I still remembered this sequence very clearly ....
1) - Battle = Enemy mantis ship + Flare
2) - 2 Mantis tele over door control; venting the room is ineffective since it won't be fast enough before it will be destroy and only left you with lots of airless room without door control. Engine+Weapon system crew abandoned to fight them.
3) - Solar flare destroy O2 and put it and the medbay on fire; no ploblem, I'll just vent the engine room+O2 to put the fire out plus save the engine from catching fire and sent the 2 crew to deal with the fire in medbay + get some medical care and let the mantis destroy the door control, I'll kill the mantis and just fix the door later, then I will deal with the O2 later once I'm done with the battle.
4) - Door destroyed. 2 Mantis ran to the Helm.
5) - Once the fire in the medbay is put out and still have some oxygen left, sent 1 men with most HP left to the helm to help fight the mantis, and the other guy to fix the door.
6) - Artemis hit and destroy medbay and hull breach it...
7) - After the enemy ship is destroyed, sent all 3 guys to fix the medbay.
8) - Solar flare imminent; couldn't deal with yet another fire in the helm or the medbay since I barely have O2 left, sent 1 guy to the helm and jump away
9) - All previous explored area are under rebel control; jump to a new area.
10) - 4 human boarders event; my crews do not have full health but still desperately try to kill the boarders inside medbay.
11) - Medbay ran out of O2; all the enemies are almost dead now, and so are my crews, but they have 4 guys vs mine's 3...
12) - Evacuvated all my crews the to front of the ship, where there's still some air, in hope that all the boarders die by the lack of O2
13) - Wishful thinking; medbay destroyed and 4 guys with yellow health bar ran into the room that I put my 3 crews; they all have red health bar...
14) - All my crews were killed and my ship are left to drift for eternity.
Good strategy can help cover the ship's weakness; but
only to a certain degree...
