If you think you're about to be boarded, regardless of what your plan is, you'd better put pressure suits on... it's very unlikely that the enemy boarders are going to carefully operate the airlock (if they even have the capability to do so, which is also unlikely).

Might be worth it to pre-emptively depressurize as well - it takes the wind (hah) out of concussion grenades, plus explosive decompression is too serious a risk in general (the rough early lessons of playing Shipbreaker )

Any marines attempting a boarding action will have to be prepared to deal with a loss of atmospheric pressure, same as the defenders.

What if they are in hardsuits? They are almost cyborgs. Consider the Terminator armors from WH40K, it won't be hard for them.

Hardtroops aboard a ship are essentially marines; it would be pretty silly if they couldn't handle depressurization.

Maybe, but explosive decompression is most likely to happen during the breach, which I think would more adversely affect the attacker.
