Hey guys. Got myself to sector 7 with this setup: http://imgur.com/a/4NtVx. Any advice on what to buy or how to beat the boss?

You should be able to win this. I'd buy the pike beam, since your weapons are currently a bit weak for the flagship. The next step is to beef up your defenses. Cloaking should be your first priority, if you can find it. Use it to dodge missiles in phase 1 and the power surges in phases 2 and 3. Next priority would be level 4 shields, then engines. Be sure to fight as many ships as you can in sector 8 in order to get the scrap to buy those upgrades.
