How to capture ships as IR?

[More2Burn]

As the title says how can I capture ships as the IR, i know you have to research the Mole Miners before you can use them, I do, but whenever I use the Mole Miner ability from my ISD1s I only get informed that the ship "can be captured".

I'm not sure of the exact numbers, but the ship to capture must be near destruction.  So it can't have shields and hull must be low.  Then the mole miners are deployed and if the ship isn't destroyed after the mole miners take it, then it becomes yours.  Someone else probably can be more exact on numbers, but the key is that it needs to be near destruction when you activate it to have a chance.  Also, obviously, you have to be Pellaeon/Thrawn as your faction...

Once they're marked as Can Be Captured, you use a shuttle (Mu or Lambda) and use the Crew Extractor ability on the ship.
