Since the Slug ship is the only one still to be unlocked I've been scouring nebulas whenever possible.

Last game looked really promising:


Good news: Yes, this time I did find the Slug home sector (plus several Slug controlled sectors).
Bad news: Didn't actually come across the required event so still no Slug ship.

Damn RNG...

The run was rather amusing in other ways though, as fighting with 3 Ion Blasts and a Halberd Beam made short work of any enemies.
The boss fight was really really close though as I had scored neither drone systems, cloaking nor teleporter by that time - and my armament was still the same 3x Ion Blast + Halberd Beam. By the end of phase 2 my ship resembled swiss cheese, with holes in 5 separate rooms. Even that proved advantageous though as the enemy crew teleporting in during phase 3 happened to end up in one the rooms with a hole and didn't make it through the doors in time to do any damage.
Even without cloaking I had high enough evade and that a lot of the enemy volleys didn't even get past my full shields and to my great surprise I had about 20% hull left when the boss finally fell.
Yay!

You gotta love moments like this. Good luck with the hunt.

Wait, you didn't take the time to repair the hull breaches before jumping to the next stage?

Didn't really see any need to spend all that time - sealing one room, healing the guys, sealing the next room...

There was only phase 3 remaining at that point and my crew would be staying in the intact rooms anyway. Plus I was pretty sure I'd die first as I only had something like 33% hull left
