You've not seen me fail in this ship before. It's not a ship that's ever been kind to me. Maybe it's the extra micromanagement required by the fast firing Ion Blast2. Whatever the reason, it rarely happens that i get very far. Well not this time, this time it was a long and adventurous game. It really had it all...
- 3 solar flares in a row? check!
- unreachable beacon? check!
- hordes upon throngs unpon swarms of boarders? check!
- ridiculous crew deaths? check!
- 30+ missiles with no launcher? chekaroonie...
There's more than one occasion where my brains just went on strike. Losing crewmembers was sheer stupidity. Also the Anti-Bio Beam, i never used one before. I think it shows...
Sector 6 was interesting in that i had to jump all around the sector through the Rebels in order to reach the exit. Part 2, 47 minute mark. Almost a death sentance.
The final battle was almost winnable, but i couldn't sync the Cloaking device with the Mothership's surges. I was desperately trying to repair the damage done by boarding drones but just ran out of time. The ship held together for a very long time but in the end only proved that it was hard to kill. I regretted swapping the Repair Drone for the engine upgrade, that's for sure.
I'm filing an official complaint about the uselesness of the defense drone. How crap was that?! It kept failing to shoot down the biggest missiles and let so many boarding drones through!
Almost as useless as my teleporter...
Enjoy the journey:

PS. I have no idea how i scored the 'Weapons, they stopped working' achievement. Came as a surprise.
