Albeit somewhat annoying as per our Facepunch culture, I wouldn't call rating everyone dumb threadshitting.
Chirno does it all the time in the Tribes Ascend thread.
rating spammers deserve nothing more than public execution
Also, absolutely [I]everyone[/I] on my steam friendslist is playing this. Definitely going to have to check it out
I tried EASY mode for the first time today, went with Kestrel and managed to max it out before going into last boss zone... What the hell, at normal I barely upgrade it to 50%, especially Kestrel... Holy crap, easy is super easy. Still, failed at the flagship ;/ .
These drones... Hundreds of them.
I don't think we facepunch can live without funion.
Fuck, I just lost my ship of 8 people. I made it smooth sailing all the way until the [i]fucking flagship[/i].
I've named my ship 'Nvidia" because of how many fires the damn thing attracts.

Also mantises and rockmen, jesus christ.
[QUOTE=ZestyLemons;37682399]I'm either really terrible or unlucky. I can get far, but I always get fucked buy ships with a lot of shield. Any tips?[/QUOTE]
Buff your own shields, and then focus theirs. Particularly with the Engi ship, as soon as their shields drop, the ion cannon should put it out of commission. Then your drone is free to rape.
Double ion cannons is pure rape.

Pretty good story of an encounter
How can such a simple game be so fun
I wish more stores carried that thing that has your guns ready as soon as you enter combat
Getting that first hit must be awesome, you can probably take down any of the shittier ships without losing any health with that upgrade alone
Just made it to the flagship for the first time, but I didn't have enough firepower to do anything. This game is fucking hard.

First time I made it to that ship it cloaked, then just destroyed my shields, O2 and set me on fire :saddowns:
Forth try, got to the second phase of the flagship, those drones man...

whats the difference between a beam drone and an anti ship drone?
[QUOTE=dill6869;37683158]whats the difference between a beam drone and an anti ship drone?[/QUOTE]
Beam has less base damage but has a higher chance of causing fires I think.

Also anti ship pops shields, beam doesn't

:suicide:
I really hope they give us a ship that looks like the one from Firefly
Engi Homeworlds. And I have Engies on board. Time to unlock that cloaking ship
I like this game a lot, but it's really frustrating how it can just decide that it's time for you to lose now.
I get my shields upgrade, upgrade my power enough to use them, and even have a third weapon and like 5 crew members, but then I just get raped by 5 mantises teleporting into my ship and tearing everyone apart in 3 seconds.
Is there anything I can do to defend against teleporting enemies in general? Whenever I fight a ship with a teleporter, I'm lucky to make it out with even one crew member. My weapons don't charge fast enough to disable their teleporter, and when my crew is distracted fighting invaders, the ship gets ripped to shreds by missiles and lasers.

Only thing I can think of is improved blast doors and the Heal gun that heals your guys in your ships + remote med bay nano bot things. Now you can tank! Maybe even a bomb that self targets, you can hurt your own ship, but also enemy inside it
Also, the Engi missions were worth it, They gave me an assload of stuff and it unlocked the stealth cruiser for the next playthrough
Upgrade your blast doors, and then go to town opening those airlocks. The enemies will have to shoot through your doors, and if you open your doors strategically you can really extend the time they have to spend without oxygen. Eventually, you'll probably be forced to attack them, but they'll be so weak at the point that you will tear through them.

Buy the blast doors and try to fight in the heal bay.

This is the way I handle the intruders, it's really effective and a lot better than shooting your own ship.
I wanna get this. Reminds me of Star Command but that game's not out yet, I think.

Now make one called AMD and take away the driver.

I do this but add self targeted fire bombs to the mix
Works pretty well, had 4 guys tp onto the ship and I only had to deal with them when they were all 1 shots :v:
Just finished a normal game. The first two fights with the flagship were relatively easy, but I only just got out of the final battle. With only a single point of hull health, and half of my crew dead, and the rest of the crew on fire.

This game is fucking amazing.
Welp

Purged all the fires, but not before it took out the Oxygen. I ran my guys up there as soon as I could, they repaired it but not in time to keep the remaining two crew members alive. They suffocated. Half my ship was engulfed in flames and we made the FTL jump like that because the ship I was fighting was fucking us up
"All your crewmembers have died. Your ship will continue to drift for eternity"
Just started a playthrough with the Cloaking Cruiser... How the fuck. No shields.
