Sector 5. Shield 3, Defense Drone Mark II. Add in a Burst II and a Burst III laser. Hell yeah, unstoppable destruction. Oh look, I found a rebel shipyard. Investigate? Hell yeah, it's probably a mission to unlock the Artillery Cruiser. SUDDENLY BOSSFIGHT SHIP ROCKETLAUNCHER INSTASHOTTING YOUR DRONEB...

I just had one whilst READING THIS THREAD. Jumped into Sector 2, first encounter was with an absurdly powerful Auto-Drone (Normal difficulty). Beam drone, missile launcher, Ion Charge thingy. First rocket hit my shields, things went downhill from there. I was about to just call it a day and shut off...

Neat idea. Makes stuff easier

Manning priority for me is Helm (duh), Engines, Weapons, Shield, Cloak (aka, the repair-duty g...

By sector 6. If you're playing the ship right, it shouldn't pose a problem. One of my Mantis boarder managed to rack up 30 kills by himself in a whole game, which means he probably had ~22 by sector 6... ntm my other 3 boarders :P Just board pretty much every ship (but Auto-Scouts), eventually get a...

Btw, are you trying to modify the data.dat directly? If so = doesn't work.

If you're using GMM, ensure your files are coded in ANSI-format.

Only normal weapons. The point of the achievement is to rely ony our artillery beam, after all.
