Re: Ripper Beams
LCC if you're planning on capturing enemy ships the SDD can be a huge pain in the rear. It's a relatively small component so it's hard to hit, seems that you almost always nail the bigger components such as weapons etc first. If you're using tactical combat one thing that seems to help for me at least is to give the boarding ships or other specialized ships a large number of low damage weapons and first them singly or in small Groups to pick off the SDD. I don't know if this would be worth the effort for the sort of large game you are playing though.
This is sort of cheesy, but I used it once on the Rage when I was desperate. Use nothing but NSP's or Shard Cannons on the enemy ships, eventually you'll blow everything up onboard except the armor. So you will be capturing a completely crippled hulk, that will require a lot of repairs. In my situation though, I needed the hulls badly and it was worth it for me since I had extensive orbital maintenance and construction facilities.
