Repeatedly mind control the remaining Mantis faster than he can repair the oxygen, until he suffocates. Counts as a boarding win so you get the higher rewards.
How do you manage tactics like these? Whenever I try killing of the crew by different means for higher rewards (i.e. hacking oxygen to suffocate crew) I take quite a bit of damage in the process: Either I keep targeting weapons, but then the ship is usually destroyed before the crew is dead, or I don't and take more damage then the scrap gain is worth.
Or do you only apply these tactics agains ships that are unable to damage you at all ?
