Capturing player owned capship

To capture a player owned capship

-owner must not be docked in ship
-shields must be kept dropped
-turrets must be disabled / gunners killed
-health must be below 10%
-conqueror must sit in the docking bay for 30s
-If the conqueror already a capship of same category, he will have another one, with no limit on owning captured capships.

captured capships have no insurance.
enduring title remains with owner.
cargo bay content and main gun equipment are transferred to conqueror,
specific turrets equipment are not transferred - conqueror get only basic neutron turrets

But I say let the turrets the owner has set be the ships configuration.

And you can't dock a captured cap ship. Best you can do is park it in a sector somewhere.

sounds great,

Maybe could we add no premium sub requirement to fly a captured capship if you can never dock it?

I got a question: Once captured, is the original owner allowed to run an insurance mission and get a replacement. Or do they have to wait for the capital ship to die?

maybe not the best analog, but don't some insurance companies rent you out a car once you fill out the paperwork? Unless there were reasonable in-game mechanics to repossess your capital ship, then that capship is basically not yours anymore.

...On the other hand, stolen capsships have repo men going after thekinda sounds a little fun...m

Itd fucking suck if you lost your capship permanently.

Yeah it would. This would cause more ship captains to go down with their ship, rather than chance losing their capship for a period of time.
