- Getting doors to at least 2 makes suffocating enemy boarding parties a viable option, if not the preferred option if you're not going for a teleporting crew-killer strategy for your own offense. Why divert your crew away from their jobs to ward off invaders when the empty void of space can do your dirty work for you? Just remember that boarding drones can't be suffocated, so consider targeting the enemy drone control if one's being a pain in your ass. | - Getting doors to at least 2 makes suffocating enemy boarding parties a viable option, if not the preferred option if you're not going for a teleporting crew-killer strategy for your own offense.

- On the flip side, when you see a missile launcher on an enemy ship, keep it disabled as much as possible. Enemies don't care about conserving ammo and will gladly take advantage of their ability to ignore your shields and make your life more difficult and/or short. | - On the flip side, when you see a missile launcher on an enemy ship, keep it disabled as much as possible.
