Can you kill a enemy in the med bay?

Sometimes, when fighting a enemy while boarding, they retreat to the medbay to heal themselves. It is worth going after them to finish them off? Consider 1v1 in a level 1 Medbay.

I'm not asking possible ways to kill people on the medbay nor possible tactics, but if the melee attack damage can overcome the healing of a level 1 Medbay, and under which circumstances.

YES.

It is possible but not under all circumstances.

with following "tactics" you can succeed:

• using racial bonus (e.g. mantis vs. zoltan).
• outmanning them.
• you need to have good melee skills.

anyway, success depends on their level of the medbay.

Considering a 1vs1 in a lvl1 medbay, a trained mantis should already suffice.

I have already done this, sometimes I also finish them with my ships weapons, just aiming on their medbay. Even if the volley would not disable the medbay, each shot does damage to all personnel in the room. Setting the medbay on fire is a good tactic, too.
