I believe this is incorrect. If the ship has boarding parties and it's ship strategy is "capture ships" it should do so regardless of fleet strategy.[/QB]
I think if Ship Capture ships are in a fleet set to "Capture Planets" with the Secondary Movement Strategy Set to "Optimal Firing Range", the Ship Capture ships with no weapons will say to themselves: "I have no troops, so I can't follow the Primary Strategy. And I have no weapons so I can't follow the Secondary Strategy. It's probably best if I run to the corner and get shot at."
The Ship Capture ships with weapons will follow the "lets go shoot our weapons at stuff" plan, but will forget about the marines they have on board.
Main problem, I think, is that the game doesn't consider Boarding Parties to be a weapon. I think.
