[MOD] A Strange New Galaxy 04.01.15 (AE)

[Metzelmax]

I always aim for weapons. Suffocating them takes to long in my opinion.

I played a little bit of the mod and died a few horrible horrible deaths. I will give it another go tonite. Here's a short clip from a VERY hard ship: http://www.twitch.tv/frumple1/c/3516105

I dont want to be that guy, but activating the drone might have helped^^.

I might consider adding 1 more power to that ship, so you dont have to depower the oxygen anymore to use the drone early on.
Admittedly the Uz'ran ships are the hardest of them all. For starters I recommend the Federation or Anterian ships.

[UltraMantis]

It's no knock on the ship. I was just terrible, and i had played for a long time already so i wasn't paying much attention. It was my own fault for underestimating the drone, it really good when i'm up against it.

I played more and i won in the Treel Infiltrator. Again getting stupidly lucky drops Shock Laser early on...
Mod stability was great and i got a nice bunch of custom events and a few unique sectors. It all works really well. The ship itself is a very strange creature. Zoltan Supershield + Cloak = OP but your Weapons and Shields are permanently exposed = good balance and fun.

IMO Neutron missiles were weak already. Yes i did fear them and tried to get crew out of rooms i thought were targetted but they never felt like much of a threat. The aiming is random and there's no hull damage to worry about.

As far as using them against the enemy, i don't think i've tried that. The usual kill or board strats were much more dependable in the long run, and relying on missiles is sometimes tricky.

Don't forget the upcoming Cloning Bay will completely eliminate the risk of crew dying (unless it gets destroyed and you cant repair it quickly), which further nerfs Neutron weaps.

[Metzelmax]

I have seen that on your streams... and might should have pointed out at some point that the enemies had weakened neut. missiles down to 4 dmg since patch 0.2^^
