17.6.4.2 IF your opponent uses Ship Capture :

THEN:
a. Use shields. Boarding parties hate ‘em.
b. Use shield regenerators... even 1 point of shields is enough to stop boarding parties.
c. Use self destruct devices. Note: your ship will still be destroyed, but not captured.
d. Use Master Computers.
e. Use security stations (not particularly efficient).
f. Target that ship type first in the firing strategy if feasible (i.e., “smallest, nearest”).
g. Use max or long range.
h. Consider using engine destroyers to impede the enemy's movement.

Why, MC's don't stop boarding parties does it?
