Well, I tried Grey's advise twice. It does work until sector 4, but then your ship blows up. No additional weapon and you are pretty much going nowhere fast. Maybe better luck next time.

Yep, you need a better weapon before you find 3 shield enemies. Maximising sector scraping and nebula visits helps, and a bit of shop luck is always handy.

Yes. On my second attempt today find a Pre-igniter on 3rd fight in sector 1. Easy going from then.
Had Max weapons and 2xBurst laser MK II by sector 4 and Glaive, was blowing up enemies in seconds. Entered sector 8 with 534 scrap hoping for a store with for some drones. Not even needed in the end.

Tried two runs with this tactic and it's definitely a whole lot better that what I did before. Sadly I had a whole lot of bad luck during both runs and died one time quite late and one time quite early. Anyway, at least with this tactic I don't have the feeling that survival depends 95% on lucky dice ;-)

Man, I'm really struggling with the Vortex. Just saying, no tips please. Have all of you won with it?
Ancient Member
Jup, I have. Though it surely was not easy ;-)

Went to grind for slug ship (was a nice map with 3 nebulas which all turned to be "uncharted") and won with Vortex. Recruited 3 only more guys and skipped teleporter entirely, but the last stage was intense (too many boarders). Also Heavy Ion + Burst Mk II + Halberd Beam kinda suck.
For some reason I've acquired about 6 or 7 Defense Drone I throughout the game, but haven't use even 2 at the same time.
I like my women like my ADOM loot - hunted as treasure and in extra quantity.

Actually won with the Vortex on my very next attempt after my previous post. Was lucky to find another Heavy Ion in sector 3. 2xHeavy Ion + Heavy Laser I took me all the way.
Was long and hard when 4 shield ships started appearing, but managed in the end. Only had 3 shields layers and 45% dodge, luckily also bought a hull repair drone along the way. No missiles, bombs or teleporter, just cloak from sector 6.

Finally unlocked slug ships and claimed victories with both of them.
Slug Cruiser B firmly goes to claim the worst ship position.
