Out of all the SW mods for Sins I feel Ascendency does the best job of capturing the Star Wars feel by allowing for a wide range of play styles. Part of what continually draws me to the mod is the ability of the game to let me recreate many scenarios from the books/comics. In almost every storyline from courtship of Princess Leia through the second galactic civil war, the NR fielded captured and built imperial tech (ISD I, II, and SSD) - it was a very cool aspect to be able to recreate that in the mod.
That being said, the previous mechanic was broken. It was easier to capture capitals then cruisers and frigates (due to durability) - not ideal.
I propose a solution:
Change the MC-80 ability to be like the mole miners AND change the capture mechanic to only be available on the alliance transport (remove it from the ferret). I would do the same for the remenant. The micro mechanic is much more satisfying with the mole miners and mu scouts. I think the change to the transport would add another layer - if you want to go heavy capture play style, you have to substitute shooting supply with transports. It would give a reason to include transports in fleets and provide more fleet diversity. I think it would also be an awesome mechanic, consistent with other game mechanics, and be fund and awesome.
