Scrap Recovery Arm is more reliable but Distraction Buoys can give better rewards (especially when it allows you to finish a quest). I play only on hard difficulty. I only buy the scrap recovery arm, if my run is already good (much scrap), which makes a good run even better.
Do scrap recovery arms stack?
Scrap Recovery Arm “Allows the ship to collect 10 percent more scrap from any source.” It always rounds down, and extra arms stack additively (before rounding).

What do you need to beat the boss in Sector 8?

Two laser weapons. When you first encounter boss teleport 2 of your crew member in the missile weapons chamber (3rd chamber from left).
How many points do you need to beat the boss?

How can I defeat the flagship faster than light?
Anti-personnel drones help with boarders, defense I drones shoot down missiles and defense II drones shoot down missiles and lasers even faster. System repair drones can augment a damage control team. That’s not to say you need drones- a stealth system is a great defensive tool, a well-timed cloak will let you soar through the power surges.
What happens to the Rebel flagship in FTL Faster Than Light?
With each stage that you beat, the Flagship will jump away, nearing the Rebel fleet. It will wait for one turn before jumping back to assault the Federation base. At the end of the first and second stage, the Flagship will lose a part of its hull along with the rooms, systems, and weapons in the corresponding location.
