Ah, I see...
Soooo..., relative velocities and positional vectors in space combined with magnetic clamps/cables or universal docking mounts for proximity operations are concepts that don't exist in the BT universe. They've been abstracted out so no one has to deal with them it seems
I get it now (LOL). ;)
It would be very cool to do such, but you know players would be stretching every rule possible if they thought they could be getting "free" dropships/jumpships/warships.....
Canonical designs don't include marines, so anyone using canonical designs is stupid vulnerable to boarding if boarding is at all practical. Players also don't tend to use morale rules, so getting a bunch of grunts in shuttles and sending them off to near-certain doom for a small chance at a WarShip is the sort of thing they'll do without thinking twice. Thus they need to make it impossible, to make up for the fact that there are no marines to make it difficult.

It doesn't matter what your thrust is in TO as you can only even make the attempt on immobile targets..
I've got no issues at all with anything you said Nasty K, but I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with it anyway. And here's why! :D
I don't like bringing this particular aspect of realism into the space battles rules. We're already predicated on Delta-V that's beyond realism and firmly into the realm of magic as is. Rule of Cool is the order of the day on the ground and especially in the sky. Rule of Cool says you oughta be able to do some space versions of naval boarding actions. Even the fiction says it works (occasionally).
I don't see why the game rules have to make it so that boarding is an implausible game tactic.
