Luca's sure to get yelled at too. Not only did he fly directly at a big unknown, he did so in the VF equivailent of a Christmas Tree. He was just asking to get shot down, while providing the enemy as big and obvious a target possible.
To be fair, Luca's job was to gather data of the enemies. The enemy ship happends to require him to get closer to analyse the data. If you ever played the space simulation game, Freespace and Freespace 2, the giant Shiva capital ships requires the player to perform suicidal feats(Going close proximity, through and hell its flak cannon barrages) to scan the ships to fulfill the objective.

So in a way I can understand Luca's intentions. But he was careless let his guard down that resulted in being captured which in part was his fault, though not being stupid.

Alto on the other hand, is recklessly stupid. Fortunately he seems to have a super hero's hot-blooded trait that lets him miraculously dodge the heavy flak barrages of the enemy ship when in Gar mode. Ozma's immediate improvision in ordering the Skull squadron to provide Alto support resulted in his increased survival chances as well.
