Acually, the capture odds are very high depending on the ship you have.
I was but a shuttle when I saw my first disabled voinian crusier, slowly, I decided to approch it, the caputure odds were 1% but I successfully used the stupid ship as my own.
Awhile after I destroyed Verill Prime, I got the mission to destroy the dreadnought, so I helped destroy it but then I turned against my UE friends and killed them.
I aborted my mission to find that my capture odds on the dreadnought were 11%.
and the next battle that I fought after that was against the dreadnought again, lets just say that it was much... well...easier...
Take a hint.
