    Aye this will happen on random occasion. While I like the feature, I hate how it always warps in right as I am finishing off my target....In general it never arrives to make any difference :-(.

    I'd figure its a random event with science captains.

    It is the final Admiral ability you get. It is very rare. Has a 2.5% chance of happening and only when certain combat conditions are met.

    I've had it happen to me twice that I've noticed so far.

    It is cool.

    Its happened to me twice, then the ship vanished. That's right it comes in to help me then it leaves, and I have no idea why. Maybe I get close to defeating my enemy, or maybe the Captain doesn't like me. In any case it is a cool feature.

    Yes, twice that I can remember. As mentioned there are certain conditions to be met (25% hull strength or something to that effect) which means that often it appears (a) just as you finish up your enemy or (b) just as you're blowing up.

    It has happened to me several times. I think its a cool feature. Would be kinda of cooler if it was a ship from your admirals roster coming to help you out.

    I like this feature.
    I've had it happen alot more recently.

    Edit: Probably because i've been playing on Elite and getting good beatings.

    I think your hull needs to be below 50 percent for the ship to come help you out. It usually shows up just as I'm about to take a high yield hit to my hull and blow up. But the other night it saved my TRIBBLE. It drew fire long enough for me to activate "go down fighting" and the battle ship never knew what hit it...
