Actually, for boarding, you would want to smash the Medbay the first wave of people you fight makes a run for it. I've cleaned the flagship with Human + Mantis and Laser spam just yesterday. The difference in fighting ability actually worked to my advantage. This means that the one fighting my Mantis will leave first, giving me time to finish the other one with 3x DPS before the next guy comes in.

I only had 8 shots worth of normal lasers, but I would have preferred a Hull II laser, since it's easier to time, and has good breach chance preventing them from fixing it for quite some time.

This is pretty obvious, but with a two-man Tele-pad, fight only in a two man room. You really don't want to be outnumbered.

Additionally, you should consider the phase in which you slaughter the Flagship crew.

Phase I:
* Easier to render non-threatening, so you can focus your efforts on the crew
* Has Doors 3 and Cloak 2, which can be very hazardous to boarders

Phase II:
* No Doors or Cloak, so your boarders have more mobility
* Drone swarm is a constant threat
* The Boarding Drone can wreck your ship without your fighting-capable crew on board

Phase III:
* Surely you are joking, Mr. Feynmann
