FTL Hard mode, WITH pause, Stealth A As Intended, Shieldless!

We had one attempt at a drone + ion run before this run, but it got shut down pretty quick. After a great start, we got REKT by some OP ships, so we decide to try out the Stealth A, As Intended...with no Shield System! We've only completed a shieldless run ONCE before, so we're going for it in this challenge, since all three stealth ships start with no shields! We decide on using the Stealth A, since it has cloaking and is probably the strongest of the stealth ships. We have some rough fights early, kinda like our Fed C run, but get some decent RNG later on. With hacking keeping us afloat, we make it to the point of finding Zoltan Shield, which gives us a chance! Shieldless runs are always tense, but get ready for an epic finale! GG, cookie time! -- Watch live at   / rand118
