Actual use for auxilary control?

[Taera]

I am absolutely sure this was discussed before but i think i'll ask that again, people's opinions change... occasionaly.
Anyway. Is there any reason to put AuxilaryControl on a ship... any ship?
It costs as much as a self-destruct device.
It only adds one more target in the list of bridge, life support and crew quarters descruction of each of which will bring the halving of speed. I see absolutely no use for this component. And yes, i know about the modding use of it, but what the point of having it in your normal game?
