How the heck do I steal an outpost?

[nas1m]

Can somebody help me out?
I can find no trace of it in the various deals/political screens (all tutorial stages unlocked) .

Hoping the game will show you the answer, so just the basics:

1) Go to the outpost you want to steal.
2) Click on Hostile Actions.

What do you see?

First you have to destroy all of the defensive fleets, and then you can capture it.   Make sure you have security goons in force!

Problem is likely that the Hostile Actions did not display an option to do this. Which in turn is likely related to some of Chris' defensive armadas still being present . I assumed there to be a single mission that i can take to engage all of them *and* take the outpost .

As a sidenote, how do i interact with outposts that are not Build on the Hydral homeworld remains? Could find no trace of them  ...

Maybe this explains my troubles finding them :

Fixed a bug that was preventing the following racial actions (so the races doing it themselves, not via your dispatch) from doing their completion logic:
Building any kind of outpost.

EDIT: Having seen your screenshots from .852 I think the problem was indeed the the outposts that I would have liked to capture did not even appear on the map (aside from the one on the Hydral homeworld!). Kudos to zharmad for the pointer (even if it wasn't directed at me ).
