No no. it's sweet to se the SSD killing the station. It's the SSD purpose to attack and destroy big installations. They have mistaken by not adding it. (Now now, play nice! -SWM) The consortium strategy is to use self destruct the way you have described. But it rebuild the ships too fast. An aggressor is expensive. The AI self destruct by causing heavy damage to other ships and immediately a new one shows up. The AI definitely cheats. So makes at least Imperial ships stronger and cost less would be a good balance solution. About rebels.. I don't care about scums and stupid aliens who deserve only to die.
