I came Back from the dead for a question on Power Shortages?

Postby dark33hawk » Tue Oct 10, 2017 1:36 am

I am playing With the Ospery A and I'm at the rebel flagship first stage. I have the capacity for five engines, four shields, and a defense drone mark 1. With only enough power for one. So which one should I pick? Fourth shield, 45% dodge, or the defense mark 1?

I'd say it depends on the situation. Evasion is probably your best bet but when the Flagship fires missiles, power up that drone instead at the expense of something else, like powering down your artillery or taking a bar or two from Oxygen.
Don't worry, you can put it back once the barrage has passed.

You don't need 4 layers of shield.

You should post a picture of your current ship layout though. Unless you've already gone ahead and won/lost. Asking for help on the forums is not going to get you a prompt response after all.
