Engi B, can I win with this setup?

[Fadedsun]

Hello forum goers! I'm recently new to the boards, but not to FTL. I'm finally trying my hand at a run on normal with the Engi B ship, and after numerous failures I've finally reached a comfortable point, but I don't know if I'll be able to defeat the rebel flagship. I believe I'm on Sector 6 right now. I'm really hoping to find an Anti-Ship I by the time I reach the end, but for right now I can safely disable 4 levels of shields. I'm entertaining the idea of scooping up a crew teleporter since I just got a mantis on my ship, but not sure if I really should. What do you guys think? Do I stand a chance?

Well, I guess I can. Not a chance! My first win the Engi B!

Grats! It's a very difficult setup to win with; even more amazing that you say it is your first win ever! Or do you mean just with the Engi B.

Either way, well done!

It was just with the Engi B, which, I think is my greatest accomplishment in the game so far. I've won with the Stealth Cruiser as well, but I feel it was slightly easier with the addition of cloaking, though no easy task to get a good run going.
