of hiding). If they're hide-camping and have an uneven composition of ships on their team, capture.

    Don't forget to spam "Capture!" right before the game starts. If your team isn't spamming yes, or at least 2 ships aren't following you, don't bother. Always be the bigger man and stick with your team, even if your teammates are in the wrong.

    I did a one man capture (Fixer Mk 4, but rather speedy). No one from my team followed, but they caused such chaos that no enemy could stop my capture anyway. We were winning. They started spamming "Negative" and when they got in range they friendly-fired me until the match ended.

    I'm like, why? It's a win, you doofuses, even if it wasn't through total destruction. Not like the rewards are THAT different.

    Well it was a win, but they were probably resentful of Fixers from previous matches running off alone and dying when they needed heals. I know it's happened to me countless times.

    Yeah, I don't normally run off as fixer. But it was the ideal circumstances. The right spawn point, my speed (unfriends had no speeder), and my team survived in their entirety.

    Well Chill Zone is a very tricky map....Either u fight enemy team face to face or just run away and try to capture.
    No matter how many times u play in chill zone, enemies will always pop up on the other side of ice Berg. It's the only map, where enemy and friend's team spawn so close...Most of the time u have to fight, rather than capture in this map.

    But that very thing makes a speed-away capture possible. The teams are busy fighting too fast to stop you.

    Sometimes.

    Right...But it also depends on how good ur team is & if they can take on 4 vs 5 till u capture.
    Otherwise enemies will burn ur teammates and then come for you.

    I just did this yesterday lol. Our team was 4 speeders 1 shooter and the enemy had no speeders. Me and another speeder went to capture while the others fended off the enemy team. It worked out though, only one died by the time we captured. Seems like every other map is impossible to capture on though unless it's like 1 guy left that u don't want to find.

    As for rewards I usually get 1star -_-' with zero damage. With few damage even if it's less then 2500 I would get 3 stars.

    Lmao, I won a couple of game tanking the whole enemy team as Defender, they were so focused trying to pass my Napalm and Torpedoes that they completely didn't notice my team was capturing, ahahaha (once I didn't either :p)
