What's been your most heartbreaking run?

I created a Blade Master/Swordsman/Wing Commando Captain with a heavy focus on crew combat. Grinded through the scout cutter, got a descent carrier ship, five points before I wiped out the Jyeeta brood swarm. If you don't know this unlocks the final mission. (Where the Paladin gives you the most awesome sword in the game) Had pocketed around 10 million to deck out a end game ship. (Regretted not spending the cash earlier on a better ship). Then I got wiped out by a Jyeeta carrier. I had to put the game down for a while after that.

This game is like a toxic relationship no matter how hard it beats me I keep coming back. Trying a Shock Trooper build now.
