Ahh... here we go.
You can target a specific 'System' on a ship by using the '[' and ']' keys (or whatever you have keymapped 'target next component' and 'target previous component' to).
Then, you can focus your attack only on the Reactor and/or Engine, and 'disable' a ship. Once disabled, there should be an automatic trigger, in this case, that changes the Freighter from an enemy to a friendly and it will probably become an Escort mission.
Sometimes the next step after disabling an NPC ship as part of a Quest Mission will be to dock (/dock or 'U') with it to trigger the next plot sequence.
Try blowing the Engine and/or Reactor and then see if the 'capture' happens automatically.

I forgot that you could target the engines or reactor and that was the problem. I finally got it done. I was even able to get the second one done so now I just need to do the 3rd mission. Thanks again for everyone helping me.
