This game is definately more roguelike than sandbox. Along any given play through (which takes about 90 minutes, give or take) you may or may not be given appropriate options at appropriate times to form a boarding party centric strategy. IF YOU DO, boarding parties is a way to get a lot more scrap ...

Well, now you know that the drone surge is not related to drone control in phase two. But, it certainly doesn't HURT to destroy that drone control - the difference between winning and losing, even with full shields and engine, might be whether or not those two persistent drones are picking on you du...

Totally agree

This game is about the content, not about the production value. Although - I gotta say, the way they did the sound track, was pretty high production value!

Focus Fire your Burst Laser and Hull Smasher on the enemy drone control, enough to knock out the defense drone. Once done, you can launch missiles at their tripplie missile launcher and have the BL and HS focus on the shield generator.

Good luck, it will be tough!

The very first game I won was in the Kestrel A (Easy). What's more, I only found ONE decent weapon upgrade, and had to ditch the Artimus to get it. (I upgrade the Artimus to Pegasus).

I think what he was getting at is, that the devs used coding language and assets to create the game and not a 'dev' kit, and that everything you want to do can easily be done if you take the time to learn xml.. This comment made me lol. As a programmer, XML is cake. Using a .dat packer/unpacker is ...

So, a quick clarification,

I know that most of what I'm looking for can be done by unpacking, editing, and re-packing the existing files. But, I want it all to be integrated into a tool-kit.

I would pay another $10 for a toolkit. *If you support this idea, please respond here!* I want to create my own ship designs (both player and enemy). - Including the External Picture - Engine Animations - Room Layout - Component Placement - Component Cost Tables? -- I want to know how the starting c...
