Remember how boarding is screwed up in that two escorts with one boarding party each can take over any ship, no matter how many Security Stations it has, because the first one destroys all the Security Stations? Well, I finally came up with a solution!
Create a "dummy" component that has the same family as the Security Stations. Call it "Security Core" or some such. Give it the Armor Regeneration ability, but not the Boarding Defense ability. It won't be wiped out by a boarding attack, but it will repair the Security Stations destroyed by the attack! (Unless the core itself is destroyed.)
Pretty neat, huh?
