This was really fun, you even get an achievement for it. Don't read if you want to figure this out for yourself




I used a boarding crew of a mantis and a human against a slug controlled ship. They disabled my main weapons, leaving me with only 2 bars of bar available. My ion burst and burst laser were offline, my healing burst was working. These slugs are pretty smart, they fought my boarding party in rotations and went to heal when they got too injured. I kept attacking the same room until the system went offline. Use healing burst to keep my boarding party healed up. Eventually, I had taken out the cockpit, weapons room, and oxygen room and engines, all that was left was the med bay and shields.

While I was taking out the shields, I noticed my guys were asphyxiating, so I teleported back home and waited for the slugs to die from no oxygen. It never happened though. They were all hiding in the medbay because of low HP and the healing was counteracting the asphyxiation damage. So I teleported my guys into the medbay where I easily defeated them since they didn't have the healing effect anymore. But I almost lost them too. See the teleporter takes longer to charge up than it takes them to die from asphyxiation, so I had to send another healing burst before I could retrieve them.

It was a fun little encounter that I wanted to share with everyone.

This game is awesome!

Something similar happened to me, I wanted to take over the ship if thats even possible. I got the asphyxiation achievement but the ship collapsed on me, not sure if thats supposed to happen or if thats because fire was everywhere on the enemy ship and it only had 1 bar left.

I will find out someday.

Any damage to subsystems will also damage 1 bar of Hull. Normally this happen simultaneously for your weapons so you don't really notice.

I think the asphyxiation achievement comes as soon as the enemy ship has zero oxygen left. Its not if you destroy the O2 room, and not if/when they die from asphyxiation. So all you have to do is maintain a boarding party in the O2 room until the air runs out, then beam your guys back. Then they will all be stuck in the medbay and you can do what you please to them.

5% percent O2 level, to be sure.
