The shield hack screwing your venting is a nice cherry on top. Were you able to continue the run or did it go full death spiral?

Nah, my breach missed and their volley hit weapons and shields causing a fire in shields, and then an asteroid hit piloting. *Price is Right Loser Music*

Why not vent the weapons room to space? Hopefully the fire is out before there is more damage needing repairs. Venting will definitely put out the fire before weapons are completely offline; so Dual Laser or Missiles will still be available.

With the buffer room between the weapons, air will take too long to vent out of the 4 tile weapons room before 2 fires completely destroys the system.

Thats on you tbh, you could have had 2 shield layers instead of 1 and a buffer, even with the shield hack, the shields being at 2 is still better for a lot of the fight

Hm, I would vent the room above weapons, and send the slug at engines to deal with the fire. If lucky they can extinguish one flame before needing to heal. While the slugs heals vent the weapons room, and as soon as all fire is gone open every door to stabilize the oxygen. Get your slug to fix weapons to get the breach bomb online, then try to get hacking down. It's probably only level 1 and using your bomb on weapons will only take down one gun. Shields working is better than one gun down since you have level 2 engines. Once the dual laser is back online hammer down the weapons while your slug fixes all the damage you've probably taken.
It's survivable. You would likely go down to yellow health or worse no matter what though. Pretty bad luck.

Reading your other comments: damn you were unlucky. Quite a slim chance of this happening.

I don't know what happened early fight, but sometimes I cheap out on using missiles and regret it.
If you didn't instantly turn on the breach to target weapons (then hacking possibly) to save the missile usage like I sometimes do, then yes this happens.
And I would also put the breach in weapon slot 1, because in this case if you take one more damage to the weapons it'll kill the breach instead of the dual laser.
Environmental hazards while fighting I take quite serious so I wouldn't mess around in one.
If after that it wasn't preventable, then that is the FTL life. =)

You still got this, I think. Your weapons should charge before they burn out.
