I had 6 Mantis and 2 Engi. I had 2 weapons (1 Hermes and 1 Burst Laser Mk1). I was completely ready for the flagship, I thought as I came across an Engi Bomber (also in an asteroid belt). This is where the TWIST happens. So I thought OK, this should be easy, just kill everyone inside. Now those who are new, the Mantis Cruiser Type B has a 4-Man teleporter, instead of the normal 2-man. So I sent 4 of my Mantis in, leaving my 2 Mantis and my 2 Engi left. I had also sent my Boarding Drone, but I soon deactivated it once I teleported. So I teleported to the weapons bay, thinking I could kill the weapons guy, while back in the ship I use my weapons to use. The enemy crew had died, but I still had 4 loading seconds to wait for. But here's the bad part: not only was the ship filled with holes (making it hard for me to breath), but I was in an ASTEROID BELT. The Bomber had 2 Hull points left, and I still had 3 loading seconds. I nearly cried
The Engi Bomber had exploded right as my teleporter had recharged, leaving my 4 Mantis doomed. I had to survive the rest of the game with 2 Mantis and 2 Engi. I did end up dying by the Rebel Flagship.
