It's a great idea that people have talked about in previous posts or hinted atanyway. I think that if the devs can enable a system whereby you can board a space station and interact with NPCs and players, they might also be able to permit NPCs to board your ship.
This would be neat in situations where you have to face Imperial checkpoints or pirates. Also, it would be cool to attack other ships this way, boarding disabled vessels and space stations for loot or to blow them up similar to how you disable a base.
Great thoughts, but I think we're going to have to wait a good while before we come close to having anything like this.

Yea, i was thinking of doing a similar post.
I think it only makes sense if you limit it to Multi-Player ships boarding other NPC or player, multi player ships. Otherwise what are you trying to do, drag a pilot out of the cockpit of his fighter and beat the snot out of him? 
It should also require special equipment, like a tractor beam in one of your weapons slots. There should also be a chance that your attempt to tractor and board will fail.
After all, wasn't that the very first thing we saw in Star Wars? ST's bording a corvette. Common, we all wanna do that!

OH HELL YA! I was thinking about that; you can board them or just plain blast them to bits. The only thing I wouldn't implement is Sorosub pirating. They act like houses and I wouldn't want players running off with my rare items. But other than YES YES YES.

would mainly improve the smuggler profession, because not only could they do that but for instance, NPC imps could board your YT-300 and check for illegal spices, have skills for hiding that and so on
