Slave trader ship

I just managed to disable the crew of a slave trader ship and received scrap and something else as bonus. However since the ship is usually filled with slaves and you are being offered one to join your crew, maybe it would be an added bonus to have several options when taking over a slave trader ship without destroying it.

I was thinking in the area of "You take the slaves to a nearby friendly planet and they thank you" or "You ask them to join your crew, 2 of them are willing to do so"(added bonus for taking a ship out non destructively). Or what about "You go to a nearby planet to sell the slaves away for a good chunk of scrap?

Usually when you try to destroy it they offer you a slave for letting them live. You should definitely get a popup similar to the one where you rescue a crew ("most of the slaves waits to be sat off at the next station, but one person decides to join your crew"). Post the idea on https://getsatisfaction.com/ftlgame !

How about you get two for boarding the ship and freeing the slaves, but the slaver crew is made up of mostly mantises//rockmen//anti-personnel drones to make it harder to take over in that way.
