Improve the doors as well. Lvl 3 doors can hold them off long enough to almost kill them before they progress. Even with lvl 2 doors you can hurt them enough by venting atmosphere to take them on with equal numbers quite easily.

An extra level of shielding, engine upgrades to get out of dodge + improved evasion and upgraded doors are my priority on a new game.

And just pray that the invaders dont take out your CO2, cuz if they do your dead usually.

Got amazingly lucky last night with the Kestrel A. First, I found a small bomb
from the first sector and then the.. err.. other self-teleporting thingamaling
that does 3 damage to systems and causes hull breach but doesn't actually damage
the hull. Also, I had the pre-weapon primer thingy that allows you to shoot
as soon as you jump out of FTL. It was glorious.

Also found one of them self-teleporting Ion bombs.

Then.. I got to sector 7 and got killed. HATE THIS ****ING GAME!

Yep, it's infuriatingly brilliant.

Vent it. They won't assault components in a room without air.

It's a pain if they teleport in there directly though. I always get a upgrade for that asap as well; even if you don't power something fully, the empty boxes take damage first. An extra box on the shields lets you take a point of damage there without compromising shields, etc.

Oh, won another on normal with the Engi cruiser. Twin ion blast and hull beam and mk2 defence drone + stock assault drone.

You are a very thorough ferret Dowly here all these years I have been brushing my teeth when I should have been washing them.

I just figured he had false teeth and took them out and put them in the sink to wash them.

Bit too close for comfort... Not the first time the artillery beam saves my behind.

Still haven't gotten anywhere apart from getting the Stealth ship last night,
which is very fun ship to play.
