Well... not a lot of people use boarding in this game. So it probably just never occurred to Steve to put it in. Course the intelligence screen could outright use an overhaul.

By design, as you would need to disassemble the components in order to reverse engineer them to get technical data from them. If you scrap the vessels I believe you would get some data, but I could be wrong. You might have to scrap the vessel, then disassemble the ship components you receive after scrapping it.

I meant tech data on the alien intel screen. It'd be nice to get all class design data for that alien class after capturing a vessel

I promptly launched two marine companies to board the vessel and captured it without a problem. I repeated this process a few times whenever they came for a visit. After capturing these vessels, the alien race still remained neutral and relations were improving. I also noticed that you don't get tech data of the ships after capturing them. Is this by design or an oversight?
