Capturing starbase with assault pod

Post by gravyten »

I captured one and it exploded. In the original game could you capture a stat base before invading planet? Was kind of hopping I could capture it and leave infrastructure in place

This was a issue back a ways. Was supposed to be fixed. Try capturing another base and see what happens. Then report it in the tech sub forum....GP

From tooltips, I interpret that the ship will be enlisted if it is not higher tech or larger size than I can build, otherwise, it will be scrapped by disassembling it at a base for tech and resources.

It would not be the first time a game execution of a drop-down option and the UI display of the description for that option do not match.
