Crash Testing Capac

Crash Testing Capac is the 14th episode of Assertive Acquisitions. After defeating the drone station, Splitsie, Capac, and TFE have finally time to restock ice and ores and build new utility ships. 
TFE successfully tugs the defeated ASSERT station to the moon base; he wants to turn it into a deployable mining base later. As they go mining in the neighbourhood they reminisce how Capac got pinned down in the mine by railgun fire last episode. 
Capac plans to build a dedicated capture and boarding vessel after refurbishing his recently damaged miner. TFE sprinkles burning drone debris over the moon base. Splitsie builds a larger mining ship and calls it the JuGG (from JGG, jolly green giant). TFE wastes five minutes putting the letters "ASTEROID FACILITY" on his repaired captured base. Meanwhile, Capac has built his large-grid boarding tug with a daringly exposed (but stylish looking) hydrogen tank, satellite dish, and cargo space for salvage. 
Splitsie uses the JuGG to mine much needed ice and then invites the others to raid a passing cargo ship. Capac almost crashes into Splitsie while they evade a wave of defensive drones. Capac's Paprika is soon left drifting with drained batteries and he gets killed while trying to board the cargo ship using his jetpack. 
After a long battle, TFE manages to maglock the cargo ship and Capac and Splitsie board it and hack it. (And apparently, the NPC ship hacked Splitsie's connector in return!) TFE's H-Tram returns and runs out of hydrogen — inches away from his hangar, and TFE realises he has been flying a hole-riddled wreck. 
Against Splitsie's expectations, Capac pilots and lands the captured ship with ease -- until suddenly the game crashes. They lose a minute, and Capac lands their first "assertively acquired" cargo ship humbly a second time. They also have looted their first ASSERT thrusters!
