Why are all my type A’s gone, but not type B’s?
That was astronomically lucky. Got the achivement when I least expected it. Both pilot and the engine mantis were fully leveled in their roles.
Re-downloaded FTL after a long while to check off the last few niche achievements and finally got 51. This game's given me so many hours of entertainment over the years.
Oh. That's how the explosion in Beirut happened...

Like what purchases do you usually have made by the time you finish the 1st sector?

I am in the Lanius B, and just came out of a forced Rock sector into rebel stronghold. 3 shield bubbles, L6 engines, and L1 weapons. I picked up hacking as the last system so no cloak/defense drone, but my Lanius + hacking are doing an excellent job taking out crew. Anyway, I start at about half health coming from Rock sector with plenty of missiles. So my first jump to a store to heal is a no-brainer. A nebula is adjacent, so I jump there, win an easy fight against an auto-scout. Then I look at my Rock bride quest picked up from the last sector. It is at the end of a tail of 3 beacons that connect to nothing else. Guess I won't do the quest then, and get the free Rock crew. So I look at what paths I can take to maximize jumps to the exit. Then I realize: the exit is at the end of a 5 beacon path that starts at the far left. Even if I jump toward that path now I am 2 jumps away and the rebel fleet would catch me.

I decide then to go all in. I have plenty of fuel, and need just 80 scrap to upgrade to L7 engines to be able to avoid the ASB. I plot a path that will take me to the rock bride quest and then back, diving through 10 jumps in the rebel fleet. A big risk.

About halfway to the quest, I encounter the rebel shipyard. With Lanius, mind control, and hacking the fight is a joke. I make it to the quest beacon, upgrade my engines to L7 and prepare for the 10 beacon dive with 21 health.

The first beacon is a freebie since the rebels haven't quite made it yet. At the second jump, the ship is equipped with a Hermes missile which can fire before the FTL drive is ready. I lose the 51% dodge and it hits my shields, dealing 3 damage and taking me down to 1 shield bubble. I set my Lanius to repair but don't have time to wait as I must jump to avoid the ASB. The ship at the 3rd beacon has lasers, including a BLII. The first volley hits my engines twice, setting a fire. Even sending in my Rock immediately, the fire gives me another damage on engines taking me down to just 4. My Lanius have fixed the shields and shift to helping fix engines, but I won't get out in time to avoid the ASB. I get lucky. Even with a dodge of 30 the ASB happens to miss. Another laser hits, but I am able to finish fixing the engines and jump away before the next ASB.

Now at 15 health, the ship at the 4th beacon has an Artemis and a Hermes. Even using a hack to delay, the artemis fires - and hits my hacking system. I jump to avoid the ASB before I have time to repair. The ship at the 5th beacon *also* has an Artemis and Hermes, and my hack is currently down so I can't delay the missiles. Both missiles hit. One hits engines and the other hits and kills the engi repairing hacking. I fire up the clone bay and brace for the ASB which misses again. Unfortunately the 2nd volley of missiles both hit before I can jump away. I am at 3 health and only halfway through my dive.

At the 6th beacon, the ship has 2 ion weapons and a Halberd beam. Just enough ions miss so the beam does no damage when it hits. I jump to the 7th beacon where the ship has an Artemis again. It hits hacking, taking me down to 1 hp before I jump away.

The ship at the 8th beacon has a hull missile. I can't delay it with hacking and it will fire before my FTL drive is ready. I must dodge it or the run is over. The missile comes in: "MISS" appears and I breathe a sigh of relief as I jump to the 9th beacon. The ship here has an Artemis which will fire even if I use my hacking to delay. I watch the missile near my ship: "MISS" again. I jump to the exit beacon.

The 10th and beacon has a ship with no missiles. It does have some ion and BLIII. One of the ions hits, leaving me with just two shields when the BLIII fires 5 shots. The first shot - hits. The second shot - hits. If any of the next three hit my run is over. As the third shot is about to hit my ship my FTL comes online and I jump away to S6.
