I backed the project and got into the beta back in July, and it's amazing how far it's come, even from when I last played it back in about early August to when I launched it today, it's had a good amount of polish between then.
[QUOTE=Shovelpass;37724346]Not nearly as close as you think, it has 2 more forms after that one.[/QUOTE]
[B]FUCK[/B]
[QUOTE=redback3;37724378][B]FUCK[/B][/QUOTE]
And the second form is stupidly difficult compared to one.

I've found that having a pretty high evasion rate helps. By no means the greatest defense, but it helps.
I hate that damn triple missile launcher though, "thought you could tank the hits? [b]Have some missiles![/b]"
Has anyone beaten all the forms yet? If so, what happens?

You get a victory screen and then you get to see your score/stats.
I have beaten all but the last form with a cool type b kestrel

Second form wasn't hard at all since I have a pre-igniter for my weapons, which means that I fired 7 laser beams and damaged the shields instantly, which allowed to spam at the ship and quickly turn the drones off (they didn't do much damage because of 4 shields too). missiles is what got me down, and no ability to repair (I started the fight at 75% hull and by the third stage I was really low on it)
Bombs for the second form works.
Or pray that you manage to get their drones offline before you get swarmed.
It also helps to actually keep the boss ship's crew alive, at least one of them.
If you kill them all, it goes into some bullshit "AI controlled mode" which means all the systems auto-repair and crap like that. If you keep at least one crew member alive systems stay crippled.
I've gotten into a very awkward situation with the flagship.
I used my crew to take out all the weapons of stage 1 along with two ion-teleporting-missile-shizkabang and a Hermes missile launcher. Being the cleaver person I am I forgot to outfit the ship with any other weapons besides a boarding drone.
So, the flagship can't shoot me because no weapons, but I can't shoot it because no missiles left. My crew can't do jack shit as the pansy rebels keep running to the medbay and back into the fight before I can even so much as damage a single system or kill one of them. My boarding drone is also busy having a seizure in one of the blocked off weapon rooms.
This started out as an epic battle but has winded down to a very awkward staring competition that lasts until someone leaves.
I told you I was going to go Samuel L Jackson up in this bitch

8 Lasers per Salvo which takes out any shields, then the Fire Beam to boot + 2 defense drones? Get some

I'm guessing you're on the first form? It would destroy you on the second and third since it can still launch its special attacks even with all systems destroyed.
I wish the boss flagship was legitimately difficult instead of artificially difficult, in the sense that it should be tough while obeying the same rules you do. With the way it is (AI controlled mode, special weapons that can't be disabled) you're completely screwed if you take certain builds. You could go through the entire game with a "board then kill everyone" ship just fine, but that build can do fuck all against the boss.
I've only gotten to the last sector once
And I didnt really get to it, the game bugged out and sent me to the previous sector
[QUOTE=bunnyspy1;37723008]but that's the whole fun of it[/QUOTE]
It often feels like that the game is simply based on how lucky you are with events and hits and misses.

And so we begin.
(In case you don't realise, I'm starting to recode it. It loads the images dynamically right out of resources.dat. It plays the title music too.)[/QUOTE]
The question is, why.
[QUOTE=C0MMUNIZT;37725235]The question is, why.[/QUOTE]
Because we can.
And for da mods. Adding new ship types, changing layouts, new events, new weapons and rooms, new sector types. Perhaps multiplayer. All stuff you can't do with original.

Is it possible to add in more options for the resolution?
Phase 3 of the boss was so hard, first few times id get boarded, my ship would be totally on fire.
and i accidently boarded 2 rocks in phase 2 thinking it would be the last part, but it wasnt. and i lost my rocks :(
[QUOTE=Datsun;37725648]Is it possible to add in more options for the resolution?[/QUOTE]
as in full screen that actually works?
how the hell are Mantises so fucking strong
two of them beamed aboard my ship and just fucked everything up

If you've got imp blast doors, just vent the fuckers.
Otherwise, fight them in your medbay.

Usually the problem is, they decide to go around, fuck shit up then end up in med bay.
[QUOTE=Appolox;37726555]Usually the problem is, they decide to go around, fuck shit up then end up in med bay.[/QUOTE]
Vent the entire ship but the med bay.
I believe Imp blast doors can hold pretty much all of the air in the room and keep it there.
A great thing if you're good enough is teleporting firebombs onto your own ship if you have imp blast doors, trap them in the room with fire, then vent it when they die.
