Wow... it's quite a nice ability, comendeering high priced frigates like kodiaks, however I have a question and a concern that I am hoping will be fixed in a patch.
1) How do the upgrades work? Does the ship gain all upgrades/techs from the captured race? Do any of your upgrades/tech apply if it is the same race?
2) Why does this ship not "reset" when captured? I've noticed that they keep their original movement orders; including retreat orders. Thus, newly captured ships may retreat into enemy territory and die... awesome!
