It's hard to stop a t2 acu from capturing stuff and I've had tech stolen by thomas on the ladder multiple times, and you have as well by a t1 acu in my video that farms linked on the first page. Removing counterplay is not interesting in my opinion, especially when it is difficult to do.

Ah well i guess i will just keep pretending that capture doesnt exist then. Shame because it would be an interesting mechanic

No if i'm capturing something i don't want my units to kill it.

It's literally impossible to TML someone who's paying attention. That should be fixed too. TML should have the Vanilla SupCom MML tracking.

Seriously, if you want to capture something then it's a risk you'll take. And there's no reason that an opponent who pays attention should not be able to punish you for it.

Fixed in equilibrium:

Define int n=Blodir.balancerequest

Loop (0, x)

If player.name="Blodir" or "Obfuscation"
On.captureaction
SelfDestruct.input =/= 0
Else
SelfDestruct.input = 1

If x=n, End Loop

( Just wrote this on my phone, please excuse egregious ignorance of coding )
