i enjoy this mode when i’m captain ;)wt heh, I have a very solid shield ship capable of taking some good damage before even hurting my hull.
Now the only thing i dislike is how it’s randomly chosen. which of course it has to be, but… Not when it picks the weakest link so to say or someone who is going to just fly interceptor and one missile will utterly destroy them lol.
An interceptor when piloted with skill, is immesurably harder to kill than a guard frigate or command fighter.

Yup, I also prefer flying interceptor, it’s easier to protect yourself from mass plasma arc and suicide modules. Also, you still do more damage with your guns than any other ship besides sniper frigates.
The team that pushes with their captain tends to win turtle matches; they have more room to maneuver and focus from different sides, while having the faster kill rate due to spawn distances. Just know when to pull back; further reason why inty cap helps. There’s already previous posts about pub players complaining about turtling, officialplayer you should check them out and maybe learn a few tricks.
And the secret to not getting one shotted as an inty captain… emergency shield… give it a try 
Honestly, if a sniper can hit me going 700m/s and twisting all over the place… he deserves the kill.
Combat Rec. is besides domination my favorite mode.
I Like being captain and I also enjoy to get as many kills as possible. In T3 many battles are like a 12 min Team Deathmatch, which can be fun, too.
There is only one flaw in this mode: If the captain has a DC (willingly or not), you might be chosen to be the new captain. This ruined lots of matches, in the heat of battle you are
surely not checking all 30 secs. if you are the new captain. Last time this happend to me I was able to escape, since I was wondering why my Inty got focused by 8+ enemies, while not being in the center of the battlefield. This should be fixed. Like a flashing warning for 3 secs:
Grats! You are the new captain, now back off and regroup!
Zap is a good pilot, had him as captain and i think killed him as captain once, and it wasnt easy. I had to use some cheesy tactic to get him.
On the off side though I had an interesting captain kill last night.
I had a warp gate up and the module renewed before the old gate dissapeared, captain was almost dead, so I happened to warp in right on top of him from my warp gate, hit him with octopus missiles, hit him twice with hail plasma, kill him, turn around and then use my refreshed warp to run away. Was kinda funny.
double warp gated to enemy cap from spawn to spawn. didn’t plan on it - was just following another engineer infront of me. came out of warp right beside the cap with only his hulls left - point blank torp sealed the deal
they should give captain killin’ engineers a medal. shame didn’t get that one on video.

Ah, but Engineer kills on captains is a completely viable and, I dare say, frequent occurrence. No need to encourage more people to do it. ;]
