[QUOTE=atl101;37715914]Try to put as many points in shields/engines as you can. Spam ion weapons then use beams or if you don't have that use missiles. Upgrading doors is also useful so you don't get raped by boarding drones. Weapons that help you kill most of the flagship crew before phase three is also kinda important.

Man, they are obviously trying to fool you, their weapons and shields are online! Prepare for impact!!
gotta love how moddable this is
Got to the boss for the first time, and I didn't even scratch it!

My stupid boarding drone went into one of the closed off weapons rooms, and I couldn't send it anywhere else.
Meanwhile, my boarding crew was absolutely raped.

Well your loadout was horrible so...
When i started this game I thought it was stupid easy, I got to the last stand on my second playthrough, but I guess I'm just lucky. Now I've had 3 attempts that haven't passed the first sector.
Ok moders. My list of challenges to you.
1: More ships or more (automaticaly unlocked) variations of ships.
2: Multiple ship combat. Attain escorts by hiring them for a sector, finding allies or taking over ships. Against two or three enemies
3: Give several options upon traveling to a beacon. Like Perhaps there is one civilian ship with a load of options on ( Greet, ask for information, various piracy options etc)
4: allow the continuation of a fight after a ship yields
5: crew equipment.
6: Different categories for augmentation. Like allowing A player to have a single Shield upgrade, a single hull upgrade, single weapon aug, two "arm" upgrades, two Crew enhancers... etc etc
7: extra systems. Like fire control or interior defences.
8 better rebel fleet. Like Enemies that chase you across the map and get faster and more numerous the more you stay.
[QUOTE=EcksDee;37714873]Finishing two of the three achievements nets you a layout.[/QUOTE]
Ah thank you. For some reason I thought achievements were general. Not ship specific.

Most of this will be impossible, just so you know.

unless the game is decompilable but I haven't even looked so eh.
Finally, the USS Facepunch claims victory! Dual Ion Cannons + Halberd Beam + Attack Drone = Dead Boss!

Honestly, I only think 1 and 3 could be possible right now.
Went through 80% of all nodes on the Zoltan homeworlds (skipped the nebulas), didn't get the quest. :suicide:
[QUOTE=WitheredGryphon;37718330]Went through 80% of all nodes on the Zoltan homeworlds (skipped the nebulas), didn't get the quest. :suicide:[/QUOTE]
I did the quest on one of my very first runs without even realizing it
It's a pretty good ship
Got to the 2nd stage of the flagship, it activated drones, I died instantly. Literally, hull went from 50% to 0% in 5 seconds flat.
Hull has 1 HP left. Fires across the ship. 2 crew members left from 6, with 7 and 5 health, trapped in the med bay. Oxygen broken.
Fuck. :v:
that feel
when some little piece of shit with missiles and a burst cannon takes out 4/5 of your health because 3 salvos in a row you miss 3 missiles and 9 lasers.
[editline]18th September 2012[/editline]
correction: that feel when you fucking lose the game 1 crewman away from that annoying fucking kestral achievement that is always oh so close but oh so far (aka i have 4 or 5 crewmen of different species by the 3rd sector and suddenly shops stop selling people entirely) all because of one little ship.

RIP Little Mexico.
Juan, Juarez, and Jimejo you will be missed.
Got to the end boss, got raped bad. I've unlocked the Engi and Zoltan ships. But I find the Kestrel well rounded and to my liking. Although I'd like to try the type B.
Destroyed the final boss with Engi Ship, layout 2, sent out attack drones, EMP'd their shields and drone control, and wrecked them, the first stage was a walk in the park, and I almost lost shields to the drone swarm, but luckily my EMP attacks started hitting.

Here I go [img]http://forums.massassi.net/html/emot-saddowns.gif[/img]
Doubtlessly been asked before, but what does the stasis pod do? I have an option between grabbing it or a weapon and some scrap, which is better?
Fuck yeah, beat the Flagship for the first time, with the Engi cruiser. Just had two Anti-Ship drones, the ion cannon, a heavy laser I, and hull-breaker I, so didn't think too much of my offensive power. Came into sector 8 with about 400 scrap, cloaking, and stealth weapons, though. Really damn solid run.
I really do wish this had Steam cloud saving, though. Finished the game on my laptop with a run I thought wouldn't have much fruition, and ended up finishing with it. My desktop has the Zoltan cruiser unlocked on it, so I have fairly different save files now. I did make copies of the save game before I jumped into Sector 8, and before the third phase of the Flagship, so I'll be able to repeat what I did to unlock it on my desktop. Still, quite a major pain to have to shuffle all these files around. Some of that kickstarter money should have gone into getting Steam achievements and cloud saving working!

It's a part of unlocking the 8th fairly secret ship, the Crystal Cruiser. It's kind of complicated to do, though. Someone else might be able to tell you if you can do it or not. What sector are you in?

Don't remember, but I think it was somewhere early; maybe 2 or 3, since I recall dying not too long ago.
This just gives me a warm feeling inside.

Never mind that stasis chamber, the Rebels caught up to be because I was dicking around. Thought I could handle it. [sp]I couldn't[/sp]
Anyway, how would I go about modding, learning to mod, or reskinning/spriting/whatever-it's-called-ing the different ships and such?
Edit:
Sometimes I get this glitch where it keeps selecting crew members, even if I only want to select 1. And then I can't unselect them.
Anybody know what that's about and of any fixes?
What's that? You just dragged your barely functioning ship with a skeleton crew across the galaxy to help us defeat the rebels? Go fight the enemy flagship alone!
Honestly, who does that?

[highlight][I]FUCK EVERYTHING SIDEWAYS[/I][/highlight]
had three blaster IIs, raped everything, couldn't get to the mothership because it's not clear which beacons I can get to from a certain one and which I can't
the rebels seem to be massive dicks in this game, what are they even rebelling against?
Just unlocked the Kestrel B.
It has a fantastic layout, and what amounts to a four-burst laser isn't bad either. Can't say no to a four member starting crew either.
Mods? All I can find is a rebel fleet disabler
Just got this by trading Space Empires V and Zombie Driver. Feels good man.
