Not sure I understand why this would be a problem, in fact it seems like it would be an excellent incentive to go to all the trouble of a boarding action rather than just blasting a ship to bits once it is crippled. Like pevergreen, I fully intend to start my own collection of exotic captured foreign ships.

And bear in mind that while the ships may be foreign, the crews will be your own; if the game represents crews from some countries as being better than others then you will still have to put up with your fancy captured ship being crewed by a bunch of landlubbers.
