The Dominatrix is a unit in the Vehicle Factory capable of capturing enemy units.

Capture works on a progress bar and dealing capture damage increases the progress along this bar, it is like a separate health bar. Every allyteam has independent capture progress for every unit so that you cannot steal a capture "kill" from an enemy, this is only in effect in FFA as teamgames only have 2 allyteams.

The maximum value of the capture bar is the cost of the unit. When the capture bar is full the enemy unit is captured. When this happens all capture progress from every allyteam is reset to 0 for the unit.

The capturer that got the last shot on the enemy will take control of the target (target will be controllable by the player who owns this capturer). The capturer now has a control line leading from it to the unit which is visible as long as your capturer controls the unit. It is visible to any enemy player who has vision of either your controller or the controlled unit, in this way they will know where either is hiding if they spot one.

While the controller has a unit under it's control it is unable to fire for 8 seconds. If the controller dies the captured unit instantly reverts to the _original_ team that owned it, i.e. the team that built it. If an enemy captures a unit that is controlled by one of your capturers, the capturers will lose control of the unit in exactly the same was as if the controlled unit had died.

Capturing a controller grants control of all its capturees as well; geometrically branching capture trees are possible (though unlikely).

Capture time remaining decreases linearly as the target unit takes physical damage; a unit at 0% health takes three times as much capture damage as one at full health.

If you capture a unit that was originally on your allyteam the control will decay after a few seconds and your capturer will be free to capture as normal.
