do platforms have capture value? (meaning can they cap planets)
because plat spamming is a major annoyance. i try to hold a planet and someone in a engineer appears at the planet im building and just starts building as many plats as they can! arnt plats designed to be DEFENSIVE?
makes no gameplay sense if they have capture value. its a non-mobile and (most likely robotic) weapon/sensor platform. how does it even have the abilty to capture anything?
(this is only a major problem in Scenario)

I don't think they have capture point values, but don't quote me on that. It wouldn't make sense anyway or a Command stat could easily bomb, and then build plats around the planet to cap.

Jump in to an extractor, load up a few tractor beams and laugh.

Platforms do have capture value I am reasonably sure.

Are they fixed to have capture value, or to not have capture value?

Err? Why should platform not have capture value?
In Terra Nova case, if it is 1 vs 1, there are several ways to counter:
- Build the same number of platform. Who controls planet will eventually win thanks to planet infantry and/or offense structure
- Tractor either them away from planet or hit planet.

Then it makes no sense if planet attacks robotic and immobile objects that don't pose any threat to the planet itself.
If immobile and robotic platform will be contributing zero value in planet capture, why do mobile and mortal station still not contribute aything in planet capture?
What is tractor beam for? There is only one bug with it: it does not drain much energy but when the tractoring platform is destroyed, suddenly the ship loses most of its energy. And who has high latency & package drop would not tractor them far during jumping.
Since the change has been implemented, it shall make engineer/command dread less efficient in both scenario and hydra. Command Station will be half useful as it was.

Sorry, as this is a team game, 1 vs 1s are simply not allowed. Where is your team mate? Why do you not have one? Go find one, and fast.
You are not meant to capture planets solo.
You are not meant to fight vs ships solo.
You are not meant to target ships solo.
So you should never, therefore, be caught in a 1 vs 1, as this is not the intended use of this product, and borderlines on an infraction of the RoC.
Thank You.

The # of plats allowed to be built needs to be increased.
