I'm really bad at this game. (all games really)

I can only play on easy, I can't even get through the first sector on normal, not unless I head straight for the exit, but that's no fun.
I've been trying to get through on the USS Quadrophenia, but Captain Townshend, Commander Daltrey, and Engineer Entwistle keep running into trouble. I've restarted twice with this ship already.



also who was talking about no save features? I just saved and quit.

i keep misreading this as faster than luigi and idk why

make him the security guard

make him the security guard

actually I'd have him work on the engine, that way your engi is free to do any necessary repairs

better idea
i always have a free gold repair engi on hand to fix things

oh god its terrifying to watch as your ship is burning down and all of your systems save your medbay are down. you rush everyone in but only three can fit. The others have to painfully await there deaths while the three watch in horror.
Then when the fire calms down you try and get your men to the oxygen room to repair it, only to have the fire in the engine room chip away at your last bit of hull integrity and your ship crumbles apart.

I was hoping I'd be able to take advantage and get that achievement for repairing back to full health.

definitely not as frustrating as binding of isaac, but boy this thing is hard as ass. i got to the last level where you have to defeat the flagship and i had NO IDEA what i was supposed to be doing, and then when it got within 1 jump and i lost i was like D:

the engi ship is definitely the best one out of the first two you get, as soon as i got it i played it, and after i lost i went back to the first one and it sucked.

i love being able to just hit auto fire and kick back, with the human ship you have to watch it or you'll run out of missiles so fast.

When I get 5+ crew members, I put them in the following rooms (in order)

-weapons
-shields
-engine
-pilot

So if they ever get hit, the other member of the crew can be there to assist in repairs.
Also, cloak REALLY helps with the flag-ship fight. When it fires its 3 missals, engage it and they will all miss. It helps to have it upgraded too.

from what i understand with cloaked ships (i don't have one) when they cloak they:

1. Can't be hurt
2. Can charge up their weapons and fire them
3. Prevent the enemy from charging their weapons up

it sounds good to me...

anyway i just finished my second run, i beat the flagship in the first encounter but it's 80 bazillion drones destroyed me before i could take out their drone controls :(

it's great at the beginning of the game to invest into a double shield, does so much good for you, you never take any damage from lasers.

wow this is 1337

i have a glaive beam and 3 shields. just hold out their damage and then insta kill.

[Feep]

i just used the handy save feature and copy pasta'd my .sav to a folder in sector 8

feels good man

AFTER DYING LIKE 20 TIMES ON BOSS I HAVE BEST STRATEGY

1. you need a fire weapon

2. you need something to take down shields


use weapons to take down shields, ie. i use two beam pulse lasers, then fire the fire beam or fire projectile weapon into the missile gunners area, chances are fire will destroy the missile launcher and kill him so he cannot repair it



burn maddafakkas, burn!!!!!!!

then repeat for the rest of the weapons if you wish to kill the crew... OR, attack ship (i have full shields so their other weapons dont phase me)

hah! NICE SHIELDS NOOBLORD HOWS THE FIRE





OMG NO

[Hiiro326]
