Alright, I played about 20 games before making a call. But this game is definitely reliant on a ton of luck. I can be kicking ass, and run into a ship that just simply trounces me. I just had a ship with 3 shield bars, 2 lasers, 1 missile launcher, one anti ship drone, and a auto healing ship upgrade that heals my guys if they get hurt. I rolled all they way to the second to last system. Then I hit a Rock fighter. 3 perfect shots knocked out my guns, shield, and O2. 3 Rock boarders easily killed my crew members, even with them being auto healed. All within about 10 seconds. BULLSHIT!!!!
There are some definite balance issues that need to be fixed. Oh, and this was on the EASY difficulty level.
Sums up everything very nicely:
Getting screwed for completely random and "unfair" reasons are hallmarks of the roguelike genre. Learn to enjoy the unexpected ways you get completely fucked over.
Best tactic BY FAR for my was one I used tonight, you want to grab a teleporter early on, grab 2 insect team mates who do increase damage.
Oh, and honestly you should never use auto-fire, at least once you have more than one weapon anyway.
My first boss kill I didn't use this method but now I use it all the time. I will open up and take out the shields or weapons to get the crew fixing one area, hit them again to get some damage on the crew, then beam my insects in to take them down. Only problem I have had with this method is forgetting to turn off auto fire and making sure not to damage the opposing ship to badly and loosing your boarding team due to fire/asteroid damaging the ship.
Having the Engi ship with the Ion cannons is fun, especially when you just ion their O2 system and let them suffocate. Another fun way to get max scrap out of battles.
That's a good idea, although somewhat more lengthy battles? Can you speed it up with weapons which are more likely to pierce the hull?

Asphyxiation takes a little extra time simply because the crew members don't start to suffocate until the O2 level drops to critical levels, then their HP slowly drops. You can speed it up by firebombing their medbay so they run in there trying to put out the fire and are busy repairing it, and if you disable their shields targeting the room with any other weapons while they are in there trying to repair helps too.
I wonder how this is to play on a windows tablet like the upcoming Surface Pro or some of the Clover Trail based tablets....

Paid $2..49, got into the 2nd sector, lost 1 crew member along the way, got boarded by 4 rebels who went on to destroy my ship even though I opened all the airlocks. OxyGen (get it? Oxygen Generator!) got destroyed, crew croaked. Experience let me wondering WTF actually happened. Curious to try again.
