How would this apply to spec refs capped by belters nerve gas? Diff situation than GA's but a similar idea.

Also, capped IC bases are not galvable, but is that because they are IC or heavy?

As for RP, I'm pretty sure that the properties are gained when the probe is dropped, so bios dropping a RP would just be the most wonderfull thing ever. That said, I never tested it.

IC Ops have the heavy base modifier so AB weapons hurt thier hull less then it would for minor base or lt base. GigaCorp ops seem easy because they have the lt base modifier and ab weapons hurt thier base hull a lot more, however both bases have the same amount of hull (although IC has station hull perk so it's stronger if owned by IC).

However as far as techbases go then A Giga Exp and an IC Exp capped by Giga have the same amount of hull.

And RP's and beacons will only pickup people in the same team as the person who dropped them.

Spec refs capped by belters have the same hull and ga as they do for Giga and Dreg but because Giga spec refs are lt they are easier to kill regardless of who owns ref (except IC, GT and TF who have station hull perks) IC capped bases are not galvable because they are Heavy.

They will use your faction GAs. Only if you cap a dreg base, you get a 11% scanrange bonus. (Scanrange GA nerfs ship and base scanrange, this was done to nerf ships only.)

Bases don't loose major/lt/minor base hull/shields, that demands on the base, not on the one who owns it.

Vlymoxyd wrote:QUOTE (Vlymoxyd @ Feb 5 2009, 03:40 AM) I'd also extend the question to probes. When bios steal a RP and drops it, is it an "IC" or a "Bios" RP?

It will be a BIOS RP.

Thanks for the answear.

And when you cap an IC techbase your miners can unload at it. That's a station dependant attribute, not faction.

Think of it this way.

Global Attrubutes.

Object Stats.

Two different things. They both stay the same when capping things, you don't gain THEIR Global Attrubutes, but that Object is still that object. Capture a Lt Base of Giga, you have a giga lt base. They have station hull GA, you don't. That base DOESN'T get it.

AFAIK It's a simple as that.
