Good to see you at it!

The following arguably are contradictory:

2.10.2 Ships do retain original strategies after being retrofitted or captured - you can overcome this by making a 1-ship fleet and giving it new fleet orders.

2.10.6 Captured enemy ships use the ship strategy decided by the original creator of that ship. He may change that ship types strategy at any time and it will affect your ship. To stop this retrofit the ship to a design of your own.

Are we to assume that original strategies are retained for retrofitted ships EXCEPT for captured ships that are retrofitted?

2.10.2 is partially wrong. 2.10.6 is correct. After a ship is retrofitted, it uses the strategy of the new design. Captured ships use the strategy of their original design, which is entirely under control of the player that built the ship. You can of course assign the ships to fleets that have strategies not set to break formation. As long as the ship remains in formation, it will follow the strategy of the fleet. If it breaks formation for any reason, it will revert to the design strategy, which will be of the original design.
