I was very surprised when I saw this map, I don't think I've ever had one where it takes the flagship 10 turns to get to the base. Usually I see 6 turn maps, and it feels only occasional to get an 8 turn one. I checked the wiki, and sure enough the options are 6, 8, or 10 turns, so it's clearly something that does happen, I'm just curious how often, like does it happens every 10, 100, or 1000 runs?
Which way would you go? This feels tricky to me. Playing Slug B hard, 7+ win streak. Decent sector 1, I have Clone bay, Hull Laser 1 (and starting Artemis), shields-4 and weapons-3 and good hull/supplies. Sold the heal bomb and slug repair gel. Zoltan offers 2 stores and probably more scrap, but Zoltan shields are a pain for me. Even if I chuck Artemis at it I'm still eating a couple rounds of enemy fire. For Uncharted, there's 0-2 stores but normally at least 1, but also a lot of annoying autoscouts. I'm not setup particularly well for them, if they have a leto and weapons-3 I can't take it down from boarding, and them sniping the clone bay is possible if my Artemis misses. Teleporter-2 can help, as could clone bay-2 (still small risk of fire from Leto hit). But spending on this slows me down from finding hacking. I'm leaning Uncharted, mostly because I like the following sector options better, but curious if there's anything you guys would analyze differently?
