ITT: FTL talk
Did a cool Mantis A run where i got a mind control which I'd use on an enemy and then right before it wore off teleport them to my ship and kill them. If you have decent shielding it's probably one of the safest ways to use boarders/teleporter. You'll still want some degree of weapons of course and the flag ship was a bit tricky but it's a neat way to play.
absolutely love this game. Check out some of the big mods like Captain's Editions or Multiverse. One of my favorite modded runs is the Engi ship you can create AI holo crew members so you don't need to power any oxygen, people try to board you and find they are trapped with no 02 and locked doors.
Mind control is incredibly powerful, if you time and mind control the enemy pilot after you've fired weapons but before they hit you can guarantee hits with lasers or bombs. If you have both mind control and a teleporter you can kidnap enemies and bring them onto your ship.
I gotta sink my teeth into multiverse but there's just so much more stuff it's a bit intimidating.
it's honestly super fun to dive into multiverse and just see all the cool new stuff
