hi .
yesterday i was trying to cap a MI Longhead with a transport..
he was very slow so it was easy to get i to 20gu from him.
i relased several heavy infantry ... at a time , the MI stoped .... iv listened a sound like something had happened , the MI remained stop for 3 min and then simply disapeared ....
is ti possible that i have cap , but i dont have rank to have a dread yet and so it desapeared ???
tkx

Alright let me clear this up for you... when you capture a ship you don't get to fly it.. it simply become an AI for your current team and goes around doing its own thing. As well as adding some Ships Captured points to your profile.

From Chapter 7, subchapter 8 of the MANUAL:-
Any infantry that successfully board your vessel will first have to fight any infantry that you have in your cargo bay (....) however, there is a small chance (depending on the type of ship you're piloting and the skill of the enemy troops on board) that you will be captured by the enemy troops.
The captured ship will fight until the area is clear, then it will leave the battlefield and head for the nearest shipyard or Home Gate.

This very much explains it. Infantry have a chance to capture, captured ship will fight with new allies, and go *poof* through some docking/transfering area.
The funny part is about the MI stopping for a whole 3 minutes. Were you disconnected? Network problems perhaps?or maybe you were having a spacedust mirage that occurs from fighting within the Kaus Borealis' green aura.
Safe to say it won't happen again. Have fun, young privateer!
