But I just kept playing. I got a few crewmembers, a human who I placed in the piloting to take more Zoltan advantage, an Engi who I used for repairing, and finally a Mantis against boarders. That Mantis also got an Anti-Personnel Drone as backup. I purchased Cloaking and raised my Engine to max plus the Shields to 3 layer. Last but not least I did some upgrade to my weapons, so I controlled 4 at a time. In the end the extra weapons that I used were S. Bomb and Breach I guess, so I thought a lot on my tactics. Luckily the Zoltan Shield kept out Mantis boarders until I got rid of their shield and Ionized their warp, and the rest of the ships did little damage to me. Luckily the game was generous, so I had a Defense Drone Mark I at the end too.
Flagship Phase 2 was the point where I usually died. Once I got the Kestrel through there, but had 1 HULL left and the flagship blocked the path to the repair point, and even as I tried to play defensively, I died. Now the Noether did a wonderful job, when I saw that the enemy only has crewmembers on the weapons left, I smelled victory. Kept the Cloaking for the big attack, and my health was is yellow when he exploded. Plus I think this was the first ship where I lost no crewmember over time, so I'm really satisfied with it. The score is not outstanding, but I want to share my happiness, so here's a picture from the Noether in my Stats.
