We managed to conquer episode 4 (allthough not with all objectives) however 3 attempts at episode 5 were unsuccessful. I'm glad it's not too easy as that's the last episode already. There are still objectives to complete on previous episodes, some more trophies to earn and ofcourse the ongoing missions to play. Hopefully I'll get put with a competent crew again tonight as I'm itching to try out some different tactics.

I tried it briefly in single player to check out a few things but you really need at least 2 people. Steering and targeting can't be done alone, at least not efficiently enough in the later episodes, where a dedicated engineer is very welcome too. Ofcourse a captain to call the next target and when to disenage to recharge is very helpful too, but can be missed and is a useful spare player for when someone loses connection.

I finished episodes 1 - 4 now in single player and even beat the final klingon ship in single player... but I couldn't escape the blast radius of the bomb.

Is there a trick? I can't use warp and can't either set impulse targets. Do I have to beam the bomb on my ship somehow? I only know how to transport people.

The bomb in episode 5? That one you have to beam aboard. Transport works the same as people, it will show up when you scan the right ship.
In episode 4 you survive until you can warp away where you defeat the final klingon ship. There was no bomb there afaik. It's only the Herodotus that gets a reactor meltdown after you rescue the people. (with plenty warning) I guess otherwise you could hide out too long in that part sitting out the 20 minutes in an anomaly. The later parts are much harder to stay undetected.

Episode 5 went very smooth with a good crew and managing the shields correctly. There might be some luck involved too as a later attempt with a good crew ended in destruction after less than 10 minutes.
