	A very dangerous risk to battle is ''not knowing what the battlefield looks like,'' and who knows what ~~Syndicate~~ ships have in them! Traps? Drugged up crew? BOLOGNA SANDWICHES?! The fact of the matter is you and your team have to keep your eyes open and scanning everything and anything, mention blind corners and areas that could be used to stage an ambush. Listening is also key to awareness; maybe you heard a defender slip around the corner, now you know they're there! Of course, you could just go full lethal and kill everything that moves and get it over with, but perhaps using non-lethal methods could <s>ENCOURAGE ROLEPLAY JUST DO IT</s> yield a new crew member? Or living ammo for the MAC, up to you.		A very dangerous risk to battle is ''not knowing what the battlefield looks like,'' and who knows what enemy ships have in them! Traps? Drugged up crew?

			When the defenders spawn, the captain starts with an uplink with 20 telecrystals. Each additional defender starts with five telecrystals to give their captain.

	You're going to blow up, no matter what, but it's better to take a few names and keep their grubby capitalist hands from touching your equipment! Suppression - firing on a position where the enemy is believed to be - will keep boarders from advancing on you, buying you time to do other things, or move elsewhere to stage a better defensive. Maybe you don't have much to defend with, so use guerrilla tactics: hide in closets, dark corners, anywhere that they might not investigate too well, then attack from there. Leave interesting items around for them to wander towards, right into a trap. ~~Maybe you can even sneak onto~~ the ~~other ship, somehow?~~		You're going to blow up, no matter what, but it's better to take a few names and keep their grubby capitalist hands from touching your equipment!
