Well. Like I say. I sent in only 4 and they shredded the cloak room and the crew. 6 and it'd have been a complete massacre.
So either there was something wrong with the crew you sent, or something wrong with your tactics.

We'll never get this, since the devs will probably spend their time implementing actual features, but wouldn't it have been awesome to get achievements for stupid deaths? [list] [*] "Glorious sacrifice." - Destroy a ship with your crew on it. Er, this one's already implemented I thought? ...

Well, that's odd, because I stuck 4 boarders in the cloak room and they were able to kill many of the crew before they even left the room on the way to the medbay. If I'd stuck another 2-4 in the corridor then none of the enemy crew would have made it to the medbay to survive. Were you using engis o...

I doubt they'll need to do another Kickstarter for an expansion. They got far more than they needed the first time around, not to mention the massive sales on release.

No, the Pegasus is the two missile one.

I find it so odd that people would choose an easy game over a difficult one. The greater you have to work to beat something (or achieve anything in life actually) the more rewarding it is. Like the O.P I find most modern games way too easy. To the point that I can't even bother to play them. A game...

The mantis B starts with 2 points of shield, rather than the usual 1. Don't forget to turn it on however. With the 2 shields and the defence drone you should easily be able to survive an asteroid field long enough to jump to the next point. And, yes, a 4 mantis boarding crew is freaking awesome. You...

Hi, You should really consider reading some other posts. The randomness is the number one discussed topic about this game. Some love it, calling it the essence of roguelikes, some hate it, calling it unfair and too much luck dependent. So the devs can't compromize there, because there is no middle ...

If you're not getting enough weapons, then don't focus on weapons. Get drones and a teleport instead, those are just as effective.

And, ya know, I don't even believe you when you say that the ion-blast and 3 attack drones couldn't break their shields before they cloaked again. You fire one blast as soon as they decloak, and you should be easily able to do some damage before they recloak, they only have 4 shield points. Yeah, yo...
