I agree with you that the capture ability is somewhat overpowered. However, I did some experimenting with it in a single era GC, and notice a couple of things.
First, the ability can be used 4 times in a battle. If you are in a battle large enough to utilize all of those attempts, I can guarantee that you will lose at least half of what you capture as the faction you are fighting will attempt to destroy those ships. I would cap it at 3 uses per battle because the capture method is VERY imprecise to start with. More often then not, my capitals would destroy the ship before the shuttles can take it.
Second, as far as old canon goes, which the staff try to stick to as much as possible, making capitals non-capturable would break their dedication to canon. Even in new canon the rebels use boarding parties to take Star Destroyers.
As far as nerfing the ability further, I would make them an era specific technology, only available for eras 1-3 for the New Republic, as capturing ships became less and less common for them to do (iirc). I would give the imperials the ability in Era 4 and 5

Imperial Civil War Tech Support / Victory Conditions Pop-Up Issue
« on: April 20, 2018, 02:31:52 PM »
First off, I just want to say that this may not be a bug, but maybe just a timing issues with the victory conditions pop-up in the progressive GC The Art of War.
When playing as the Empire of the Hand in Art of War, I get Thrawn's opening dialogue box, but then no pop-up with the victory conditions. I've gotten as far as week 15 and it hasn't shown up. AM I missing something? Or does it just pop much later in the GC?
If it helps, I'm using the steam version of the game and mod.
Thanks!

I really like this idea.
As an avid player of the Total War Series, I have to say that rewards or 'secondary objectives' do add to the game itself. I remember these from Medieval II Total War, Shogun II, and Rome II (and their respective expansions).
Not only does it make you feel like you are dealing with the day-to-day issues of a conflict, but its adds addition depth to a very well detailed and polished mod.

Hi! I'm new here (and to modding in general) and I have to say this is one of the most polished mods I've ever played! I downloaded 2.1 just last night and I am really enjoying it so far!
Is there a place to discuss GC strategies on this forum? I find it helpful to bounce ideas off of fellow players often.

Imperial Civil War Tech Support / 2.1 Patch Downloading as Image?
« on: June 08, 2017, 10:52:32 PM »
I'm having an odd issue in downloading the patch for 2.1. When downloading it form Moddb, it downloads as an image, rather than a zip file. I've done some digging, but I have yet to figure out why I have this issue. Is there another place where I can download the patch to see if the issue is isolated to the one site?
I'm very new to modding, so I am learning a fair bit as I go, so any suggestions would be appreciated!
