This was my first victory. It was in stealth mode. Access exit to surface is well protected and my last three successful runs which ended up at -1 were stopped right at the exit. The solution this time:

Spoiler: a way to break the barricade (click to show/hide)

Zipping around very fast is quite fun but one should be wary of swarmers. These can be outrun too at speed 10 but a strong explosive launcher is a good option too. A rocket launcher allowed me to fight everything in lower caves without taking a scratch.

Oops, somehow this thread showed up as read already when I hadn't read it xD

Obviously you've had better wins since, but yeah that's a good strategy for getting into places that otherwise require hacking open heavily-reinforced blast doors. There are a few other ways as well (including other shooty ways

).
