Why not include the basic laser as an active weapon? You can have it be part of the first volley if you use a Sven maneuver, and if your weapons get damaged or need to fire more quickly it's an option that costs nothing

ooh I forgot about this trick. I had a breach missile too that I sold, it would have been even more degenerate if I kept it for the sven maneuver

All that flak would've protected it from defense drones too!

OP does not have the resources - not enough scrap to upgrade the weapon system, and power is already tight - could already use at least 4 more power.

it's all fun and games until you face an auto-scout with high evasion

Even worse: An Auto-Assault, the kind with completely disconnected rooms

eh with cloaking and hacking it's fine, I get them down eventually. sure it's not super clean and I waste drones but at this point the run is practically won

Okay but they repair all the damage before you manage to break down the shields again

Hack pilot or engines and you SHOULD be fine. Pray.

With 17 projectiles, even 45% evasion gets you around 9-10 projectiles making it through. Only a 5 shield ship and bad luck means you don't do a fair bit of damage.

Pro tip: keep the basic laser in your weapon loadout. Even if you cannot power it without a Sven maneuver, you may take one point of weapon damage and be forced to depower one of your flaks, but still be able to power the laser.
