So I was having fun killing 1 shield ships with this fragile piece of poop, ready to upgrade power and weapons to support larger weapons, and all was going well until I started running out of fuel and this piece of shit came out of the blue.
gg FTL, you shall lay dormant on my desktop for another few days.
Don't be mad at FTL for your own silly mistake. Why did you get rid of your Anti-ship drone? If you had that, you'd have been better off. Anti-ship to help knock down a shield, then disable your Heavy Ion and reroute the power to your Heavy Laser, then target both lasers (2 and 3) on the enemy shield. Once the shield is down, target the enemy weapons room.
Badda-bing, badda-boom, easy peasy, disaster averted. Only reason you lost was because you were single-minded in your battle. If you got rid of the Ion and unlocked that beastly Heavy Laser Mark 2, you'd have been laughing all the way to the next sector.

Apparently you don't realize there's a Version B of any of the ships, and that the Engi ship doesn't normally come in the color red. Or that Version A doesn't spawn with any of that at all.

You'd still have been able to disable the enemy's shield room with just the two laser weapons. So I may have been wrong, but you still ended up dying when you could have won. Must hurt!

How? He can fire a maximum of 3 shots at them which wont damage their shields at all.
IIRC Heavy Lasers fire like 3 shots each, and the Heavy Laser Mark II does 2 damage per shot, as opposed to 1 (of the Mark 1). That'd be more than enough to take down the enemy's shield room.

The heavy laser 1 fires one shot. The heavy laser 2 fires 2. Ergo you can't pierce their shields.

Heavy lasers do 2 points of HULL damage, it doesn't matter how much damage they do, since one bolt damages one point of shielding, ergo, he couldn't pen their shields if he tried. The only way I can see is some funky rerouting of power, but the problem is that since he's got such a massive charge time, by the time his 3 lasers are ready, their shield will have recovered from the ion.
So has any mod showed up apart from the one that removes the rebel fleet advancement ?
Oh god 24 hours of FTL and I still haven't beaten the flagship on easy. I'll never get past phase 2 of the darn thing.

If you turn autofire off, you can shoot all of your weapons at once and actually plan your attack.
lol I just fought a rebel ship with only two weapons: a hull beam and a beam drone.
literally the only way he could feasibly damage me would be in an asteroid field
gg mate
So have the devs said if they plan to update the game with more content or dlc or are they just going to fix performance problems and bugs?

Those are always the best ships, that and the unshielded drones that are good for loadout requirements.
I'd imagine they suck to go up against while using the Stealth Ship though.

Are you trying to make yourself look stupid? You barge in like some sort of master battle tactician without even knowing how the game works.
At least try learning the game before you make such stupid posts.

i always instant restart if i meet someone with a drone in the first two sectors of stealth ship
[QUOTE=Cheeseist;37949064]i always instant restart if i meet someone with a drone in the first two sectors of stealth ship[/QUOTE]
I restart near constantly while using the Stealth Ship if I take more than like X amount of damage early on. Even though It's the ship that got me to the crystal sector and the crystal ship I find it fairly difficult to be all successful with.
I still play it like, constantly though in hopes of beating it's reqs and getting layout 2.
Ok I'm not happy with this game, got to sector 7 with a decent ship and now I came back today to try and have a go at getting to sector 8 and my save is gone :(
Played this game 16 hours total, and still the farthest I've got is the 2nd stage of the flagship, and that's only happened once. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. One thing's for sure, I've had a lot of fun doing it.

I got mixed up between the Lasers and the Burst Lasers (or whatever they're called). I wasn't trying to be a master commander battle-technician pirate-of-the-seas kind of guy. This thread was just slowing down a bit so I figured I'd post something to liven it up.
I didn't intend for any of my comments to be condescending. In fact, I was trying to be a bit cheeky in a poor attempt at humour. My bad!
Sorry for my silly advice, Mbbird. I'll not post something stupid like that without double checking the info I give from now on.

Look, Faster Than Light. We've been friends for a few weeks now, and I've gotten really close to you. I really, really like you... but, have I offended you in some way? Why is it that you treat me so?
Cloaked. 102% evade.
[i]GET HIT THREE FUCKING TIMES[/I]
When I travel to another point on the map regardless of whether an enemy is there my weapons always start charging. However when I come up against a ship that can cloak and it does choose to cloak at some point during combat, my weapons stop charging. Is this a bug or just a bad design choice?

I guess that the game doesn't take >100% evasion well and it just resets to 0% or something.

Unless you've had 102% before and it worked.

Ive had 110% before, it doesent go higher then 95 i think
Nah, > 100% evasion is fine. I have no idea what would've caused that... Unless he's lying. Probably just some small bug.

I think just bad design choice that weapons don't charge when enemies are cloaked.
Also I am a teribble dumbass. I missed the chance for both the Rock and Slug cruisers. Rock because I blew them up, and Slug because they jumped since I couldn't get past their damn shields.
Fuck everything.
[editline]7th October 2012[/editline]
I've got a nice run going so far. Decided to give the Stealth Cruiser another chance, and I'm growing fond of it. Might just my good luck though, literally every store I went to had the shields. Which was good, since I had to skip it every time until Sector 3.
I know that damn Flagship will still give my bum a hard fucking though.
