Crew Insurection question

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.

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.
