Oh tell me you dropped the hull beam, and had a 4-man teleporter full of Rockmen.

I did! And with 4 Rocks, yes, but only 2-man teleporter (it's Rock_B).

It's a pic from '12, when at time I just began playing Rock_B because I started getting bored of Mantis_B and wanted a bit of flavor to go along with boarding.

Then I got bored of Telepad— stop buying it and relying on just firebeam if I find it to 'capture' ships ...

... Then I dropped even that altogether and just stick with Fire bomb.

Don't know if this is a favorite loadout, but I recently won Normal in the Mantis A with my offensive weapons being the starting Small Bomb and Basic Laser, plus a Burst 1 I bought in sector 2-3, desperate for something to kill AI with, and an Anti-Ship Drone. I hit 4 stores in sector 7-8, but all of them were aug/crew/drones. Went in to stage 2 of the flagship with 5 missiles, somehow finished off the main crew using only 3.

Sounds like a win very much on the edge. And on normal too. Nice1

I've never had this, and would love to have this happen, but four Heavy Lasers Mk. I on the Kestrel B. It's the laser weapon the Engi B starts with. HL Mk.I has all the same requirements as the Basic Lasers that the Kestrel B starts with (one power, 10 sec charge time), but does twice the damage. Imagine being able to do 8 damage in a single salvo!

Anyway, on loadouts I've actually had: Two ion weapons plus Beam Drone. Lols were had as I stunlocked their weapons and shields while the Beam Drone set fire to EVERYTHING.
