I doubt destroyers are going to get it done. A smart enemy is more likely to use security stations to prevent you from pulling this off as a method of getting him to blow up his own ships. Destroyers don't get the high damage mounts, so you are going to have to use a lot of space for shield depleters, which won't leave much for shields or more boarding parties to overcome his Secusrity stations. You might manage to get lucky and snag a couple battleships, but you are going to need more than 4 or 5 to one odds to do it I think. And if you do manage to capture a battleship it will be toast. It won't have any shields, and it will be at an instant 20+20% disadvantage against it's identical ex-fleetmates. (Actually, might be as high as 40+40% since your captured ships won't be part of a fleet, and his will and presumably will have fleet training)

I think to pull off capturing you are going to need to use bigger ships, but then the economics stop making sense. It might be useful as a suprise, or in desperation if you don't have time to train you ships. But I don't think you are going to have much success with it.

I think you'd do better just loading them up with shields and armor and setting them to ram. Your ships will be just as dead, but your chances are better of taking some of his out with you.
