Capturing.....

When I was playing FleetOps this morning bout 1:30 am (central). Anywho, I was playing as the sneaky Romulans against 6 medium AI and 1 allie. Those 6 AI were giving me a beatin. Well anywho, I just happened to capture a federation construction ship. (for all those who try to capture out there, it aint easy, without the borg) But the bad thing of it was that I captured it in the enemys base. Well fortunitely they didn't see me. I got to thinkin when I was building a fed base inside there base. Since I was the rommies and I did build a fed base, I was wondering if the captured race should get a special ability from the race that you are playing. For instance, if you are the rommies and you capture a fed construction ship and build a base of that race, that all the ships should be equiped with a cloaking device (after you build a fed base of course).

You mean both races share technology or only the cloaking ability? It would take some major tweaking to make it balanced if this was thrown in.

Perhaps having the ability to add technology to ships you capture would work but that would also probbably throw out the ballance

i like the idea as well.. like the other one that captured ships of the borg would be stronger than the normal vessels... maybe if that could be worked out for all races, like captured ships of the borg gettin stronger or regenerating, roms could be cloakable or somthing, dominion could get faster firing rate and stuff like that... there could be a balance in that way... but it would be just a lil detail... and too much work for that i guess..

well maby make it so thay need to be upgraded to add thes abilatys and make it take a long time.
this will keep the pawer ballance and make it real adampting tecnalges to alean ships will have prrobloms.

It was just a suggestion. I'm not say you have to do this but it would be a nice little detail. Maybe in Fleet Operations 4.
