Besides the first 2 attempts, I've never allowed myself to play on easy. I feel that it would give me a false sense of accomplishment. The furthest I've made it is the 2nd round of the Flagship. And, after it crushed me, I found that I wasn't even mad. I just sat there trying to figure out how I could beat it next time.
The only advice I can offer is to farm the first 2 sectors for as much scrap as you can get. By sector 3 you never know when the next Zoltan energy bomber or Mantis fighter is gonna outfit your ship with a skylight.
Death to the Rebellion. Long live the Federation.
Edit: I just moments ago made it to the 3rd boss encounter, and saw the best ship and crew I've ever had go up in flames...
GRRARRRGLARBLGRM! so-damn-close (sigh)

So I was playing through FTL the other night, with the Mark B Stealth Ship (the one that comes with a Glaive Beam), and I swear, first sector, first battle, the only pieces of loot I get are some scrap... AND ANOTHER GLAIVE BEAM.
(For those not in the know, the Glaive Beam is probably one of the most OP pieces of equipment in FTL, and if you can get the end boss ship's shields down, the Glaive Beam can make pretty short work of it)
Now the challenge is getting enough weapons power to run the damn thing.
