Minor capture issue - 7/23/2014 12:43:44 PM

Once a target has already had its shields worn out, ships that I give an order to capture the target will stop using tractor beams. Those should be used while the target is out of range, and once the target has been boarded, they should probably be used to push the ship away so I'm taking less damage while the capture is ongoing.

Related issue: if you have carriers in your capture fleet, and order the fleet to "capture X", their fighters would stop attacking other targets and just circle the ship being boarded, while the carriers gets annihilated by the remaining ships.

Another capturing issue - a couple of times I get a message that I've boarded and taken over the enemy ship, and it immediately explodes. Is this how it's showing me auto-scrapping the ship based on my empire settings (I don't think I have it set to ever scrap a ship), or is the AI self-destructing before I can take the ship over in those cases?
