Suggestion: Make fabs automatically reclaim enemy mexes

Wouldn't capturing go against the games lore as it is claimed to be 'Annihilate everything'?

-Bastian Forge

Well the lore doesn't say you must literally annihilate everything and not capture things. Besides, game play > lore.

I'd really like capturing, but I'd like it to be slower than reclaiming. (Like in Supcom)

slower than reclaiming
faster than reclaiming + rebuilt

I think capturing anything would be a better feature and used more.

How often are engineers in front of enemy buildings that don't shoot back? I really can't remember many occasisions where that kind of thing even happened.

+1 for this idea

On the subject of capturing:
I think it wouldn't be used much for normal fights (as Cola mentioned) but it would be awesome in the late game with orbital fabbers. Just imagine capturing enemy halleys with your orbital fabbers! But it could be overpowered, because you could capture enemy turrets from the orbital layer (on the other hand, it is easy to defend against orbital reclaiming...)

plz make a mod

um... all the time??

Must not be playing very high level players, even the ai defends most everything they can.

I'm talking about mex... and practically no one defends those at game start. Well, they shouldn't. its best to be offensive- who cares if you lose an expansion. You either get it back or get another.

I don't think one building warrants a completely new (capturing) mechanic.

what rank are you, just curious.

Yeah I think capturing mex while doing an auto build sounds good, even orbitals potential capture an enemy com could be cool
