All Slug ships automatically repair hull breaches due to Slug Repair Gel augmentation.
Some large Slug ships can have level ten weapons or shields (possibly both). The larger ships can also be difficult to board: they often have a large number of crew, blast doors, and Slug crew are immune to mind control.
Although late-game Slug ships can be tough, earlier Slug sectors can be easy and profitable because there are lots of "flying coffins" - the smallest Slug ships with isolated oxygen room. Destroying their oxygen will (eventually) result in a crew kill. This does not apply to pirate versions of Slug ships.
