Badly missing feature: Boarding enemy ships

[Ohio9]

Just started this game after putting in about 34 hours for Bomber Crew. I have to say this is a substantial improvement over that game, mainly because the nature of space combat gives the player a lot more to do than just bomb things and take recon photos.

One of my favorite new things is having to deal with boarding parties. But does anyone else find it frustrating that you can't return the favor to the aliens by boarding their ships? It would be awesome if you could actually board and capture enemy ships instead of just endlessly blowing them up. This could be a specific mission objective or just an optional in-game event (sometimes your gunner might disable a ship instead of destroying it, there could even be weapons designed for that purpose, like the Ion cannons in Star Wars)

The ability to board enemy vessels and maybe gets some extra cash and research by capturing them or their supplies would really add a lot of depth the game. I hope the Devs consider putting it in.

This would be an interesting mission if they added it to board an enemy station or frigate/mothership. Would be neat to be forced to gear the gunners for taking a station. I feel like its not likely to be added, but one can hope.

Yeah it's a real shame. Boarding action is the main difference between this and bomber crew, but there isn't any depth to it. Enemy boarding ships always land in the same place on your ship, and always send in the same 2 or 3 enemies armed with the same gear. It's basically the same event every time in happens, and you can't do it to enemy ships in return.
