Boarding an alien ship

Say I would like to board an alien ship. MUST I use only combat drop pod or troop transport module can do, if the enemy ship is almost halted? This will be the difference between approaching a derelict ship with a single marine company, or a whole brigade of mobile infantry

To attack an enemy ship you will need the drop pod. This is true even if it is not moving or destroyed. With planets it is a bit better as you will have a colony to offload the troops onto. The pods do work better from what I have heard but are not mandatory.

The basic mechanics of boarding can be found here (it is a little obscure to find)

Thanks, I think I read it once, but the article is so excellent, it was a pleasure to read it again...
I wonder if Steve took the precaution of preventing boarding if there is still a shield on?
