Even helps pump some air into rooms with a breach if nearby doors are also open. Cheap to boot. If you're adventurous you can depower it during combat to steal extra power and only occasionally pump extra air when it drops too low for comfort.

A criminally neglected upgrade. Lvl3 is not so good because of the price.
I did have Level 2 Oxygen, but, lucky me, I got hit with Breach missiles in both my engine and oxygen rooms.

Also those times when the same room gets firebombed twice in a row and your crewman dies to the second blast halfway out the door.

This is actually the opposite of a "Fuck you FTL", but today, for the first time, in two consecutive runs, I unlocked Zoltan Cruiser A, made it to the third stage of the Rebel Flagship fight, and unlocked Zoltan Cruiser B.

It's nice to have a run where things go well for a change.

Of course, what else. :mrgreen:
It's like when you play a stealth cruiser and all the enemies you run into have Mini-Beams and Beam Drones. What else... :roll:

"Oh I see you have a cloak and a Glaive Beam in side-by-side rooms. Whatever shall I do with this BEAM DRONE!?" (It helps if you read it like Dr Evil)

You know they put those rooms like that on purpose.

They board from an unseen transport and then the ship you're fighting. What is really cheating is teleporting past your Zoltan Shield. :x

I wonder if it's possible to make a mod that give a blue option for those with Zoltan Shields, or if it's hardcoded?

5 boarders is not as bad as it could be. Try 2 Rockmen from a previous ship that i fled, plus an additional 3 from an event that bypasses the Zoltan shield, PLUS 2 Mantis aboard the new enemy, waiting for the supershield to be knocked down.

Ugh, RNG what are you doing to me??! Image Image Image

I was doing my 1st run on the Bulwark (rock ship) and I was doing fantastic. 5/8 crew (3 rocks 2 engi) and I had found a burst laser 3 while clearing out a ship. I was close to powering it when the game threw 6 mantis invaders on my ship. Seriously? They destroyed everything and I died. I was very sad.
