Clint is obviously using a Pre-igniter in his gunfights, though.

Actually, I see a new ship-naming theme forming:
Stealth A "The Good"
Stealth B "The Bad"
Stealth C "The Ugly"

Haha, that comment made my day. In honour of your post, I will try to remember naming my Stealth ships accordingly :-D

Actually rebels don't count as dangers for the achievement, at least they didn't used to in the old version and I've not heard it changed. In theory, you could go back and up, and then up to what is currently a danger and "only" have to worry about fighting the rebels twice. Or 3 times.

Or, because you're in sector 3, just resolve to get the achievement the next time :)

Going for Loss of Cabin Pressure without knowing about the bug.

All that crew shuffling and oxygen balancing for nothing :cry:

New one:
I was playing a mod ship, it was equipped with a zoltan shield, and artemis, and burst laser 3.
On sector 3, I come across an autoscout. The special combat beacon effect had it hack my shields (Not like with a hacking drone, one of the text fillers) It had 2 anti ship drones and 2 ion guns. I say
"well I'm fine I have the zoltan shield and a pre-igniter" I shoot off the artemis at its shields (Dang it 1 damage artemis, that thing has two shields) Then the burst laser. I get it down, but only shileds are damaged. The drones overpower my super shield finally, then without normal shields they hack away at my systems, starting a fir in the weapons and taking out the oxygen. A shot takes out the pilot with the FTL half charged. I wait for it to get repaired and the FTL charges again. The fire has spread, so I get the guy who was fighting it out into the medbay and then the door system to prevent it spreading. Another shot takes out the pilot. It repairs and I shoot off another volley at the Auto scout. Still doesnt kill. The FTL is charged finally, so with 7 hull points when I WAS at full I jump to the exit beacon then the next sector. Luckily, one of the connecting beacons was a store. To repair all of the damage, I needed 63 scrap. I only had 62! WHY FTL WHY :cry:
