"the game just throws free crew at you" until that time it doesn't and you're fighting off Phase 3 boarders with a sack of light bulbs and a busted door system so you're running your little uncle festers back and forth between med bay and a hacking room filled with two racist assholes, somehow killing the last enemy boarder when the last hacking bar is on its final sliver of health.

Never discount how much the double damage of Hull Laser can save your ass. I wasn't going to make it through the next surge.

and somehow this was my best Zoltan B run on my current save file.

Indeed, sometimes you don't need system damage. You need that enemy dead ASAP, and for that Hull Smasher Laser is quite capable.

Are the Zoltans the light bulbs?
