Ok have been reading the logs and found that in a upcomming it COULD be possible to fly a captured ship...
so a Kluth would be able to fly MY AD...
i dont like that so here's a counter idea.
I capture a Kluth Scarab.
My tech crew would need to have a few mins to "fix " the ship so i would need to capture it... * the ship would go Neutral so its allies can see a capture is in progress *
Now the ship is fixed and sticks around for 2-5 mins..
after that the ship simply heads for deepspace to be sold on the black market..
ofcourse YOU get some nice credits for capturing it * if a group is involved the credits are evenly devided *
Here's the price list
Transports - 1500 credits.
Supply - 1500 credits
Engineers - 1500 credits
Scouts - 5000 credits
Frigates - 3000 credits
Destroyers - 4000 credits
Cruisers - 9000 credits
Dreadnought - 20000
Station - 100000
Now you see that a scout is a whopping 5K in credits... why? ITS A SCOUT.. scouts carry 1 big important thing... information... High command would be more happy to get a scout than a destroyer 
* due to populair demand changed the prices a bit *

You just captured a station?
A ship the size of a planet with Thousands of enemy troops in it and your faction has the guts you rip you off by giving a lousy 40k?
I would charge at least a million! The amount of scrap metal that comes from it, the prisoners they can suck info out, the joy of towing it into a star and sending the pictures to the enemy high command!
No way in hell I will sell my freshly capped station for 40k…
Anyway; Im not a fan of the entire suggestion anyway.
Seeing as the econo. system will someday return and the credits right now are easy to get the econo. system will be useless.
Heck look at the top 50 people in the Credits ranking

Why is an engineer worth more than a station? An engineer can easily be captured. The engineer has 4x the credits as a station, that is crazy.

engie would have another factions completely tech tree........like kluth would get cl2ks.....and what not.......i do however think this will be vastly reedited....a station, should be more powerful, and still be worth more then an engie

By that logic, then, a station should be worth much more.
They would come with both repair and build components.

I put the prices up to give an idea of how it would work...
also remember the funds would go in theorie to the ICC faction not all to the player so what ya see is just a percentage of the big moela

I would think they should head for the nearest starport. Or even put your ship on follow and YOU have to go to the starport, and when you're within 250 of it, the ship will head over to it, sit there a minute or two, then disappear, and add to your account some credits.

With the new shipyard system, I would suggest having it deconstructed at a planet with shipyard, adding the metals to the planet's stockpile. That way everyone benefits from it, as the planet will be able to build more ships.
In case of modded ships/ships having items not buildable on said planet, the items would be removed from the ship and placed in the starport available to buy.
I think thats the most reasonable thing to do with caotured ships. Just my $0.02

I like the idea of flying enemy ships, with a few limits.
1. only one enemy ship in your gate account(new ones get sold at slightly higher prices, or you can order them somewhere)
2. capturing should be VERY HARD(lots of troops for even small ships)
3. the ship appears as green to the enemy to which it belongs until you attack one of their ships with it or land enemy inf on one of their planets
4. You cannot mod captured ships
That's my $0.03

but the transfer of ur comand should take awhile and you should depending on the shipp class either not be able to have serten systems due to crew shorting and/or u have to abanod ur other ship.

Cool ideas. Speaking of it being hard to capture a ship, if you're ship is boarded, could your teammates drop THEIR inf on you to help keep your ship from being capped?

I like this idea. however here is my way of doing it..
Ship spots enemy
Ship weakens enemy
Ship gets within 25gu of enemy
Ship drops inf
minor inf battle occurs
Your troops win. the ship is now NEUTRAL
You DOCKyour ship with the now-neutral ship.
After 2 FULL minutes of non-docking and niether ship blows up, the ship becomes yours
Ship is set to GUARD you.
You may orbit a planet with a starport. doing so adds a generoud ammount of metal, heavy metal, weapons to the starport, and credits to income
