Nope. You get to use any units and facilities that survive ground combat, but there's no way to analyse them.

You do get the benefits of any surviving facilities, though, even if you cannot build any more. A great one to capture is a pyschic ship or fleet training facility. Those will increase your ship/fleet experience for all ships/fleets in the system. There are other good ones to capture too.

Slick.

I have found that the best method to capture a planet is to build 100 assualt transports, set them to wall, and capture planet. I have captured many homeworlds this way. Sure I lose many of these ships, but it is sooooooooo cool to see the planet captured with all of its defenses and facilities intact. And as a rule, 105. Troops are a cheap expendable and renuable resource. Use and abuse them.

meh at - just use 100 dreads with 1 cargo bay and fill it with sheelds and armor.
