Worked out what that stupid Stasis Pod is for but I got it too late and I couldn't work out what to do ...(spoiler) ...
Spoiler: I think I worked it out
I believe you need to use the Bulwark to get to the hidden galaxy

Bloody mashiro has all bar the last ship.
I've scored myself the:
Kestral A/B
Stealth Cruiser A/B
The Mantis A/B (BTW this is the best ship because the matis kick everyones heads in)
The Engi Cruiser A/B
Federation Cruiser A/B
Zoltan Cruiser A/B
Also finally managed to finish on normal mode.
I have a plan that never fails
Spoiler: the plan that never fails, here be spoilers
Have one of the following setups
Hard mode
Get lucky enough to have enough weapons to blast through the 4 point sheild.
Easy mode
Forget weapons, upgrade your blast doors, your medbay, get a fully upgraded teleporter at least 7 crew (3 for systems and 4 for brawling) and a fire bomb, and some crappy laser.
By concentrating on the teleporter as your offensive weapon it frees up all your weapons power to the engines, sheilds and medbay which you wont need to power as much once his weapons are down.
As for defense you either want 4 shields and full power to the engines or 3 shields at least 70 percent engine power and a cloak, 5 sec is enough)
In phase 1 teleport your crew over two at a time take down his weapons in this order
Missile room (3rd from left)
Ion room (Leftmost)
Beam laser room (Rightmost)
Pew pew laser room (2nd from left)
Then you are pretty much free to mess him up anyway you want, divert power back into the weapons and get to arse kicking.
My preferred method is to teleport your two attack crews over to mess up his cloak room and drop a few fire bombs in (using the laser to knock down his shields a bit.
I start with the medbay then the cloak room then the shields.
Make sure you get your crew out in time.
Second phase
Teleport your crew over again to take out his missiles and his pew pew lasers but keep your strongest on board, the enemies you killed in phase one will still be dead so they will have no resistance.
Use you strongest two man crew as defense to deal with the drones and use the cloak to dodge his power surges. (This is where the doors and medbay are a godsend (keep them off your bridge, you can't dodge when it is unmanned.)
Once his weapons are down concentrate on ridding him of his drones then your smooth sailing.
Phase three
All power to engines, weapons and shields, you have no choice but to dodge until his super shield is down, save you cloak until you need it a high powered engine plus a cloak will give more that 100% chance to evade, I save it for the super weapon power surge you can tank the rest until you get your crew on board.
Other things:
If your thinking about drones get a defense drone mark II or two defense drones over an attack drone it will keep most of the missiles off you, as they ignore shields and cause you the most hurt.
DO NOT kill all the men on the boss ship, if you do the AI kicks in and will repair his weapons systems, which is not fun, you will end up having to keep a crew member in each of his weapons systems and have to micromanage like an idiot.

Swap out missles for bombs - he has Mk II Defence drones so missles get smacked out pretty fast
On the last phase:
as he said - leave a crew member alive
Make sure you have something to destroy the ship ... (I may have gone in with 3 bombs... didn't work out so well)
