I just hate it when your game gives you like 30 ships in a row with leto missles, eff those stupid things.

Forget what I said about Ion based Setups not working against the flagship. I went in the first phase fully expected to be utterly destroyed. Turns out that by using my THREE Ion Blasts to lock down their shield/drone control/teleporter on the 1st/2nd/3rd phases, respectively, was enough for my boarding crew to systematically destroy each and every single weapon before my Blast killed it. :V

Of course, I needed maxed out shield and a 55% dodge rate as well but whatever :V

Also managed to kill the entire crew of the flagship, predictably enough, that triggered the AI warning and I had to destroy it normally, would've been kinda awesome if the flagship stopped working and I could get that irritating triple missile weapon for myself, even if I wouldn't be able to use it. :V

Hue, pretty sure this is a really good score, not sure cuz I haven't seen other people's but it's over 1k more than like my other top 5 which are all within like 40 points from each other.

Crystal Cruiser fell right into my lap today. I managed to get the crystal pod on one jump and get c-man out of the pod on the VERY NEXT JUMP, was pretty sweet. Even sweeter that I found a Rock Homeworld, easily found the Crystal Homeworlds from there, and just slid on over to the unlock.

It was actually a fantastic run. I was playing Red Tail and dropped the lasers early on for Pegasus Rockets and a Teleporter (got an early Rock too) in Area 2, and then I picked up Ion Bombs after, and then bought Breach Missiles and Heal Bombs later on. I was actually worried I would run out of missiles, but boarding did most of the work. Even the boss was a cinch with just a defense drone, missile spam, and teleports, with a beam drone on Round 3 for the shield. I actually wanted to get the fire achievement but couldn't set fires on the weapon rooms fast enough.
I also picked up a scary amount of crew (15 in one game) but nobody ever seemed to die so I had to keep dismissing them. On a related note I also got the "get 6 species on the Kestrel) as a result.

Get teleport early and you absolutely roll in the dough, it's awesome.


This game isn't actually that hard, but maybe that's because I'm playing with the easiest ship. I still haven't unlocked any other ships either besides the "beat the game once" ones. Hmmm...
