Oh god the miss chance

[Sparilas]

It happens more often than not. I went through about 12 games and every time it has been the same. It has made me rage so much, it is essentially the only reason why i hate this game's guts now. Is there any way to reduce or remove the miss chance? Please someone enlighten me before i throw my mouse, keyboard and myself out of the window.

Just blow up their helm/engines. Alternatively, maybe try a boarding party if you're having trouble hitting things? Honestly though, I've yet to run into anything with a miss chance that makes me rage quit. I guess if you're fighting a ship with enough shields that you need every shot in a volley to hit it might be annoying, but all that shows is that you need to switch your strategy up some.

No, but if you can land a missile on the helm it will usually disable them. The helm can only have three HP max, and it usually has one. If you have a missile that does at least three HP and it hits the helm, they will not be able to dodge until it's repaired, allowing you to wreak havoc on their ship.

It is rather annoying in the stupid rock ship. Especially if you can't find any lasers/beams. Hasn't made me rage quit yet, though.

I know that feel, especially when you only have one missile, with a 17 second cooldown, while the other ship obliterates you while you wait for recharge.

I STRONGLY suspect the OP is not aware that there is no missing in the game, only dodging. Enemy ships with a high engines have up to ~50% dodge chance, whilst the early ones are around 10% at best.
If you don't want to 'miss' shots, keep focussing down helm and engines and suddenly you got a 100% hit rate.

I miss the helm and engines as much as any other part xD I just need a way to reduce the miss chance or just remove it altogether.

[Zaffre]

If you want to remove it altogether, you'll have to edit the game files, which I'm unsure of how to do. Otherwise, all you can do is score a lucky hit on their helm. For instance, I was only able to take down the Rebel Flagship because I scored a lucky bomb hit on his helm, followed by a Halberd Beam raking across it. which destroyed it. That way, I was able to keep down his shields with an Ion Blast and Burst Laser II while I used my Halberd Beam to keep damaging.

In a nutshell, you either have to mod the dodge out (this will apply to you too if I'm correct) or score a lucky hit on his helm or engines.

Simply use a spammy burst weapon or multiple with x shots and a Glaive Beam.
Keep the Glaive Beam charged and fire all your other weapons at once. When you bring down the shield to 2 or less, use Beam to damage helm. Beam's can't miss :3

Or you wait for the AW-Mod, one of it's weapons is the Focus Beam (3+power, 1dmg, pierces shields).

edit@below: Hehe, I think people will fall for that bait ^^

That doesn't help at all. Well, that's it for me i guess. The game proved to be too shallow after all :/
