How do you board and capture ships?

[Vortigaunt Steve]

I heard you can board ships and capture them so that they are apart of your fleet, but how exactly do you do it?

You can capture any ship that you are "aggressive" to. Any non-aggression ships, you will only repair/refuel if you try to board them, which I wish would change. There should be an option to pirate disabled non-aggressive ships. Even if it was only a one time required thing. It's better than having to plink at them with a pellet before attempting to board, just to trigger the aggression, and then have everything try to kill you before you can board..
