The first hit killed my shield, 2nd my O2 and set my half ship on fire. I shot 4 missiles and all miss. Then, the bastard killed my Crew and the captain was alone in the medbay, all doors open with few health. yeah, the medbay was the only room, which wasn't red or on fire like clambush's pic above. And i forgot, that i can pause the game. Decent 56 points.
And yes, i watched most vids out there, so i knew nearly all mechanics.
My first run(only played normal) and I died on the first jump as well! Mother-father mercenary. I had watched some LP's and live streams so yeah... ::face palm::
On my second run I got to Sector 6 I think; so not too bad. And I've been playing at work

Fourth run (still easy mode) last sector, stage 3!
I'd have done better if I had enough firepower to reliably overwhelm a four-layer shield, but somehow I ended up with a burst laser 2, heavy ion, fire beam, and system bomb (with a missile shortage) - no offensive drones. The fire beam actually helped to set up a no-enemy-crew situation, which put me probably surviving-one-volley away from victory. It also hurt that I had to rush through a nebula sector because my hull was shot to pieces.
like clambush's pic above. And i forgot, that i can pause the game. Decent 56 points.
