here's an overview, of course this probably won't help anyone else since there really no way to replicate with the lovely randomness of this game
Using Engi circle ship, manage to get 3 mantis crew combined with remote healing made dealing with boarders very easy.
didn't do so well on weapons laser beam I (2 x 1dmg) 2power and II (3x1dmg) 2 power and a Hull Bomb (3dmg plus high breech) 2 power.
was very conservative with missles and drones until I got augment drone arm and then I used drones heavily ending up with 2 anti-ship drone I, and 1 defender drone I.
went into sector 10 with around 30 missles and 28 drones and 15 fuel
cloak 3
teleport 1
engines 5
shield 6
heal 2
O2 2
drones 6
sensors 2
helm 1
doors 1
basically cloak, wait for breech bomb, throw 2 drones and breech bomb at shields, let the bomb go off followup with 5 shots from the two lasers, then another laser volley and hopefully shields 1 or below so drones start picking it apart, breech bomb to take out the triple missle or kill a bunch of crew in shield room.
round 2
same plan, got lucky the drone swarm was nearly 100% beam drones and couldn't crack my shield which went down just before they vanished *phew*. breech went on drone system after shields were low
round 3
NO cloak, send out 2 drones to take out that hard shield, 1 volley from lasers and then breech bomb the shield and then more lasers and breech on shield. super weapon goes off CLOAK ! MISSsssssssss smiles all round. keep hitting shields getting the upper hand going to win ... oh no super weapon again, cloak still in cooldown 2 only 11 hull left , plz plz plz goes off I breech bomb last remaining weapon port , my hull is shredded but holds (3 hull left) fires everywhere BUT BOOM down she goes ,
Score 4108 ,
not bad for a run through trying to unlock mantis cruiser
which can't for the life of me do
