In a recent v1.13 combat simulation, I sent a ship with ten 13-point boarding parties (130pt) against a ship with no security and 50 crew (5pt). The boarding party icon showed up, but the crew counter did not change through the whole combat. After five minutes, combat timed out, and the ship still belonged to the original owner. Both ships were from the default QuickStart Terran race, so there were no racial differences in combat modifiers.

EDIT: I have tried setting "Space Combat Crew Boarding Strength := 0.001" (down from 0.1) and it didn't seem to make a difference. Setting it up to 1 (up from 0.1) made the boarding icon disappear within about ten seconds.

Seems to be more than a moddable balance issue.
