How long did that take you? I am surprised there was enough air in that ship to have all the fires going at once.

Stealth B is definitely the hardest. I haven't managed to get past sector 4 yet. With all the other ships I can win nearly all games. Engi B is not the hardest, because you can just sell all the crap it starts with and have an even better start than most ships. Kind of sploity and besides the point...

I played nethack with hjkl not sure about the other ones.

So the few times I have picked up a fire beam and tried to use it I have been left less then impressed. It generally gives me 1-3 fires and since it takes such a long time to charge and requires shields to be down it doesn't seem worth the work or power when I could just be blasting the hull apart. ...

I was waiting for a cut to a full salvo instantly destroying a lesser ship.

Pre-Igniter is hyped for a reason - it's by far the best aug in the game, bar none, unless you are playing a Torus in which case it's second best. Drone Recovery is the second best by far, unless playing a Torus, when it becomes the best. After that, all augs are situational. That said, some augs a...

You can fully level your crew on the torus on the first jump if you get the right ship. as long as they just have one laser and one missile weapon you just have to wait for them to use up their missiles are you are good. You don't need to target o2 with the ion just target their shields or cock pit ...

You don't always see the aguments you want making some of them more attractive. Also don't knock stealth weapons I was skeptical off it but after trying it the effects are amazing with a 3 power stealth and fast firing weapons you get loads of time to just pound on the enemy. With longer cool down 4...

But how could you show the out side of the ship and the inside? Also the tardis would only work if you could teleport inside enemy ships

I would go with ion personally if I had the choice between the two. 20% chance not to lose a shield bar to some thing you can't effect vs gaining a shield bar that is taken down 15% faster seems like an obvious choice to me. Most of the time vollies when you are getting hit all at once and don't hav...
