I just pulled off this victory with Rock Cruiser Type B
http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/882 ... sizedimageI think its the most scrap I've ever had. I had over 800 scrap that I couldn't spend.
I had 4 rockmen, who were the boarding party, and 4 engies, who controled and repaired the ship. Early on, I got lucky and got fast upgrades. I was boarding enemy ships, I held the weapon room with my rockmen and then used the fire bomb on it. the fire burns up the system while my rockmen keep them from putting the fire out. Its a very effective strategy. I believe I has level 4 shields and almost maxed engines by the end of sector 5. Everything after that was played carefully plotting paths to visit the most sectors possible, and even backtracking through the rebel fleet to get to the exit.
I had Fire bomb, Piercing laser, burtlaser 2, and a hull beam. And I had a preigniter. My strategy was to turn all 4 weapons on and mass fire everything at once to soften up the enemy. then I turn everything off except the fire bomb and put all of my power into shields and engines while my boarding party destroyed from within.
At the boss, I boarded the missile room and took it out with boarders. then I waited for just after a cloak and firebombed the cloak room, then teleported all 4 rockmen(two at a time) into the cloak room on the boss ship. The fire destroyed the cloak while my guys prevented them from putting out the fires. Afterwards, it was pretty easy mop up. I fire bomb the medbay and put all 4 rockmen there until it was dead, all the while the fire is spreading throughout the ship.
Everything was going good, I only had about 30% hull damage from the first two phases.
But I ran some serious trouble in the third phase.
I took 2 missile hits in the shield room right before the super laser fired. I sent 2 engies to go fix it, but I took a lot of damage. I ended up barely winning with just 4 Hull left.
I've got higher scores than that, but they are with 'no pursuit' mod so it doesn't count really.
