"Thanks for the help though. havent realy tried out the capture stuff. It requies military lvl.2 right?"
Yeah. Once you've opened the tech area, its only 5000 points for the boarding parties 1.

The things i research ASAP are the frigate, ion engine lvl.3 (to keep the maintance smaller, and the construction a bit faster), organic manipulation, organic weapons lvl.1 and military science.
I think that this is where your problem lies.
You're combining Organic Armor with small hulls, and that just dosen't work well. As you may or may not know, OA only heals hitpoints once one of the components has been destroyed. If you have only one OA, then you get nothing out of its regen abilities.
Also, by referring to the
Damage Factor List (3rd post from the bottom) that I posted long ago, you can see that the Seeking Parasites (SP) are quite powerful at long range. (1.0 vs 0.5 for other organic weapons)
The fact that they always hit is very helpful as well
Once your opponents start loading up on PDCs, then you could switch to the PC/HPB guns.
By using Seeker spores early on, you can ditch armor, combat sensors, and even ECM, while using a max-range strategy.
Once you've stolen Cruiser scale vessels, then start heavily using the Organic armor. 1/3rd of your mass is a good starting point, since the more you have, the better it works.
