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.
Fondly remember all the nonsense I've done in FTL, buying stun bomb with stealth B, paying the toll with Rock C, leaving my mantis behind with Mantis B. Always fun to see what the newest "worst thing I've been forced into doing" is. To do my flexing though I've got hard no pause wins with every ship other than Slug B, been playing the multiverse mod a bunch (and doing other stuff) rather than grinding it out. Slug B is real tough when you're just starting out with it since you need to be really good before it becomes an ok ship.
No pause wins with every ship is totally worth flexing about. I can respect that immensely.
