I did try to give and trade mothballed ship. They stay mothballed

If your're interested in playing around with this, might I suggest Geo's Awakening scenario. There are mothballed ships for you to take. The boarding parties work fine, but you have to use a spaceyard to unmothball.

All this talk made me recently retry that scenario -- lots of fun

Although slightly off the subject, an Alliegence Subverter works against a mothballed ship (just been victim of that, dagnabit!)

Another (sad) slightly OT post; the Crew ConVersion damage type doesn't work on troop weapons. *snif* And I had such high hopes for my mod. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Just take it back with boarding parties, unless thay had some way of unmothballing it and flew off with it. Mothballed, it's harmless.

Yup, did try, doesn't seem to work. Also, it seems that you cannot target specifically a mothballed ship with Crew Insurection, unless you have a Partnership treaty with the victim (then you can see the mothballed ship).
So, it seems that mothballing a ship prevents capture via intel projects, whether the ship is on a planet or not.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Uh, isn't it just that without _scanners_, you can't tell if a ship is mothballed or not?

True, you can't know if the victim has its ship mothballed or not, even with Partnership (don't know if you can tell with Long Range Scanners). But still, you can target a ship, even if mothballed.
