Questions about Station Capturing

posted on August 23rd, 2011, 9:45 pm

Well, I've been looking over a few Fleet Ops commentaries you've got, and in one, I saw the Borg capture a Klingon starbase. It didn't really do much after that, but I also saw them capture a Fed constructor in a different match, and just before the video ended, the Fed constructor began building an Adaption Matrix.

This got me thinking... What happens if one faction captures a yard from another faction? Example: Let's say the Borg take an Antares Yard from the Feds (I've absorbed a lot of lingo through osmosis of videos). Specifically what I want to know is:
1- Can Borg ships use the Antares Yard to repair, as if the Borg ship was a normal Fed ship?
2- Can the Borg queue up Fed ships, or Borg ships? What is the extent of that?
3- Let's say the Borg have also taken over... a KBQ from the Klingons. Can that KBQ use the Antares Yard to repair, or can it only repair assimilated Fed ships?

The only thing that you can do with shipyards captured by the borg is to repair ships captured which are not borg.  There is currently no mixed tech option for the borg.  Borg ships cannot  repair at the yards, they just regenerate on their own.  Theres a borg redo being done so we may see some change to this when the new patch comes out

Captured shipyards can only repair unless captured by the same empire that builds them, no yard discriminates between race when it comes to repairs.

Borg ships cannot  repair at the yards, they just regenerate on their own.

Assimilated ones can, the Adaption Matrix didn't lose the repair yard function.
