Triton Class Recycler
The Triton Recycler is a special recycler that does not harvest debris after a battle. Instead, the Triton is included in battle with the attacking fleet and has a chance to steal enemy ships or recover your destroyed ships at the end of each battle. Each Triton can recover at most one ship. Any ships stolen or recovered will return to your planet ready for use. The chance to steal/recover is 1% per Triton Recycler and the ships are stolen/recovered from all destroyed ships in battle. The maximum number of ships you can collect from an attack is 10% of the destroyed ships. The most number of Triton Recyclers to use is thus 10% of the destroyed ships (include your own in that number), times 100.

Evaluation
Advantages
One of the fastest ships. May reduce losses. Can capture ships that are difficult to build (particularly in Hired Guns).
Disadvantages
No weapon. Medium-sized ship: more expensive than fodder while more easily destroyed than a heavy capital ship. The chance that any given Triton will recover a ship is small (1%). In battles with a high proportion of fodder ships, the likelihood of capturing a valuable ship is especially small, and should be weighed against its fuel cost and chance of loss.
