Wow, I feel pretty foolish for not noticing the small little escape pod ejecting from the command ship and flying towards the target "new" command ship. It was hard to see with all the other little fighters and such that had been harassing me in the area. Not sure how to make that clearer unless perhaps a message of some kind indicating that your command shuttle is in "en route" to the new command ship was added. Could just be me not paying enough attention, though. The screen kept moving because of the command shuttle and I just thought it was either me moving the mouse or an issue because my command ship was toast. I don't think it was the bug you mentioned. Hopefully you've squashed that one, I know I hate when little bugs come crawling back out.
I read the manual, took your advice, and had another go and did much better now, at least on the medium missions. The hard ones, aside from Sinking the Bis'mar, have proven too daunting for me thus far, heh. I had a go driving one of the assault frigates (once they, ahem, kind of blew up my command ship) and it moved at a top speed of about 30. Boy, did I regret that move! I also tried the Dominator-class in Predator or Prey, but hated the movement speed on it. I tried to capture the buoys as it suggested, but failed to take and hold them.
I will look forward to the campaign when I can proceed at a slightly slower pace. I don't think I'm quite ready for the hard and impossible scenarios yet.
