Giving up a battle, a player could retreat any ship capable of retreating and then just have any ship that couldn't escape fight to the death, denying their capture. The ai is far less likely to know to do this. The only way a surrender mechanic would work was if it was independent of the player's actions.

My idea was that after the enemy retreated, you keep any ship that was left behind, not counting fighters, that has a health over 50%. This way the NR can capture ssds and isds, which they did, examples being the Emancipator and the Lusankya.
