Welp. Shut down for repairs again. This time it is after 3 in the afternoon and I'm still shut down. I'm usually in position to pick up my next load by now but today I haven't even started. This was AFTER I had to wait nearly 45 minutes to get my load information, mind.

Two hours later. They haven't even looked at the truck yet, and my dispatcher (not my normal one, this is a temporary fill-in) still won't let me just go home already.

Mantis B run is going somewhat well. Have three max-level mantis boarders and a full crew for the essential systems, a cloak, and a couple of bomb weapons (mostly for knocking out pesky enemy medbays). Plus a chain ion which I can't use yet. The only problem is that I can't do anything at all to automated ship except flee. I also don't know if I can do anything to the flagship.

Still, right now all I care about is unlocking the C layout.
You should get any weapon that can deal free hull damage, and I mean any weapon.  Doesn't matter if it's a beam, a laser, a heavy laser, flak or a drone.  Doesn't matter if it's a shitty overcosted weapon.  As long as it can deal some damage you can easily beat the flagship after killing off its systems.

If not then you can still win, but you'd have to sacrifice one of your guys to deal the final point of damage in each round.

This also has the added bonus of turning auto-ships into big bags of free scrap, since they have no way to defend against you teleporting in and destroying their systems (assuming you have a level 2 teleporter and you only send in two of your guys at any one time).

I actually scored a win with the Mantis B today in fact, since you have bombs and a cloak too you can probably use basically the same tactic of bombing their medbay then wiping out the crew in phase one:

I forgot to mention, but one of the bombs is a fire bomb. Assuming I can kill off enough crew members, I can set a room on fire and let that deal the final damage point each round.

Uh, freeform? Goblin B should not have been at full HP. Both Griff and Fezzina shot it a couple of turns ago.

Probably should have picked something else then. Don't we still need to do voting and stuff?

Pushing forward with half the group paralyzed (seriously, OP) and no active healers strikes me as a terrible idea, but Fezzina already did. Whatcha gonna do, Blade?

You're assuming that you folks will be able to kill the bosses (lets not mince words, these are legit bosses) while simultaneously holding off entire armies of flyers :P

Doubt it. Either some sort of event comes up (bosses are actually friends and join you, Tiron manages to teleport everyone, etc) or Haspen is so desperate to satiate his bloodlust that he'll keep throwing more enemies at you until you fall to sheer weight of numbers.

((Don't forget I have combat advantage from sliding the bear last turn.))

Move up next to the bear
Hit it with Five Storms!
Free action: Flurry of blows and slide the bear towards the toughest nearby ally.

This is the tale of a small-town sheriff. His primary concerns are making sure the town's cast of quirky characters stay out of trouble and trying to impress his girlfriend, a local rancher. But one day, out of the blue, a big-city man claiming to be an astronaut shows up and quickly impresses the small-town bumpkins. The sheriff doesn't buy it, and what starts as a relatively light-hearted rivalry between them quickly grows dark when the sheriff attempts to murder the astronaut by shoving him off a high ledge. The sheriff, narrowly escaping a lynching, flees the town and comes across the battered, but still alive, astronaut. The two fight and argue before being captured by a sadist with a passion for torture. While in his lair, the big-city man discovers that he never actually was an astronaut, and the sheriff realizes that he let his jealousy get the best of him. By rallying the sadist's previous victims, the two manage to defeat him and become fire-forged friends. The two barely avoid getting blown to smithereens and return home in time for Christmas. Toy Story

((Did you forget my character's name or something? ???
Not that I blame you, I haven't been active. Just almost nothing Weston can do that some other character can't do better and it feels like we're making very little progress.))

Jesus Christ, even on Easy mode I'm getting screwed over repeatedly.

Like right now. Decide to try and get Federation Cruiser C, start in a nebula. VERY FIRST JUMP, plasma storm. Weapons down, shields down, I reroute power as much as I can to deal with the rebel scout pummeling me with heavy and single lasers. I get shields up, but two shots in a row manage to connect to the shield generator and set it on fire. Since I can't run the shields I turn the O2 back on. Very next hit takes the O2 out. Heavy laser destroys the engines. Artillery laser finally fires at this point, disabling enough of the scout's systems that I manage to bring it down.

25% of my hull gone in a single jump. I can't think of a single way I could have avoided taking so much damage; at the start of the fight my shields and engines were at maximum power. Just pure bad luck was all it was.

AND ONCE AGAIN: Shields disabled by event, attacked by minibeam and beam drone simultaneously. There is absolutely nothing you can do to defend against that combination short of cloaking, and I haven't found a store selling that yet.
