Beat the Game! MY thoughts.
Posted: Fri Jan 10, 2014 6:56 am
Hi guys, im new and this is my first post. Just beat the game on normal and bought it yesterday. Probably have done 20-30 runs and with some luck/research i was able to fairly easily beat the game.
Luck is what happens when opportunity meets preparedness.
That being said i was actually extremely frustrated at times when i'd face a ship way out of my league at times.
So I absolutely love this game. It takes strategy and thought and THANKFULLY doesn't play like other strategy games and just cheat. It's a perfect combo of luck and skill and i can see myself playing for much longer.
I used the Engi ship and was fortunate to have some blessings along.
4 engis
1 rock
1 human
Shield - 6
Engine - 4
O2 -1
Med -1
Wep - 7
Drone - 5
Weapons
Ion blast II
Heavy Ion
Burst laser I
Drones
Anti ship I
Beam I
Repair Drone
So i was lucky early on and got an ion bomb early on. An event got me the heavy ion which i gladly took instead, unfortunately i lost my weapons expert, but quickly got new crew due to obliterating some slavers. Saving a station got me the repair drone which saved my ass more than a few times and finally i got a nice burst laser to make it allll good. I debated whether to get defense or offense drone wise, but had plenty of scrap and bought the beam drone and some engine upgrades. By sector 5 i had 3 shields so i was set and basically just upgrading little perks here and there.
It was a great run and just wanted to share my experience with you all. Sorry if it wasnt too in depth with my thoughts, it's late and i honestly have nothing but good things to say about the game.
