Subset Games Forum

On my 4th try I finally got to the final boss, after an insanely hard fight I blew it up, I thought I had won until I saw he had fired one last missile before he died, and it killed me. Game over right after killing the boss... wtf man... just wtf.

Thats actually pretty amazing, much more interesting than just another win, you will soon get used to those boring wins.

Congratulation because you kill the boss.
But you got some bad move, why the boss have missile when near dead?
A good player know how to disable enemy weapon after weaken their defense.
So the advice for you is target enemy weapon after their shield subsystem near red.
Happy learning. You are doing good, at least you are not a weak skilled whiner that commonly found in this forum.
May the scrap with you

Congratulations,
Here's your posthumous Hero of the Soviet Union medal:

Yeah I understand trying to take out the weapons, but I was trying to take out the shields first so i could get to the weapons. The problem was that the systems were getting repaired almost as fast as I could damage them. In this play through I never got access to an ion weapon for the systems.

The flagship's weapon systems are isolated from the rest of the ship, so boarding them to kill the gunner then destroy the system is an effective strategy.

I guess if it would have been your first boss kill, that would be annoying. but once you've had some experience with the game, i agree with jamotide. if this happened to me i'd be laughing my ass off.

I understand where you are coming from, this happened to me, but we both shot at the same time (his super weapon) and you will break apart faster than the boss.

But I just sat there laughing, thinking "oh good, another way this game can SCREW US OVER "
If it was your first boss fight, then sorry mate, that is just bad luck. But if you got that far, then you shouldn't have to much trouble doing it again.

Damn! That is indeed a good strategy. Gotta try it out!

Keep the second gunner from the left alive. As long as you have three shields he can't hurt you, and if you kill all the people the AI takes over.
