I've actually found that my cap ships tend to slow down or get stuck trying to retreat when they turn on the same plane and run into other cap ships or facilities. They actually just shove the smaller ships aside, but if you're trying to get that cap ship out of harm's way quickly, then changing the plane means that it won't run into anything and slow down on the way out.
Do you happen to have a replay of the game in question? There should be an automatic save for it in your multiplayer folder. I'd be interested as well in how this was done.

Of course there are the games on there that have the d/c from game server problem when you try to join because of improper setup, but if you have played Warcraft 3 online or WoW before, then your ports should be set up properly already as Sins uses the same port as Battle.net
Didn't want to read the last 500 or so posts (I also wouldn't want to be the person whose job it is to read all of this), but I wanted to suggest a tweak to the UI in case someone had not mentioned this.
