Doing hard mode with one piece of f****n' metal

Postby GordonOverkill » Tue May 06, 2014 3:49 pm

Hey guys 'n girls! I am absolutely in love with hard mode, I die alot and I've got another Let's Play series started with the Torus :-) Would be great to hear an expert-word or two about how to improve my performance!

Well, and here we have a complete and successful playthrough! Wahuuuu :-)

First Sector: Getting those shields upgraded (17:21 minutes)

Mind the profanity. Before a moderator notices, I'd remove that from the thread title.

Well, that's how I named my ship and it refers to a weekend tour that I recently did with a couple of Heavy Metal bands, so no offence intended <3 Anyway, thanks for the reminder! Edited the threat title ;-)

One of the most popular thread titles on this forum is the "Fuck You, FTL" thread.

Not that I think we NEED more swearing or anything, but it's hardly something to worry about.

The fourth episode is online, in which I try to cross a Rock sector and get a really heavy beating, surviving by luck rather than skill. Especially here I'd be very glad about some expert suggestions what I could have done better. It seems to me that especially rock sectors got a whole lot more dangerous on hard mode and I regularly get into big trouble when I enter them.
