Space Combat - Observations and Questions (Aaron/Richard take note)

[warp nine]

What settings can u use to make more use of boarding ships? The attack ships seem to destroy everything before they get involved, and boarding ships tend to stay away until shields are down (unless you put a weapon like a shield depleter on board). If default fleet strategy is set for 'capture enemy ships', the whole fleet flees into a corner and fires back at attackers until someone loses their shields. Then a boarding ship will pounce. I was looking for a more direct assault where the boarders stay close to the action and capture ships with shields down before they are destroyed.
