Lost 2 crew due to forgetting to turn on the medbay when trying to medbay-tank. And in the following battle lost 2 man boarding party due to a wild artillery beam appearing Everything went downhill since.

I don't see how that's the worst playthrough unless you swapped out your Clone Bay for the Medbay. Because I do that all the time with the Lanius B, destroying enemy ships with the crew still onboard. How do I heal the Lanius otherwise?

My worst one I believe was when I was doing well then I ended up in a late-game Abandoned Sector where the Exit was located down a single path of beacons at the start... and not knowing this I went towards a Quest Beacon and found out I would have to jump through the entire Rebel fleet about ten times just to get to the exit.

I just said "Nope, I'm outta here!" and restarted :(

And know that Abandoned Sectors are unsafe at any point. Whether it's Sector 2 or Sector 7.

I was in rock c, playing on CE. On the second beacon, I ran into a pirate with a single ion gun. he also had hacking. he hacked my shields (did i mention it was an asteroid field) I died, bc he ioned my shields a bunch.
I goof off on superluminal. If I make something cool, the I post it.
