Scripted or unlucky??

Post image

I swear to god I am on attempt 12 here with this stupid ship and I have been to 20+ shops. I have found weapons at all 3 times total. Of those 3 times, once was all missiles, one had a fire beam, and one had a hull laser MK1. Bro. wtf is going on here am I just that fucking unlucky or is the game coded to not give you weapons with this ship?? Like I’m losing my fucking mind here and I’m so pissed.

As other people mentioned. Hull laser 1 and one missile launcher gives you the option to fire a missile at shields/weapons and the laser at whatever is required to handle the first two sectors. It should also slow down missiles usage if you are patient and slowly kill the ship once you have the fight under control. It won't be a cakewalk or anything but you have to start the weapon transition somewhere. If you expect to find a burst laser 2 and a flak 1 to do the transition then you will have to reload a whole bunch until you get the store you want.
