Er... Jer? You don't have More Thrust, do you?

"Once you have got your ship into the correct position to be able to
launch 
a Boarding assault, the Marines may cross between the ships - they are 
assumed to do this either in small "assault pods" specially made for
such 
actions, or in their own Powereed Armour suits if they are euipped with
them."

More Thrust p.7, "Boarding Actions".

PSB-wise this sounds very similar to what you're proposing, though the 
boarding rules allow you to actually capture enemy ships.
