The changed room layout makes boarding impossible with anything below 4 skilled mantis.
In fact, 4 rocks work even better, due to being able to withstand more damage = more time for damaging stuff, better chance of pulling them back alive, possibility to set room on fire and keep rocks there (which makes them unkillable in 4-tiles rooms set completely on fire), etc.

I assume it was on vanilla? Or I just sucks at this and you're super-pro FTL player.

I recommend the 2 glaive beams + lvl 4 artillery + lvl 3 hacking to anyone that gets pissed at FTL. It was amazing. Both hose were no mods, no cheating.
Ah, thought so. Wait 'till you start playing CE on Hard. You will cry a lot and It will laugh at you recommended system layout. Laugh hard and loudly
Anyway,
chapeau bas to
Nicb1, for finding the cause and solution! That was amazing, dude.
Sleeper, in case it got missed in the grant debugging sessions, I've posted quite large bug report day before yesterday, like... Ten pages ago. There was also a guy that claim Defense Drone II can't shot swarms, while Defense Drone I can. No that I suggest you're unaware or anything, it would be just nice if those reports wouldn't be in vain, due to accidental overlook
BTW, I'm the only one, who think that CE&co, in it's current state, would benefit much from proper bug reporting system, like, bugzilla? You know, the one, where maintainer can acknowledge getting report by one click, or ask for more details/comments, bugs can be assigned, etc? Just say a word, and I can spend some time setting it up for CE
