My Seventh Sector Fail #3

[MrFawkes]

It happened. That's right, another seventh sector fail has happened. And as always, it's another different event. This time I went on the zoltan B. Before I start this seventh sector fail story, be sure to check out my other seventh sector fails.

Here it goes. Enjoy.

Again, standard day on the zoltan B ship. I was almost at the end of the sector, and it happened. I was in the Slug Homworlds, meaning #1: There is nebula, which means a crap-ton of lag and #2: There are a lot of mantis bombers and scouts. I was 2 jumps away from the exit sector and I ran into a mantis bomber. The event was that event that says "They teleport to your deck. You don't know how they managed to get past your Zoltan Shield!" You know who teleported? 2 MANTIS. Plus, they teleported 2 mantis manually, which means 4 mantis breaking down my doors at once. My weaponry was not that good, but I still am able to get rid of 1 hull each shots. Here's where the lag gets me. You see, I had 3 Zoltan (The starter ones) and 2 engi (stores). None of them are good fighters. I used the trick where you open the doors to suffocate the mantis crew. Of course I sent my 3 zoltan to the medbay and my 2 engi, who are on the other side of where the mantis are, into the engines.

I clicked on my ion blast ( one of my weapons ) and targeted there shield, while the air inside my ship is slowly disappearing.

Then, the lag decided it was a perfect timing to slap me in the face. Right as half of the ship was deoxygenated, my lag made me hit the "open all doors" button. I thought "uh oh" so I went to close it but the mantis bomber had targeted his missiles to my door system, shutting it off. Then, the mantis had destroyed the oxygen system. Right as the mantis bomber and all 4 mantis had died, all I could do was leave my entire crew in the medbay, leaving 2 engi's out. They died, of course if you do simple math, meaning I have 3 zoltan left.

As all of my seventh sector fails go, I died. The scout before the flagship took out all my systems, and I wouldn't do anything about it.

*sigh* I know you're probably sick of listening to me ranting, but I had to let it out. Stay tuned for #4 I guess?

Use the Pause, Luke...

Anyway... You can try go into the option and change the 'Dynamic Background' to 'Disable' ... Thing may get smoother.
