Maybe you should be allowed to put boarding parties aboard and then fly it home under reduced speed/ functionality, but using the AS makes no sense at all.

OK, the urge for realisim rears it's ugly head.

For the record, I found it irritating when my MC ships were (rarely) taken by AI psychic races that got lucky with the direct fire weapons.

However, if the MC is destroyed and not taken over by AS or a boarding party, how does the original empire get it home?

The original way was, grudgeingly, more balanced

Ships without MCs still get 1 movement.
Of course, you can still send the UBERFAST (Quantum engines, Solar sail, Quantum reactor, Propulsion Experts) repair frigate...
