Subset Games Forum

Just beat the flagship after 9 tries. 9 full tries getting to sector 8 every time in various setups with just as varied chances of actually beating the evil thing. Brought it down with a mantis boarding team (who regularly got to 6 hp during play), pegasus missle, two burst lazer II, and cloak.

[spoiler]Phase 2 is the hardest, imo. Between the missle launcher, the constant drones and the power surge I had to scramble to mitigate all that damage. The damn boarding drone got past my defense drone too, the asshole.[/spoiler]

Thanks Subset,

I don't raise my arms, fist pump and triumphantly shout often and never at the end of a game. That was rewarding and frustrating at the same time.

How did you celebrate?

I haven't.
I get to sector 8, then the damn powersurge kills me each time.

This is as Zoltan A.

I was thinking a little bit ago that I'd love to have the purple Pirate Jolly Kraken on a black t-shirt. I was also thinking that the different insignia would be pretty cool, or perhaps some colored silhouettes in perhaps little segmented blocks (Have a distinct impression in my mind what I'm thinking of but words fail me...) Any ideas?

Make a shirt of the flagship being given the bird, thats my victory dance.

How did I celebarte? HOW DID I CEEBRATE?

I started again, on nooooooormal.
Scary, I know.

I also shouted YES at the top of my lungs and almost hit the roof with my fist, but haven't done that again.
Great game, I will keep playing it while I pretend to do homework.
Just need to unlock teh slug and mantis ships, then I will have EVERYTHING

My celebration was remarkably similar to this. Beat him with the Red Tail on easy, switched to normal using the Federation Cruiser, went to town.

And in regards to the OP's spoiler: My trick for phase 2 Flagship is to immediately board their missle station and concentrate all firepower on their droid station. With good guns, I've managed to disable the first boarding drone before it ever reaches me (though it still causes a hull breach), and with the two starting drones deactivated the power surge often isn't enough to bypass shields with a little luck.

How did I celebrate the first time? I think I yelled whoo really loud. Like a a lot. And the fist pumping. So not so different from you.

Mostly now I just breathe a huge sigh of relief, haha. It is stressful getting chased like that!
