How do I get to be Captain Kirk levels of good?

press space bar a little more pham

Was gonna give a long-winded guide, but no idea how nub you are. Instabuy stealth, stick with the Kestral A until you win consistently, run crew to medbay when boarded, prioritize shields/engines and especially weps, target flagship missiles, stay away from giant spiders. If you're really nub, farm every sector, don't rush the exit.

Nigga you wanna be Admiral Adama, survival is your friend and not flashy shit

Watch Rich Evans play this game, he'll give you the run down and you can just go beyond that and teach yourself how to play.

>Admiral Adama
Nah, nigga. You wanna be Jacob Keyes.

I'm no expert, but I do know that killing the crew without destroying the ship results in much higher scrap rewards. So a strong boarding party + healing bay is a good strategy to earning lots of early-game scrap

this.
enemy fires a missile? press space and put as much energy as possible to engines (even O2 and shields). when the missile passed, restore the energy.
i always upgrade the shields after sector one and try to get cloaking as fast as possible.
after that, a boarding crew is crucial for the final battle and it provides you with lots of loot if you take over a ship.
also try to fire your weapons all at once (lasers at least)

Fuck em all to death.

Uninstall and play a better game

Get Mantis Ship B.

Get four Mantis crew.

Upgrade teleporter to 3.

Board and murder fucking everything, lods emone, #itsrainingscrap, and buy all the best weapons and upgrades by sector 6.
