Default How do you overcome self-destruct?

I've been testing out the SEIV and SEIV Gold demos (waiting for the full Version to come out) and I want to know, is there is any way to overcome a ships self-destruct mechanism when trying to board a ship?

I've tried disabling it by taking out the engines with an engine destroying weapon (self-destruct description said that it overloaded the engines) but that proved fruitless. Is there some tech in the full Version that can overcome this pesky self nuking component or am I just going about this the wrong way? Any advice would be welcome.

No, there isn't. The only way to overcome a SSD would be to fire at the ship blindly and hope that it gets destroyed before the rest of the components in the ship.

If you that you have to modify the components: I posted a topic about that not long ago: Idea for boarding modification.
