I know it looks fine at a glance, and if the draw wasnt so poor it would be doable.  I have a relic that retains my hand, and max hand is 10 cards.

7? of them are powers, none of them are block.  The issue is that the 4legged bird gets stronger with every power played, and has a 4-hit attack with completely reams through the buffers.

Essentially I had enough juice to take out 1 minion, but all of my conventional block as well as my other damage cards are in the bottom of said deck, and to get to them I have to power the bird boss up.

I did end up losing this, though I admit I held out longer than I thought I would.  Too little damage and block dealt up front.  Was a really fun run, I seemed to get all the cards I needed to make a relatively compact powers deck.

The game gives me a new ship. I transfer into it and have my old one fly with my. I'm about halfway to the jumpgate before I realize that the ship was all it gave me. No weapons, scanners, etc. The gun that my starting ship had two of, costs 5 times of the money I had on hand, each. I couldn't even afford the most basic missile.

I would have transferred the equipment, or at least transferred to the old ship, except I could find no way to order the old ship to dock somewhere so I could transfer.

I figure I'd just fly on, and just have my escort ship deal with threats. First mission after that, I have to slowly track a pirate ship across multiple sectors, leading to an attack by about half a dozen ships. Wingman does piss-all and I die within seconds anyway. Last autosave was quite a while ago.

Found out what happens if you fall down a trapdoor in zone 5.  It's pretty  rude, actually.

Decided to play a new game for a change. Repeatedly got my ass kicked across multiple engagements by a griffin I have come to call Cuntshits Mcflaps. Because fuck 'em. First fight I used a wakestone after getting stomped, really shouldnt have. Then it flew away. I know its the same griffin because the damage done to it is persistent. Second fight Im not sure what actually happened, but I died. Third fight I came quite close to killing it thanks to its only weakness; explosive arrows to the face, but it electrocuted me at the exact moment I ran out of stamina and stood still.

One of these days that fucker will flap no more. But not tonight, apparently...

Several times restarted, since I only had one, maybe two nearby stars in jump range in each attempt. Probably more if I used ER ships, but that wouldn't allow colony ships to follow so what's the point anyway? Sure there were stars in range at sub-light, but that takes literally dozens of turns at minimum.

Finally got one with lanes close enough for starting ships to get around. Found some neat planets. Then the bad things became apparent. Lost a few colony fleets to silicoids. Lost a colony to an attacking queen. Almost lost a colony fleet to a colony trap. Delays from the silicoids caused me to lose another colony fleet because their destination was colonized by an enemy empire. Research rolls were crap, no cruiser-sized freighters, and apparently no dreadnoughts. Finally just gave up when the AI rebellion happened. I wasn't even boosting it or anything.
