[Stealth nerf?] Antimatter recharger

Unless I'm just dreaming, I could have sworn that the antimatter recharger would pretty much recharge the antimatter on anything (the description always said "capships," but that description was wrong).  Can anyone tell me I'm wrong on this?

At any rate, was playing Advent today, and now the thing only works on capships.  Has there been a stealth nerf?

It has only worked on ships never buildings. Its been in code files since I started messing with them (Sins Vanilla is where I started)

Well if you are sure about buildings, I won't argue with you unless someone else says different.  But I'm over 99% sure it used to work on ALL ships (i.e. cruisers), but now it doesn't.  Can anyone confirm whether it used to work on non-capships?  Don't just tell me what the docs or tooltips say - I know what that stuff says.  What I'm saying is, I'm 99% sure that it used to work on stuff outside what the tooltips and docs said.  It used to work on all type of ships.

It's not possible to actually differentiate between frigates and cruisers that way; they're all frigates to the game. Likely the really low target count that you're seeing.

The Recharger only ever recharged frigates. What you might have witnessed was the Recharger giving antimatter to Disciples, which used Transfer Antimatter on a structure (so you could indirectly transfer antimatter from the Recharger to other structures via Disciples). Problem with that is that the Disciple's Transfer Antimatter requires 100 AM to use in order to donate (I think) 25 AM over 5 seconds.

Well in the game I'm playing now, I can only get the antimatter recharger to recharge capships.  It won't recharge frigs or cruisers.  Go figure.
