My artillery beam killed the other ship at 1hp with my crew <10% health at 0 oxygen. Fortunately I had just enough scrap for level 2 medbay (it's already there in the SS) so I was able to heal through 0% oxygen and live to repair. I had to fly through two unknown beacons (and fight two ships without losing that 1hp, one on an asteroid field) before getting to the exit of this sector, but the next one had a store adjacent to the entry beacon and I had enough scrap to repair to full hull by then.
Didn't win the game that run though sadly, later on I got into this situation:

Fought through two beacons with 1hp again (evading 4 rockets) but died to the first rocket at the third beacon.
