Using the Red-Tail I came across no good weapons. My Mantis died early on, leaving me virtually defenseless. So I came across a ship with two layers of shielding. It had Zoltan shields as well, and two Burst Laser IIs. That meant six laser shots against my default shields and engines. I couldn't even get through its Zoltan shields before it had disarmed me.

Yep, except I was using the Stealth B. First ship I met had a beam drone and mini-beam. Goodbye weapons, goodbye engines, goodbye ship.

Attack a ship in an asteroid field.

Blow up medbay.

Board ship and wipe out crew.

Putz around while teleporter is recharging.

"Wait what, why is my teleporter still recharging? It should automatically be full at the end of a battle"

*Asteroid blows up ship with entire crew on it*

I felt so dumb after that.

Bought FTL.

Thought "I don't need no stinkin' Tutorial."

Started game.

Made first jump.

Got into fight.

Got O2 system destroyed.

Blew up enemy.

All crew suffocated and died because I didn't know how to move them.

Game Over. 110 points.

Played Tutorial.

Guess what happened to me? Again?

>Get Stasis Chamber
>Decide to play it safe this time - I want that Crystal Cruiser!
>Enter Zoltan sector (read: the peaceful place)
>First ship has 3 weapons and 2 drones
>FFFFUUUUU
>Have to FTL Jump away before I explode
>Emergency jump brings me face-to-face with a Mantis Bomber, sporting 4 weapons; a Burst Laser Mk.II, an Ion Bomb, an Artemis/Leto, and a Beam, and guess what, DRONES! LOTS OF DRONES!
>Die.
>Cry.

Edit: Forgot to mention both of these ships had 2 shield layers, this is in Sector 3 mind you. BLOODY SECTOR 3.
