Rock Cruiser is hard!
This is the only ship I can't get anything done with. I can't stand watching these Rock sloooowly move around as their ship is falling apart.

Seems you're getting... rocked... on your rock cruiser runs.

Spend your first 90 scrap on a crew teleporter and let that 150 HP do what it is meant to.
I'd write more but I'd be parroting out this guy:

Summary:

- Rock A is kinda awful but the TP is right next to the medbay, so don't bother buying weapons - buy a TP instead
- Rock B also needs a TP ASAP and yesterday if possible
- Rock C is fine

Rock B, don't neglect purchasing doors just because it gives you no airlocks, massive boarding encounters (6+) and fire are a massive problem for that ship.

Okay, but don't skip something that doesn't run out of ammo if there isn't a teleporter at the first shop you hit. Any time you can eliminate another factor that can screw you (ammo/missile-def-drones), you should take the opportunity.

Also, buy batteries early when you can. They're cheap, don't count against your system limit and are removed from the RNG list when you have them, making it more likely a desired system (like TP) will spawn at future shops. I don't hesitate to sell the rock shield for scrap if doing so gets me a needed upgrade and often sell it when it doesn't so I can get to shields 2 faster. And as always, always, escape out of the store screen and check the map when landing at a store to avoid the spent-all-my-scrap-on-meh-stuff *facepalm when another store one system away had pre-igniters, hack modules and glaive beams/halberds/burst-2s.

Any time you have rock crew and LR scanners or a revealed map, visit hazards in nebulae for a good chance at a profitable blue choice event.

That 2 persons teleporter on the Rock Cruiser A layout isn't that great. Especially after playing as the Basilisk (Mantis B). :P

Well you can use your missile launchers to shoot enemy weapons offline while boarding to hopefully buy you enough time to finish the crew off
