OH MY GAWD!!!!! Aggrevating

Postby dabanhfreak » Sun Dec 16, 2012 6:32 am

Long story short, Kestral destroyed by boss with 1HP, literally 3 seconds before all my lasers charged.

Just wow.

FYI Upgrades: Full shields, engines, weapons [Hermes, Burst II, Hull II, Heavy II]

*sigh*

On a positive note, already beaten it twice.

In those cases, I like to imagine the explosion and debris kills it posthumously.
"Haha! Eat that, Federation scum!"

People have failed by narrow margins than that. I've seen two different screenshots of someone getting a game over screen while the boss is exploding in the background (thanks to the travel time on weapons and near simultaneous firing.)

I feel for you, I got killed by a 2hp final boss.

"Meh, half hull should be enough. I'll just kill him now."
