How Do I Salvage a Ship That Takes Off with Me Aboard?

[Bobwalt]

There are times I just capture a ship to salvage it but this does not seem possible if I don’t get to the cockpit before they take off. Is there something specific I need to do or is it just not possible?

This isn't possible, because otherwise you would be stranded in space - we block home ships from being salvageable. Capturing/piloting ships automatically makes them your home ship.
