QUOTE (LurkerOutThere @ Sep 27 2012, 08:16 AM)  Unlocked the mantis ship yesterday, it is amazing but you know what's even better? It's B variant, sure it starts with no weapons and only 2 (mantis) crew but it starts with drone control w/ boarding drone and a 4 pad teleporter next to a 4 pad medbay Wait until you see the rock B - the Shivan. |

I seldom use drones, it's just too unreliable to see if you'll get the right drones to actually do stuff on top of the power and consumable costs of running the drone program.

QUOTE (_Pax._ @ Sep 27 2012, 02:22 AM) Yeah, I'd really really like to be able to decide WHERE new systems get installed. Having a four-space telepad would absolutely rock. And for most ships, a two-space Drone Control is all you'll ever need. Meanwhile, the Engi ship doesn't need more than a two-space Medbay. Edit to add: CURSES, that patch yesterday broke the trainer I was using to cheat. Dammit. Use Cheat Engine, then. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Finally managed to down the boss on easy. Unlocked the Kestrel B and the Fed ship. Tooling around in the Kestrel B now and LOVING it. Teleport + built in Mantis + Rock guy I bought + 4xLaser to down the weapons and the pilot == MURDERDEATHKILLDESTROY!
In all seriousness though, great game. Now I gotta convince the wife to start drawing artwork for custom ships... |

I'll admit, I still play on nothing but easy. Normal just seems too pointlessly brutal. Easy is still a fair amount of challenge unless I hit a sweet spot of gear/opportunity and start rolling the opposition early on.

I managed to buy a rock man and a tele porter first thing, and been on the lookout for a fire beam or fire bombs ever since.

No, but fires aren't something I worry about now.
Also, I like the layout of the ship. |

QUOTE (CanRay @ Mar 23 2013, 12:05 PM) No, but fires aren't something I worry about now. They should. Your Rock crew may not take damage from fires, but the fires can still fuck up your ship systems,. A ship system going down to red from fire damages your ship by one hull point. The fire can kill your atmos system, and your Rock crew CAN die to suffocation. You're likely going to get non-Rock crew who can die to fire. Fires aren't "no big deal" just because you started with an all Rock crew. You still have to contain them. QUOTE Also, I like the layout of the ship. Well yeah, it's a cool ship. |

I always preferred ships with LOTS of exterior hatches/airlocks. Nothing puts out a fire like the total absence of oxygen.
With good doors, vacuum is a good anti-intruder measure too. Well, for non-rockman intruders, anyway. |

I remember venting a few rooms to deal with intruders only to have them make it to, and destroy, my door control. That sucked.

Which is why, the moment they got to that door control room, I immediately close all doors, and send in crewmen to finish the intruders off.

Yeah, I reinstalled. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) It's been tiding me over today, while (impatiently) awaiting Bioshock: Infinite's launch ... in about four and a half hours.

I'm still undecided on if I'm excited for Bioshock Infinite. I loved the first one, but was rather disappointed by Bioshock 2. |

Infinite should be much more like the first one, in terms of quality. Take this, for example: none of the original team, and especially not Ken Levine, had anything to do with making Bioshock 2.
But they did make Infinite. |
