I'll try to prep a save at the start of boarding operation and post it in beta forum.

To actually stop that from being possible I believe that target engines should be fully disabled before You can start boarding operation. On the other hand there's no pressure as this is a single player game and ppl will always find something to abuse xD
I hated being forced to destroy all engines in X:Rebirth. That leaves your prize a sitting duck afterwards, prey to Xenon and other evildoers. I like the X4-way much better.

Nah it just makes the thing mindless and repetitive. Instead of planning Your attack and hit at the right moment (to avoid what You mentioned) You just go "o nice ship I'll add it to my collection or make infinite money off seeling ships i captured without any challenge or consequence".

But as I said no pressure on the matter as it's a single player game and there will always be exploits. For me boarding is actually the least enjoyable part. Especially since player is the only one capable of boarding. If AI could board ships I believe ppl will be more into "disabled engines first" xD
