capping consoles

[satori]

Sorry in advance if this is a dumb question...

Does it take a certain number of people to cap a console? For example, my faction was getting pounded and could barely get out of the warpgate. I was looking to do something different so I flew across the map to some random console where no enemies were. I tried to cap it but it never changed. 2 more people in my squad actually joined me (via spawn beacon) and still, no change.
