Are you positive about this? When I was testing out that racemod of mine I occasionally lost a dreadnought to a lingering SDD. It was very annoying. Granted, I gave all SDD's the doarding defense ability and gave the attackers the a "Boarding Cannon" with 'damage only security station' as a damage type. Perhaps that had something to do with it, perhaps not.

The only way to be positive is to get word from MM, which I haven't pursued on this issue. However, I was speaking about the unmodded game, so if you modded components, I can't speak for that.

But from personal experience and from several reports from others, I can say that this has been the case and I haven't seen anything to disprove it. It's not really logical to say that "something doesn't happen because I haven't seen it happen".

There are some good AI's out there that use boarding parties. Maybe you could satisfy yourself by testing one of those. Space Vikings is one.
