Hacking a medbay is extremely good with boarding playstyle. Not only it locks the doors so enemies can't easily reach it, activating the hack makes the room *damage* them instead.

Imagine being a veteran warrior that has saved your ship in almost every single combat, and then in the final battle your captain sends you in to the enemy ship precisely 5 seconds before he blows up the enemy ship.

an easy OP build: as much shields as you can get, plus any ion weapons you can find. keep at least 1 heavy damage weapon or missile on you (i suggest the hull beams that do 1-2 damage per room, line up 4 rooms, oof damage.) for drones or people who cant be killed by suffocation, shoot out the oxygen/weapons of any ship you come across to starve them of oxygen... wait til they're dead. gets you more scrap (similar to the run amby did here in this video) and yes this even works on the endgame flagship, as they're all humans... unfortunately you still have to damage the flagship so it warps away, which means it'll come back with more crew.

@christophergeissler9414 2 жыл бұрын

@@zantanzuken It actually doesn't come back with more crew, if you kill everyone in the ship it becomes an AI ship and vents all oxygen. You can kill everyone but the person in the laser gun because he will stay on till the end of the ship. If he's alive the ship needs oxygen. Then you can destroy the shields and do the damage

The Mantis ships are my favourite; the first 30 scrap HAVE to go into upgrading the teleporter before you go anywhere. Drone ships especially used to be my bane, but I've also had runs gutted by not being able to recall my boarders during a bad fight. This VOD was absolutely anxiety inducing as it brought back all the bad mistakes I made when learning the Mantis ships.

@eddyz6502 7 ай бұрын

Hey! I just did a run with this ship (albeit on easy, idk if this transfers to hard...) and noticed two interesting mechanics: - fully upgrading teleport gives 10s cooldown and allows to send two boarding parties one after another - not going for hard-kill a) provides more scrap; b) there is a higher chance to get new cre-wmembers for free - oh, and hacking isolates the room, thus it might be good to wait for hack, then board

I actually really like the mantis ship. It’s pretty powerful against the flag ship since the weapons systems are unreachable meaning you can destroy each weapons system with your boarding party and they are permanently broken.

@hardware72 5 ай бұрын

Boarding is my personal favorite playstyle. High risk high reward and with level 3 teleporter you can pull your boarders in and out fast. With 4 mantis and full room teleporter you mostly wipe everything in no time. With level 3 teleporter you can teleport into auto ships and back out before anyone dies.

i think taking out piloting will lower evasion to 0. it's really helps when enemy ships have a jacked FTL, and/or shield system.

hell yeah. I haven't played ftl in probably years but the ost is activating every serotonin receptor in my brain. All I really remember about my best runs was that they involved mind control and shutting down enemy systems. Have them punch each other while starved for oxygen and/or on fire. Think it's the slug people who do mind control?

@Cookie-qu1gs 2 жыл бұрын

Slugs are immune to mind control I believe, but it's a ship system that does mind control, not the slugs. The C layout of the Slug cruiser does start with mind control though. Having a slug crew also allows you to see where enemies are even without upgraded sensors.

I wonder if upgrading the medbay / teleporter is a good idea, especially after getting the engi med bay that effects the whole ship just send your guys over, fight to near death, port back, get healed up extremely quickly and then send them back over microing your boarders back and forth seems like a high apm fun take on the usual run
