Capturing works in non-HQ mode, it means you may capture only non-HQ object.
It is more intresting than capturing whole system at once and availability always to have starting point for faction representatives.
NY HQ List:
Baltimore Shipyard - Deep Space Engineering HQ
Battleship Missouri - Liberty Navy HQ
Buffalo - Liberty Rogues HQ
Detroit Munitions - Ageira HQ
Fort Bush - Liberty Police, Inc. HQ
Newark Station - Interspace Commerce HQ
Trenton Outpost - Universal Shipping HQ
I've did the list of HQ long time ago so at NY seems to be you may capture only Rochester - but try, maybe others works too, if not - tell me.
Think i have missed something with HQs so you may tell me which base must be of aporpriate faction HQ and why.

If there's a lot of shield fuel and repair commodities on the base it can take 10 or 20 or 30 battleships pounding on a base to do any reasonable damage. The shield keeps out most of it. 5 battleships or so don't have a chance of doing more damage than is repaired. So if there is a lot of repair commodities and shield fuel, it's going to take a whole lot to take a base down. And bases do 3 checks every tick per upgrade level. So a level 4 base will repair 12 times each tick. You might want to bring an armada or three

EDIT: No. It's not HQ - i've checked now. So wird.
Been able to take over Fort Albi, Montpellier (similar bases), stationary GRN Battleships so far (Grenouille, La Riche, the one at the Dauphine gate in Languedoc), Quillan and a good amount of weapon platforms. Failed to take over Cordes and Nimes, despite destroying station parts. None of those are HQ stations.
Quick edit: Nimes became a Navy base, any clue why?
