Note: The Anti-bio beam requires the line to be exactly on top of the crew member to damage them, in case you might think you only need to hit the rooms they are in.

Not true. You only need to hit the cell that they occupy, which are the little grid blocks that rooms are divided into. This, with careful aiming, makes it possible to hit three guys in the same 4x4 room despite the fact the are arranged in an "L" formation.

One way to make getting this achievement easier is to hit boarders that have just warped back to their ship.

really? That is strange, I've always tried just hitting the cells they are in, but they never take damage.

No escape: Trap 4 enemy crewman using the crystal being's lockdown ability or a lockdown bomb

I have never seen a lockdown bomb, but I used by crystal being's lockdown ability to get this achievement. Its hard having 4 people in the same room, but you should find instances that have boarders. These are usually common in Pirate controlled sectors. Once you have 4 boarders, send your crystal into the room that they are in, and use the lockdown ability by pressing the lockdown button next to the crystal's name.

I just got this on the Crystal Cruiser B. I teleported the 3 initial Crystal crewmen and one Rock crewman onto an enemy ship, started fighting two enemy crewmembers, used Lockdown to prevent them from fleeing... and I got the achievement.

So, I guess that trapping four of your own crewmen with Lockdown is good enough, somehow? Might be a bug.

I managed to legimately get the "ion 4 systems" achievement using only the ion II and a heavy ion. I also had a fully leveled guy manning weapons and an automated re-loader. It took quite a while of trying but I finally managed to get 4 systems ioned at the same time for a tiny fraction of a second.

They are used by crystal ships in secret sector and can be bought in a shop there. They don't do any personnel damage, system damage, don't cause fire or breaches, they just lock the room down exactly like a crystal alien. Extremely rare and extremely useless.

They aren't entirely useless, as they would be helpful in killing the crew of the boss. However that is redundant as you'd only ever have one if you already had a crystal crewmember, which can reliably pull that off anyway with enough patience.

I've also seen the same bug where you get the lockdown 4 enemies when there weren't 4 enemies in the room, but 4 of my own crew.

It's a shame that lockdown bombs are so rare. I think it's a really cool mechanic that increases your options in combat (both offensive and defensive) but if you want to play around with it, you more or less have to use the secret cruiser.

Re "The Guns...they've stopped": It's probably mentioned already, but teleporters and cloaking devices on cooldown count as being ioned. I believe only the large Rock Assault has both.

Helo everyone.
I have a problem with achievement Givin' her all she's got Captain! With the Zoltan Cruiser.

"The max number of power for a ship is 25 without zoltans, so to complete this achievement it is required to obtain another zoltan besides the 3 starting ones. Also, this requires alot of scrap, since it is needed to put 29 power in systems (subsystems - doors, sensors and piloting don't count). "
Game version 1.01
Uploaded 2 pics, i got all requiements, but no achievement.
I even tryed to move all 4 Zoltans in all possible rooms and nothing.
Me sad.

The automatically powered subsystems don't count. Move the pilot elsewhere.

updated to last version 1.03.1
i tryed again but can't get this achievement, tryed moving the 4 Zoltans in all rooms and all possible combinations.
no achievement, this is bugged

You have to allocate 29 power to systems, in your sceenshot that would mean activating both drones and all your systems to full power.
