In SM mode, you can make a race forget tech down to the basics, so you could grant the humans marine tech, create a few battalions for the assault, and afterwards remove the tech and disband the battalions.
Are you using mobile infantry, or are you using marine companies? marines are very effective with ship boarding.Well i tried to use the most basic units since i wanted the Humans to be at the lowest it can be when it comes to tech.
EDIT: well crap, even 100 Mobile Battalions couldn't capture that ship.. It had 31k crew but come the frakk on ..
Ok i will try it..
I will change those destroyers to geo/grav scout fighters tho - will they be captured along with mothership if they will be in the hangar deck ?

Yes, I've tried similar setups and run into those problems. Could you instead SM the humans marines and boarding ships and have them capture the mothership instead? I don't know what that would do to the parasite destroyers (any know what happens to a carrier when it gets boarded?).
If you're controlling the mothership and keeping it at 0 speed the boarding ships could still use conventional engines.
