Never kill the whole crew
Mind control is actually really great
Anti drone, drone scramble, or if you have shield bypass breach bomb and fire bomb, prioritize missile and drone control, and hacking unless they lock on something dumb like door or camera
Teleport into weapon rooms, kill crew in each, never take out ion.
hacking is mostly worthless, don't bother, if using it, target based on shield bypass and bomb (fire bomb + hacking healing = fire shield room and get kill in heal room)
BOOST CREW IN ASTEROIDS OR AGAINST WEAKLING
Getting to the final boss is harder than the final boss as long as you understand what the stages are, and that survival is irrelevant beyond destroying them first. I have literally won by one second as they blew up before i did.

Not that anyone asked
