For Dreadwing you either have to constantly dash away UNTIL he misses a swoop (don't even bother trying to "dodge" it)

Or yes, use a shield and block his ramming.

[Niveras]

On a related note, a 'cautious movement' toggle would also be nice not only to prevent falling, but to prevent stepping up one-tile blocks in certain conditions.

I've noticed that holding shift causes you to walk, allowing for more controlled jumps. Is this what you were meaning or am I misunderstanding?

It helps a bit but that is not quite what I mean. If you hold shift, the game will still allow you to happily walk up an incline, or off a fall into a pit. The toggle I suggest wouldn't allow you to change elevation at all (preventing both falls and from stepping up 1-tile slopes).

Re: Dreadwing, juice gives you a speed boost, and beakseed stuff gives you a jump height boost. Makes the terrain a little more navigable quickly.

Ohh and go left first and kill the penguins over there.

What kind of equipment should you use when you fight Dreadwing? I just tried twice but failed both times with tier 2 stuff.

Also, can you make your ship bigger? I've run out of room already and I have nowhere to put chests down.
E: Do I have to spend 10,000 pixels on the shady license guy?

IIRC you need crew. Settle down on a planet, build a settlement, and plop down a Colony Deed that's available from one of the NPCs. After a bit of questing around for the colonists, you'll have the option to have them join your ship's crew. Get the crew large enough, and you'll be able to apply for the upgraded license.

Thanks for the tip.

I do want to gripe a tad regarding every game in this fashion... why is there no option to sort of just make a blueprint so you can measure things out easily before you start to build? Rimworld has that option, as does Prison Architect, but for some reason other games are missing it. Having to count things out manually is pretty tedious.

You can also just find people in villages or cities on other planets, do a lot of quests for them, and they'll eventually want to join you.

@Dreadwing
I just hid under the teleporter. The swoop cant reach you because it hits the roof. Then just dash out occasionally to attack, or use a guided rocket launcher.

I kinda lucked into an assault rifle for Dreadwing. Took until I upgraded my ship once, though... I think I was at the first green metal?

[etgfrog]

For the dreadwing fight I had just stayed on top of the hill and moved down the hill when it did the crush attack. If you want to fight it normally then higher equipment is desired.

I did manage to find a wand with heal aura, very useful on the standard difficulty when you want to go get the items that drop if you die.

[etgfrog]

I will have to say, do not underestimate crew, mainly the engineer will reduce fuel cost by 10% every so often. I got one rather quickly and I haven't had to refuel since the one trip to the moon. At this point it costs me 6 fuel to go 1 vertical map distance.

I have to say I'm really enjoying the secondary attacks.

I have a burning assault rifle that fires an explosive burst for its secondary. The explosions happen around the cursor.

It's basically a rapid fire rocket launcher that sets things on fire and can act as a flak cannon.

I've found a hammer that can leave pillars of flame from the secondary fire. Though attacking requires wind up so I tend to use swords but it's useful to gain some space.

[Neonivek]

The best secondaries for slow firing weapons are ones that essentially boil down to "attack again".

Shotgun has an outright "best" secondary as Burst Shot

...Iunno. I have a grenade launcher shotgun and it's pretty powerful,
