	An enemy ship can only be boarded once it is '''critically damaged''' — its hull must be driven below roughly '''40%'''. Below that threshold, each further chunk of damage gives a chance for the ship to become boardable. When it does, the ship goes dead in space (engines cut) and a boarding prompt appears.
