5thHorseman's Playthroughs of Each Ship

[The Captain]

Hey, 5th Horseman, I don't know how far in advance you've recorded stuff, but in your more recent videos your voice seems a little more quiet compared to the game sounds. So if I turn up the volume to hear you better, when missiles or especially heavy lasers hit, those are on the too loud side.

Keep up the good work.

Re: Red-Tail ending

Someone is forgetful. {Stealth Weapons}

Yeah I noticed that while editing, and then again while watching the video on YouTube. Most of my mistakes these days are because I've forgotten I set something up to work a certain way, so I do it the "old" way instead.

Yeah that was a screwup. I have 2 audio tracks, the game and my voice. Usually the game is 75% and my voice is 100%. I accidentally swapped them for these videos. it'll be fixed in the next one, I promise!

Well, I think the sound is better, but your Stealth B run ended not with a bang, but with a whimper. Thought you admitted defeat too soon.

But props for posting your mistakes.

I don't play and then decide to post. I decide to post and then I play.

But yeah. I never saw the way out that people posted in the YouTube comments. Though now that I know it's there it seems really obvious, as all of the most clever solutions do.

Re: Basilisk #2

I think you made things harder on yourself when you bought the cloak. There were probably better uses for that scrap that early in the run.

Like hiring both Engis and the Zoltan? Away team: 2 Mantises, Engi & Zoltan.

Sadly those 3 guys weren't available in that store, or I may have.

I'm not convinced either way on the cloaking. It's very good on this ship specifically because we have no offense except the mantises, and the cloak can really help avoid that first volley. Plus, I want it for later anyway so why not nab it now? However, It did not see a ton of use (and in true Horseman fashion I forgot I had it a couple times) so the extra dodge or just scrap in the bank could have been the better option.

No, I was thinking more on the line of offense, like more teleporter and weapon system power; something to help deal with auto-ships. There did seem to be a lot of boarders, so maybe even lvl 2 doors. I don't know if it was the cloak shop or another shop, but I thought the Ion Bomb looked like a good idea, despite the low amount of missiles on hand.

Aww, where's the fun in that? Besides, more boarders = offense.

You skipped the vortex Why??? And i really can not understand why you hate the Vortex so much. It is way better than the Nisos

And you should consider to play more "easy" ships first. Your last runs with a bit "harder" ships were so painful. You lost so much loyal souls Like the poor Sluggirl today. It is heartbreaking
