Fire raged in couple of rooms on a completely different sides of the ship. The fact one of the fires was in sensor room didn't really help. Also my med-bay got hit by one mega-barrage so no Engi med-bots heal for me. Also, door control. Not having the control over doors the fire in the upper part, which could be put out by opening the doors to space, eventually reached oxygen room. And, the worst, drone control. Eventually I was just struggling to repair ANYTHING while having no capacity to strike back and few laser barrages later the brave Torus exploded fantastically and all the 8 crew members with him. Ah well.

What annoys me slightly is the fact I was so damn close. With some careful usage of S. Bomb in it's final moments the flagship's 3rd stage had just one crew member remaining. But to be fair, I think I got too greedy at that point, focusing more on trying to kill that guy instead of paying attention to flagship's remaining offensive capabilities. Still, it was a pretty fantastic run. The unlocking of Federation cruiser (and the mission for it) took me by complete surprise, and consequently Lanius cruiser is also in my hangar now. Also, never got past 2nd stage when using Torus before so all in all I'm very pleased, so much it's almost tempting to put this post into "how did you last own" thread. Still, I died.

Opened the farportal room and the unique horror inside was immune to my primary elemental attack and too durable for my minions to wear him down.

You need to make said elf leather into the most amazing work of art.  Embed it with every kind of gem you have, stud it with metals, and sew images into it.  Erect a shrine outside your fort with that in the center.  Let the elves know that you view their very skin as naught more but a medium for your dwarves to work on.

Why would the most powerful ship in the rebels' arsenal not have a failsafe in case the crew gets killed?

AI is kind of the rebel's schtick.  Absolutely NO ONE else has auto-ships.  Add that to the fact that their ship structures are different (they have rounded hulls while the federation has more square edges), and there's kind of a mystery as to where the rebels got all this tech that the Federation doesn't have...

Bluegh, playing Final Fantasy 6 on a emulator, forgot how brutal it was in some points, keep dying to Number 128, in other words, great big purple monster that attacks you when your minecarting at the halfway point of the game.

Have you seen Terminator? Or 2001? An AI in charge of a ship that can tear the Federal Navy a new one more or less single handed (I'm not quite sure what's happening with that dot, as we know rebels have a fleet, but no one ever interferes with the duel when you arrive)  is inherently scary even if it's crewed by a faculty of Federal computer scientists. Hell, especially then.
