Your wierd Flagship victory and deafets

[HarkintheMantis]

Hello World this is my first topic and i want to start with something traditionalish like "Your Fuck you ftl Moments"
So i am doing weird flagship fights and victorys and all that stuff. I will start the hopefully new tradiationish thing with my weirdest.

I was flying the Shrike. I hade made it to sector 8 and had a good run. I was mauling the flagship with my lanius boarders despite having a mantis and crystal (#descent to Darkness # Great mod) i also had my Light Chain Vulcan (#CE) killing the crew. And then the crew is all dead. i All happy that i won and then i was reminded that the flagship has a AI. and my lanius just don't give a shit about no O2 . Soon after i won by a shot with the fiery plasma. Right as the boarders beamed out. NOTE
The boarders were awesome. I will always remember Yin And Yang. Because i have a screen shot but lost it to steam
STEAM!!!!

My craziest Flagship fight was with my own modded ship, the Potential.

You can watch it here. I've jumped in the link to 6:00, when I first jump there. However, the problems really start at about 10:00

Oh I'll just tell it. I showed up at the Flagship with 5 total shots (2 basics and 3 heavies) as my ONLY OFFENSE. No teleporter. No offensive drones. This was before AE so no hacking or mind control, but I also didn't have to deal with them on the flagship.

I muddled through the first phase with little trouble. The Heavies' ability to start fires helped a lot (I think. I hadn't upgraded scanners either), but the problems started in the 2nd phase, with the drones.

In the 2nd phase, I could never land all 5 shots no matter how many times I shot. And my 2 defense drones couldn't shoot ANYTHING so was continually getting peppered. I got down to 2 hull points when - finally - I knocked his shield down to 3. Then 2. Then shields were gone. Then I destroyed the flagship. With 2 hull points after doing NOTHING to it for about 4 minutes.

Then for the finale, I snuck around and hit a repair station so I'd have 17 hull when I took on phase 3. Turns out, I didn't need it. Phase 3 went down like a pinata, and I won the game with all 17 of those hull points.
