The Nisos quickly runs into problems against ships with 2 shields (unless you've picked up another weapon to add to the dual laser). The Leto is next to useless, and even against a ship with only one shield you're counting on both dual laser shots to hit to do just one point of damage. And at the sa...

Well, shoot...I stand corrected (again)...downloaded the ship editor, gave the Osprey 3 x autoloaders and 27.5 secs later with one bar on the beam she was ready to go. But, weird that the autoloaders do affect the beam but manning it and the pre-ignitor does not , at least IMHO

I'm almost certain the autoloader doesn't make any difference to the artillery beam firing, in the same way that having a pre-ignitor doesn't make it available instantly. I'm guessing because its not grouped with the other weapons, it doesn't get the augment benefits. When you move a crew member int...

20 points for each ship, 10 for each beacon and 1 point for each scrap collected. Multiplied by 1.25 if on Normal. Best scores usually come from games where you've been able to board from early on; you generally get better scrap and 'random' rewards from taking enemy ships whole then from destroying...

A few mentions in this thread about cloaking? Can you get cloaks for the Osprey & Nisos? I thought because they had the beam they couldn't get cloaks, and I can't recall having seen cloaking in stores when I've played them, though I hardly ever buy it anyhow so maybe it's been there and I haven'...

Its been mentioned elsewhere by others, but the most important thing for me personally would be some kind of random/variable factor to the boss stages. Like 6 (or more!) different configurations, and you never know which 3 you'll get, or what order you'll get them in. Something that make the player ...

Wait, what? So, if a player's in game character is racist/does racist things, that automatically means the player is racist? Or will become racist by sublimating the game's attitudes? But it's ok to have players enjoying ultra violence and sexism, but if they should say or hear the "N word"...

What does it matter to you if other players 'boost' their scores by farming elites? They want to grind through a prolonged game like that, good luck to them. Comparing scores is a pointless (see what I did there?) exercise anyhow; how do you compare scores on a Stealth B run when Player A lucked int...

My understanding is that it is random, whenever you buy it, with a 66% chance of getting the repair drone and 33%of getting the defence drone.

Nev, Your boarding choices made my argument for me! How selective can you possibly get! Boarding two ships that have the fewest number of crew in the game, one of which is frequently an Engi...you could hardly have selected easier ones to board on, except maybe for the Engi crusier with two engis on...
