Brig has a 100% capture, Diashonin won the battle, and the NPC was Miner. That points to NPC error. But I have captured ships from them.

*minor correction: Not ALL your ships have 100% capture. Schooner has 50% as does Snow i think. Too lazy to look it up right now lol

Also it is important to note that while your ships DO have a 100% chance to capture ships in battle, there are certain conditions that may impact your ability to KEEP the ships after the battle...
1) as a Coll you have to win the battle
2) while ships may be captured, they may end up destroyed. This is not shown in the attack log but it does happen.
It isn`t so much a bug, as the way in which the attack system works. If you haven`t, read EE`s guide to attacking located in the New Player Help Thread. This gives detailed explanations on how the battle system actually works and the factors at play.
The Capture Ship ability is complicated, it has caused issues in the past. A moment of nostagia brings to mind the original D. Modi starbase belonging to the Dark Marauder race... this ship had a 1500% capture ship ability which tended to break the battle system during the battle... caused too many problems and it was eventually nerfed to what it is today.

The important thing to remember here is you are never guaranteed the ships you capture....

Would have to be NPC issue, because it is anAminer NPC....and I did capture flych and illite stacks. I wanted to the chlor stacks tho:(

Could be an issue with the NPC.. these are not actually people, and as BW is fond of pointing out, the single most complicated aspect of GC

1. Did he have any capture ships in his fleet, like V or H class?

2. Did you have a chlor stack that died in your fleet?

Both are reasons not to capture.
