I have no idea how long I've spent playing this game...

Postby IConquer » Sat Feb 09, 2013 1:37 pm

But after about 4 days of owning the game... I finally got my first normal victory! About time!

I must say... the extra scrap rewards from killing just the crew is overpowered. So is being able to transport 4 crew at once. So is having a 4 man mantis boarding crew.

Yup... I beat the game with the mantis B.

Now I just have to unlock that elusive crystal cruiser and its B layout...

If you find the Mantis B overpowered, the crystals will not help much.

The Basilisk also has a very rough start, and can be wiped out in the first few jumps.

Speaking of which, is there a way of knowing the playtime if you don't use Steam? If there is non, well where should be! :?

Well, the BASALISK has level 2 shields and a defense drone at the start. By far the most defensive set up for any ship to start.

I don't think I have ever been wiped out in the first sector... ever!

There are fights you just can't win though. Those you just have to jump away from and chitter harsh remarks in the manti speech.

The only ship that could really touch you is one with identical missle launchers... and the chances of drawing one of those in sector 1 is really, really low.

Even in an ion storm you can still toggle you shields and defense drone to keep healthy til your engine finally warms up.

Are you a mantis? Do you lack ships to fight and Zoltans to chew? Look no further! Come to your nearest mantis warcamp in the Zoltan Homeworlds or Zoltan controled sector and ask for a free brochure about how to farm the Zoltan! Results may very.
