brigs and small ships get captured too. It's a bit of a shame that SOL can't get captured, first of all the routine means they soak up all the fire so tend to be sunk first, but it would be nice when there is a retreat check for the losing fleet for all the badly damaged ships to have to roll a dice against capture : It was then that usually a "dead on the water" ship could end up being captured.
