Capture Ships

[Commander G2]

The combat engine considers certain weapons to not be weapons for purposes of closing with the enemy. You will find the same problem with creating a pure Point Defense ship. It will break formation and hide in the corner. Add a standard damage weapon to make sure it closes. I do not know if anyone has repeated the PDC test with other specialty weapons such as shield depleters, engine disrupts, etc. I have only encountered the problem with PDCs myself.
