can you make last boss easy then now? iam not a noob but i cant kill him on some layots and ships its very hard. sometime its impossible.

game not balanced

The game is very hard, but not unbalanced*. The final boss is - once you get used to it - one of the easiest parts of the game.

Every time you get beat, pay attention to how you got beat and figure out how to counteract it. This is easier with the boss than it is with the rest of the game, because the boss always does the same thing each time, so if you got beat in a certain way, you'll continually get beaten that way until you figure out a way around it.

*EDIT: I should clarify: Some things are harder than others in this game, and some ships are easier to win with than others. In this way, I suppose, it's not balanced. However, that is intentional and gives you more play options.

Here are two protips which I've found are good enough to beat the end boss in almost every case:
[spoiler]
* As soon as possible, teleport two dudes onto the flagship's missile launching thing to disable it. It's the middle-right one.
* When the flagship launches a dangerous barrage at you, immediately pause the game so that you can use stealth and put full energy into your engines to dodge it. (Don't waste stealth on things that your shields could handle otherwise. Save it for things like the missile barrage, the swarm of drones, and stuff like that.)
[/spoiler]

There. Now you should win.

lol. if you not find best weapon and drones you die at 2 fight with boss, you can teleport mans only at weapon but you cant capture ship if not destroy shields and crew with a lot of rockets. enemy drones destroy you if you cant remove enemy shield. if you weapon not deal 5 hits you die. i beat game 10 times. better i kill 3 best enemy ships. sry for my english iam not f*** american

Tips: Cloak only on power surges in 2 and 3.

Try finding the right strategies.

Never use missiles if you can avoid it. (I.E. if you have a choice between and artemis missile launcher and a burst laser mark 1, go with the bl1.

I've beaten the final boss with 5 laser shots (and no teleporter or drones, or other weapons). I've beaten him with NO offensive weaponry at all (3 brave Mantises died that day). I've beaten him with lasers, and teleporters, and drones, and missiles, and bombs. I've beaten him without a cloak. Without shields, even. You don't need the best weapon, but you need sometimes to scrape together a good ship with the slight pickings that come your way.

And sometimes (though rarely) you simply cannot win. Those are my favorite runs.

Without shields sounds pretty extreme to me. I imagine you must have been sporting some pretty serious weaponry to win that one. Because I reckon if you hadn't knocked out pretty much all their weapons by the time your first cloak runs out, you'd be in a fair bit of trouble.
