boarding parties would have to be light enough to fit in cooridoors. they certainly would not have tanks or ground support fighters, they definitly could not use the kind of weapons you put on most troop units (bombs? ground cannons? come on.) and if they had power armor at all, it would probably be alot lighter (unless you have 40K terminator style boarding parties)

Well, I don't really care if the exact same unit that you use to capture a planet can be used to capture a ship. Sure, it isn't very realistic, but it would be better than what we have now and it should be pretty easy for MM to implement.

However, if they wanted to make separate shipboard troops, add an ability called "Usable in boarding actions". Every unit used in boarding actions (offensively and defensively) must have this ability on every component in their design as well as on the body of the design.

So, currently their are small, medium and large troops. You could either make all three workable shipboard units, or make new designs, maybe small boarding, medium boarding, large boarding. Just make sure the cockpit and probably armor/shields are all "usable in boarding action" and then pick which weapons you want boarding units to have available.
