Capture the Flag matches can be best described as "Warsong Gulch" in space, although some matches, like this one, only have 1 flag in the center of the battlefield. As would be expected, fast ships like the TIE Interceptor are preferred for flag running, which is the quickest way to win one of these (because sometimes the AI decides to take the long way around to the goal spheres), and also for intercepting enemy flag carriers. The other ships work best for running interference or distraction.
