I hate enemy ships with tons of scatter laser burst thingies. I mean, if they have two of those (and sometimes they do, along with a bajillion missile launchers that set fire to everything they happen to be within a mile of) that'll get past essentially all of your shields, then still hit 2 or 3 essential systems...

I think the runs that have been the most successful for me have been the ones where I get lucky and get a good weapon right at the beginning. Then I can take out everything all the way to sector 4 or so without taking much damage, which makes me get shields 2 and then tons of engine. Which upgrades all of my crew, and I get an insane amount of evasion.

Aw man, I loved Beasts & Bumpkins! When you told two people to get a children they'd say things like:

"Fancy a bit of the ol' rough'n'tumble, ey?"

Can't remember much else than this, but it evokes nice feelings. I think it was a nice town building game as far as I remember!

Not too sure about the several game-modes (FPS, TBS and RTS), especially if some quests need to be done in FPS format. Kind of like how I didn't like the RTS part of Space Rangers 2...

Aw man, I don't wanna spoil anything, but damn.

Let me just say there was way too much comm chatter, so I missed a lot of it (shooting frakkin' cylons by the handfuls does take up most of my capabilities). Long story short, I have to restart the campaign, but it was genuinely one of the most emotional moments of my gaming history ever (along with Portal 1's ending).

There's enough to unlock

I kinda wish opened campaign modding. I totally see this having millions of different ships and an open-ended world

The Demise DRM scheme is.... well, let's just say it's the second time running out of keys has happened...

I had that happen to me, and usually restarting the game appears to work. Alternatively, try to verify game cache on Steam and check their forums, as I seem to recall seeing something like that over there

Yeah, getting to the last sector on the first run is luck. I've gotten there twice. Once I died against the flagship, the other time it was almost trivial to kill it. Two burst lasers is enough for just about anything! I think I also had the initial artemis missile, which made big kabooms.

I love the Engi, but it's super hard on the 4 shield enemies like someone said. You NEED to find the drone recovery thing and get as many drones as possible. Also, I think getting burst lasers is probably a good idea since it takes down shields, and the drones can do the rest.

I've also found myself timing my shots a lot more carefully lately. I had gotten used to the autofire, which can wreak havoc on the ability of your guns to penetrate the shields.

You guys are making me want to play some more

I have the hardest time doing achievements. I guess these are ACTUAL achievements, not like
