Any way to lock your ship doors?

[Ohio9]

Hey new player to the game here. I was wondering, is there any way to lock your doors when intruders board your ship? It's really annoying how they can just travel around freely.

On one occation, I tried to move my crew into one room and then depressurize the rest of the ship in order to starve the intruders of oxygen, but they just freely moved into the secured rooms and kept tearing the place up.

It seems absurd that in this super-futuristic ship, the doors can't be locked.

Yeah. There's a door subsystem you can put points into just like your shields, weapons etc which will require boarders to bust them down before progressing to the next room. They'll also slow how quickly fires spread.

Okay I see it now. Thanks a lot. Still it's kind of silly your ship doesn't come with lockable doors as standard issue. I guess door technology badly regressed over the years in this universe.

Also, if you have crew to spare, you can place them in the door subsystem to upgrade it by one level as long as they are in there. This can push the level of the door system above the usual maximum of 3. Same goes for the sensor system as well.

Just mouse over anything in the game and a tooltip will pop-pup, which you can read. A lot in the game is explained this way.

Also, do the tutorial attentively if you haven't. It will save you many hours of time wasting.

Ok, good to know. Also manned doors raises the level by 1.

and (this also applies to censors) if its the final level and you pilot it it will upgrade into an even more powerful one
