Hell stealing a capship might be the fastest way to build a capship. It would make the hauling more efficient.

I'd love to see a station that's hard to find that can do up false paperwork on it, making it "yours" so you can get insurance on it.

It'd have to be deep out in a fogged sector hundred km or so should suffice, and it'd have to cost alot.

Stolen capships should probably trigger the strike force at most stations, and in nation space. Corvus wouldn't care, neither would Xang Xi I suppose.

Perhaps the security system of the stolen CapShip means it's location beacon stays active only to the original owner. As in, it's location will always stay up-to-date in their "Inventory". Stealing it back to recover it, or blowing it up to spawn a new one, might be good options. Perhaps the insurance company might even be so good as to provide some support ships for the attempt....
