Well, if you're going to make an artillery, then I recommend you also give it some way of taking down supershields.
That way you can also bypass having to use a bypass.
Maybe the Artillery should be something like an Ion Blast which fires every 10 seconds. It could take down a Zoltan shield and even the Flagship's Phase 3 Shield but it'll take a while.

Or maybe a teleporting Lockdown Ion Bomb. It can take down Zoltan shields in one hit but again it takes forever to charge up and use.

I might give the ship a whirl later.

It appears that any drones with the type 'BOARDING' (including the Ion Intruder drone) cause the game to crash if a ship with drones disabled obtains one. I believe this is hardcoded, as even increasing the drone slot count didn't change anything. I've changed the rarity of those drones to 0, making them non-obtainable.

You could probably just remove the drones from the game, or change rarity to 0.

May also want to give a warning that the ship changes the game for other ships, I guess.

I'm afraid that if I remove them, some boarding-drone specific events, like the one you encountered, might cause some issues.
I included an incompatibility warning in the new descriptions as well, so it should be sufficient (I hope)

@edit
never mind, I don't think there are any, I misread the screenshot you took, my bad. Might change rarity to 0.

@edit2
changed rarity to 0, hope it won't cause any event-related issues

Well, here's the video link of our run with the ship:

You could say that was fast turnaround but there it is in case you want to link it to the opening post or something.

Thanks so much for featuring me in that, styles! I got some great ideas out of it and once I'm done with my *super secret project* I'll get around to implementing a thing or two.
