Trouble with capturing enemy ships

[SuperBran]

So I am having some trouble with capturing enemy ships. I have my policy set to always capture, always disassemble, always at space port for tech and resources. I have unchecked auto-retrofit to latest designs. My understanding of this policy means that anytime I capture, I should be diassembling the ship, however this is not the case. The ships self automate and then immediately refuel and start doing their own thing. Is there something that I am doing wrong here?

I usually go to the ship after taking control and turn off auto mode then give order to refuel but you have to turn off auto first thing.

You are not doing anything wrong, just the game trying to not have idle ships sitting around.

I believe there is a bug where boarding policies are not properly applied when you load a game. If I remember (usually reminded when a boarded ship got scrapped). I would go into the policy, switch things around a bit, then set it back to always capture and disassemble. That seems to work the majority of the time.

I've been tinkering around with the Policy Files settings for this with the AI but can't get it to work either. This should probably be moved to Tech Support.
