Another way to capture ships is to play a Psychic race; they have a racial weapon called an Allegiance Subverter.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"

Against an Allegiance Subverter, the only defense is a master computer. The counter to that is a computer virus weapon.

P&N BattleMoons are immune to A.S. in the same way as planets are protected. (Too many people, too much matter in the way)

Or, use "Crew Insurrection" on a rock colony ship, bring it back, and analyze it.

Keep in mind that it might be easier (might be. Haven't tried recently.) to trade for a rock colony ship than it is the tech. *shrug*
