Capturing Starbases

June 8, 2015 4:52:49 PM from Galactic Civilizations III ForumsGalactic Civilizations III Forums

Will it ever be possible to capture & take-over enemy starbases?  It seems unreasonable that we can destroy them, but can't capture them.

In the June 5th dev stream, Paul said we might eventually be able to culture flip starbases.

I would like to see a special ops or invasion mechanic to capture a star base myself.

Attack a starbase with a fleet and a troop transport or two. Once it's HP is down to a certain level if your transport hasn't been blown up have it work like a land invasion mechanic. I like that. Capturing starbases is a good idea.

Actually, they are    Even my wife is starting to joke with me "You want me to hold that for you, I don't think your arms are long enough to read that!" 

All good my friend, all good.

I agree.  What I really dislike is taking over a planet and then they surrender to another civ while the tactical starbase you wanted goes to another civ.

That would be a start.

So would making it so that the AI can't plop down a starbase in your ZOC. That's really annoying, given how the only way to get rid of it is to declare war and blow it up.
