Best thing i got? 3 Ions and 1 Attack Drone II, and 2 I, i think on the Engi ship.... on sector 7, i decided not to move on, and killed about 20 or so Rebels without taking a single damage... ><

I find that finding super strong weapons in sector 1 tends to gimp you more than not as you focus on getting your weapon systems up as quickly as possible to use them. It's usually more effective in the long run if you just sell it at the first shop you jump to to kick start your other systems.
