Optimal way to capture ship?

[Your Neighbour]

Playing solo here, going great since I am pretty good at commanding the NPC crews.

But how do I capture enemy submarines? My gunners just blow the enemy ship into smithereens. I know how to capture people and swim them back to your sub as a captive but how do you go from your sub to the other sub without your crew blasting the other crew into bits?

?
What do you mean by capturing sub-marines? As far as I know you can't capture sub-marines.
While you can fully repair them and use them, it will just disappear when you finish a level. At least it worked that way the last time I tried...

Also, crew should not fire at the other sub-marine when manning the turrets is not among their tasks.

First use ships that have complete docking port (upper and lower) like Orca, Typhoon 1&2, Kastrull, R 29.

Wire lower docking hatch proximity sensor to a relay and then from that relay then back to its own set state. Wire set state of that relay to lever so you can turn it on/off. This will forcelly dock your ship to theirs.

Destroy their bridge.

board their ship, capture them with stun dart/baton and handcuff.

loot or tow their ship. if you have sellable pirate ship mod.
