Most of the random events are a choice between "Stay out of it" and "do something risky that might pay off and might screw you over." I don't find that to be unreasonable.
I didn't find the flagship that much hugely more difficult than the rest of the game. Difficult, yeah - I'd have been disappointed if I'd gotten it on the first try. But it's not 1/100 odds and it's not pure luck. I think I've beaten it more often than it's beaten me.
If you play it safe through the whole run, then yeah, you're a lot less likely to die, and yeah, the flagship will be absurdly hard. 'cuz that's a bad strategy. Instead, push the edge of what you can get away with. There's more to this game than surviving. You need to take risks and go looking for trouble if you want to stand a chance against the flagship. You need to think strategically and play proactively.
That's not "farming". That's playing the game. If fighting ships is so repetitive and boring that you can call it "farming", you've got the difficulty too low.
tl;dr YOU'RE ALL WRONG THIS GAME IS AWESOME BLAAAGH
