After a long, loooong pause with FTL, I decided to play 'just one game for lulz', with Torus.
SUDDENLY VICTORY

USS Everest had lots of drones on it's way + discarded the ions early to buy heavy and burst lasers. I had def.drone mk2 but had to sell it for scrap so I could buy fuel. It was clumsy and cumbersome anyways.
Oh, and during the bossfight, I had autofire off. Timed laser spam to shields room caused breaches, fires and hilarity. First phase was a chore, thanks to the cloak. Boarding drone from second part didn't got far thanks to unlucky boarding point (upper airlock) and maxed out blast doors. Third phase was cakewalk.
My 3rd win with yet another different ship. Now I'm left with Vortex, Red-Tail, Nesasio and Fed.Cruiser to go

I need to find moar ships... Oh right - which of those four ships I mentioned would be the 'easiest' to go through game? Red-Tail?
