So I've played quite a bit of the Beta thus far.

My impression is as follows:
Greatest item to get is recovery 15% to scrap arm in the first sector... If you get it by then or the 2nd then you stand a good chance of making it to final fight. Also, most amazing item if the pre-lighter ( it starts all weapons ready to fire @ start of fight... makes huge difference ).

Engi ship, nice to start with ions... but... have serious issues later stages with that ship having 3 weapon mounts really inhibits it.

Final boss fight... power surge effect 2nd fight... massive numbers of drones... I blew up drone control on the ship but the drones kept fighting me... If you take out the drone control shouldn't the drones have stopped?

mass drones are not linked to drone room only the 3 it begins with.

btw beat boss on normal with engi ship, no scrap arm, no pre-ignnitor they are nice but not essential

Yeah, devs, taking out relevant systems to take out the superweapons on the Flagship would be nice.

3 burst lazers level 1 or 2 and 3 anti-ship drones. I have yet to find a level 3 burst lazer on the engi ship. If you can get a drone arm early it can save you money on buying drone parts and lets you dominate with 2 anti ship drones until the higher tier sectors.
