Does AI use boarding ships

Take a look at the EA research file. They research Ship Capture *after* they research Ice Planet Colonization. In fact, as ironic as it may sound, the two entries come exactly one after the other in the Version of the ModPack I have installed on this computer. :-)

I'm guessing that even if the AI captured a ship it would not be smart enough to analyze it for the technology anyways.

BTW, the AI did once acquire one of my SM ships through an Intel Op. It was one heck of an expensive ship. Thank goodness I don't put shields on my SM ships. It was very easy to board and get back.
