Question on Boarding Operations

[Fyron]

Security Stations are quite expensive though, and cost minerals. This will reduce the number of ships the enemy can build, and make it take longer (one of the advantages of organic tech is that resource costs can be balanced between minerals and organics, thus greatly speeding up build times). Self Destruct Devices, on the other hand, are insanely cheap and small... They quite effectively eliminate boarding from being a useful tactic in more than a few isolated circumstances.
