Does SB mission "force surrender" work for Rebel ships? I...

Does SB mission "force surrender" work for Rebel ships? I just had a Falcon RGA my SB that was set to force a surrender with the FC as HYP. Surrender happens before ground attack, correct? Where did I screw up?

Thanks,
Rollo

Rollo-
Surrender happens BEFORE movement and RGA happens AFTER movement- that is why a Rebel ship can RGA after landing at the base.
Also he can use Hyp, HYp, hyp, etc. which won't match your FC with surrender.

"Force A Surrender: The starbase will force all starships with the same Friendly Code as the planet to surrender to the starbase. Starships without fuel will surrender no matter what the Friendly Codes are. Any starships that surrender in this fashion will have their orders reset to Exploration and waypoint set to their current location, but it's important to note that their Primary Enemy will remain unchanged. Towing or being towed does not effect this Order."

@Rollo: For Campaign-Mode you have to keep in mind Command Ship Group movement is before Force Surrender, so in that scenario a ship can arrive and be taken by Force Surrender in the same Turn... alternately it can mean escaping Force Surrender that normally would have occurred.

Also; "Starships that have the exact (case-sensitive) same Friendly Code as a planet will not fight that planet. The two exceptions are the Friendly Codes ATT and NUK, which do not prevent combat even if they match."

Thanks guys. I'm still learning the nuances of the game. Gonna have to chalk this one up to an expensive learning experience I think.

@Jason Williams: can a ship still hyperjump with different configurations of HYP?

Yes, other capitalizations of HYP, such as HyP, still allow the ship to hyperjump.

You can try a force surrender as they try to HYP out.

I do have a Falcon from this method.

Also I think you can try unload all ships and HYP.

Then you gain any cargo as compensation from the RGA.
