Just my 2 cents....

Boarding parties are obstucted by shields. Shield regen will restore some shields and keep the boarding ships from using the boarding strategy in strategic combat. This is true even if the shields are knocked down by the first shot of a combat round.

Of course security stations would be more useful. I once built an armor only Magnet ship to trap boarding ships. It had 4 security stations on board.
