Recently I unlocked the Rock B ship "Shivan". Its a blast to play, and on one of my first runs with it got incredibly lucky- I had two Ion II's, Fire Bomb, Fire Beam, 8 rock crewmembers, it was laughably easy at that point. Get their shields down, set their entire ship on fire, warp in the Rock boarders. It was only recently that I discovered that if a crewmember is fighting an enemy, he can't repair or more importantly extinguish fires, and that the computer will flee if fire will kill them soon. This makes it pretty easy to shut down enemy crews since they can't control the fires and more often than not end up suffocating trapped in the only room not on fire somewhere . Its a fun ship to play though to be fair having two Ion IIs and the power to use them + other weapons is a cakewalk generally.

2 Ion 2's and a Fire Beam is truly heaven. You don't even need to teleport in just light their entire ship on fire and once the shields are down ion anything that they manage to fix.
