Well, if the sample size isn't big enough, there will always be further doubts.
If it's too big... I'd get bored...
I think I struck a decent middle ground with 100.

I actually prefer the nickname Ani (being the first 3 letters of my first name) but sure, why not :P
Ani's tuffs :P

Ah yes, my igneous rocks that are made of volcanic ash which was ejected during an explosive volcanic eruption on my trip to Krakatoa that fateful day. However did you know about them? :P

Can you make one that replaces Lanius A? This ship could get the 20% O2 achievement easy :mrgreen:

Well, I've done a quick* run with this ship.

Not bad, not bad at all.

* Quick as in, it's less than an hour long. I made mistakes and got very careless.

Not for one of the easiest achievements in the game, no.

Well, someone forgot to read the strategy tips. Oh well, decent run anyway :)

Yeah, I thought I got the gist of the ship with the whole "Combat Drone, no guns and automated ship." But I don't like wasting my Drone Slots with Repair Drones. Now if the ship had four Drone slots... although there wouldn't be a hotkey for Drone #4, but who uses the keys beyond the ones for the guns?

But I should have paid more attention to what I should have truly used it for.

Also, if you are to play it in CE, the chances of encountering boarders who don't breathe air is higher than you think. You might get AI Avatars paying a visit as well as Lanius outside of abandoned sectors.
So avoiding those places like the plague while a viable strategy, is not the best to avoid boarding parties.
