Issues unresolved[edit]
Marine frigate capture bug[edit]
Marine frigates are unable to capture enemy vessels. Once the capture-order has been completed, ship control is never transferred, even with repeated attempts.
This is not a bug. Relic disabled the ability to capture ships that build other ships in Single Player.
