Had a little funny incident happen in a recent game. Just started a new game, about half way through the first sector, and I encounter a slaver. First salvo of weapons is exchanged, theirs hit first and set a fire in the medical compartment. Mine knock down shields and weapons, and they offer to send a slave over in exchange for not destroying them. The slave? A 'Rockman', whom I then use to put out the fire started by the slaver, safely!

My first time using the A-Layout Engi ship (The Torus) went somewhat badly. I don't fully remember the details, but there was a fire and the oxygen room had been wrecked. I sent both of my Engi crewment to repair the oxygen room, but both died. All that was left was my human pilot, who I moved back to the nearby medbay for healing. I was looking at the ship being taken apart while my only crewmember stood there, kept alive entirely by the medbay's ability to heal her suffocating body.

But then I had a moment of inspiration. I threw her into the pilot's chair and the ship jumped out of combat and she was able to re-heal and run to the oxygen room, fixing it in a few back-and-forth trips. Luckily I found a nearby store with a few crewmembers to hire, and for a time the Torus I continued on. But that run ended when I felt I had no real chance against the Rebel Flagship, and so bought a crew teleporter and went for the "blow up an enemy ship with your entire crew onboard" achievement.

The Torus II was my first and currently only time at having beaten the Rebel Flagship, though. I was very very lucky that my weaponry was hitting at the right rhythm to get through the Flagship's shields each time, and I even had to jump out of combat with the Flagship's third form to deal with boarders that had been sent onto my ship.

I attached a screenshot of the final moments of my only winning run.

Playing with the Mantis cruiser II, I teleported my whole crew onto the enemy ship while their guys teleported to mine. I opened ALL the doors and vented the whole ship. The enemy boarders died, but not before taking out my door systems. I the enemy crew but my ship had 0% oxygen and all doors stuck open.

I teleported everyone back and had them run for the medbay, which kept them barely alive, healing them at the exact same rate as the suffocation was killing them. Everyone was injured so there was nobody to send to fix the doors. I thought I was stuck.

But then I noticed the [ship] button was active. The combat was over, after all. I upgraded my med bay to level 2, got everyone healed up, fixed the doors and continued on my way.

Funny that an upgrade can save your life like that ^_^

That reminds me when I nicely accepted that the enemy ship give up the fight (which I usually not do, beacause, after all, they are the bad guys, f*ck them!) but that it had been destroyed anyway, probably because of some fire in it :D

Lol that's happened to me. I let them surrender, and sit for just a minute, and watch their ship explode anyways. Sucks to be them.

Lol.
I had no longer jump fuel. A merchant went rescuing, he was hard and long on trading.
The so-'merchant' then succedeed in hacking my weapons and attack.
I could do nothing but watching my ship being destroyed... (no weapons, no teleport, no jump, I had no drone too)
Now, I do everything to not standing on the side of the road..

I got into this game blindly a couple of nights ago. Died many times but learned something every time. Then this happened...

I get into a fight with another ship early on. It had two shield points which was a bit slow to die since I was using the starter Kestrel. Somehow, the enemy ship managed to breach my hull and start a couple of fires. I had to abandon posts to flush the fire out into space which left a large part of the ship without oxygen. My crew was taking a lot of damage trying to fix things and before I knew it I had lost the weapons room. With no offense, few safe spots in the ship and the FTL drive not ready yet, I had to power up the med-bay and herd my injured crew into it.

I'm thinking all is lost, but then I look back to the enemy ship and see that they have stopped firing too. They are having massive problems with fires at several places and the O2 system is destroyed. The crew is fighting fires and getting killed off, and then suddenly they lose air supply and suffocate. The achievement pops up and I'm thinking "wow, that was awesome!" with glee.

About an hour later in the same playthrough I'm thinking things are going quite well. Then I get into a fight in an astroid field. Astroids kept pelting away my shields while the enemy was breaching rooms all over the place. While trying to fix all these problems my crew was injured a lot. Then it happened. A tiny rock smashed up the O2 system and breached the hull. I'm trying to survive the beating from the enemy but with only humans I have a hard time patching up the breach AND fixing the O2 system. I managed to win the fight and repair the engine so that I could warp out. Arriving in the new system, oxygen levels fall below sustainability and before I can repair the O2 system my whole crew suffocates.

I'm thinking my gleeful suffocation of the early enemy ship earned me a hard punishment just when I started to think things were going well.
