What's your secret?

I can't even get past sector 5 on normal, Glaive Beam is fucking awesome but the ship is basically a dice roll to keep alive.

eh, problem I have with it is that a single shot to your weapons room means your run ends
and given the stealth doesn't give you 100% dodge chance early on, before you can get lv 3 stealth and reliably charge your weapon during it essentially you're on a luck based mission
moreso than the rest of the game

First sector is always a gamble with this ship, it is always normal if you die 6 or 7 times. You just have to survive until you have enough scrap to upgrade stealth first and get shields second (atleast in my case)

yeh I know how to play it, still its a very frustrating ship
prefer the zoltan A over it as the prime beam ship, but that one might be a bit OP

>Heavy Laser Mark I in shit tier
to me it seems pretty good if you cant get any better

You know what else is OP?

It's a penis.

>lockdown bomb not top tier
Look at this scrub who never boards.

>Lockdown and Heal below "Decent"
PLAY BOARDING CRAFT

Do one for drones.

Using a save editor so every system of your ship is actually the artillery beam from the Federation Cruiser?

Flak cannons? The vulcan laser with pre-igniter?

Lanius against Mantis?
