Got close, but still died. One thing one has to keep in mind is that the Axethrowers(I don't know the alliance equivalent) also throw fire pitchers onto your ship, meaning if you don't deal with them somehow, the burn from the fires they cause might destroy your gunship faster than you can work on the enemy's.
Once I thought to kill the axethrowers, it was a fair bit easier, though still fun. The kill order remains roughly the same: Boarding party>sorcerer>Throwers>cannon.
It's worth noting that using your jetpack and landing ontop of them deals massive AoE damage(was a whopping 90k for me) in a small radius, pair this with a howling blast and you can pretty much oneshot htem.
This is an alternative, but effective way to deal with a situation when a sorcerer is up as well as a boarding party. You kill the boarding party first, hit 2 throwers with a howling blast, land with the jetpack on them to kill them, and then deal with the sorcerer.
Hope this works out for you, did for me.
