Yeh I upgraded my doors once, but when the boarders walk to it they just open, leaving my plan to starve them of oxygen near impossible.
I'm having terrible trouble dealing with boarders - I've tried evacuating the oxygen, upgrading the doors etc and I'm still getting hammered every time it happens. Any tips?
I just avoid Mantis space, they are tough gits and always board. A pair of them can cause some real mayhem especially when you have missles knocking off systems. -

Yeah no kidding. Earlier today I was building up a really good cloaking Rock ship with fire bombs, until I got boarded by 4 Mantis buggers. No airlock doors on the Rock ship I was using meant I had to fight them. I had 6 crew...who were all promptly butchered.
They definately need to require the teleporter to be charged up or something before use to give time to attempt to knock it offline. -

Registered 6 years agoAnd another night playing this game for too long. I unlocked the Zoltan cruise so that needed to go for a spin. It's a nice ship but made a few bad decisions resulting in a early dead. -

Registered 8 years agoWoo, my first victory.gif)
Score of 3336 with the Kestrel on Easy. The fast firing Ion Cannon with two triple shot lasers is devastating. Focus the Ion on the shields and let the lasers rip ships to pieces, with no need to worry about running out of missiles. -

Echoing Whizzos comment, if you can get the Weapon Pre-Igniter, you can then take out the transporter with a missile before they can even use it.
They definately need to require the teleporter to be charged up or something before use to give time to attempt to knock it offline. -

Registered 10 years agoApart from ship unlocks, do you get any persistent weapon unlocks, or do you always start with a "vanilla" ship?
I'm nowhere near completing this, even on Easy! -

Had such a great ship and crew on the go last night and then I accidentally let the fleet catch up with me. Boarders, fires, weapons knocked out, door controls off-line... it was horrible. -

One thing ive noticed when getting my ass kicked im still having fun -
It was edge-of-the-seat stuff, for sure. I was so close to being able to jump away and then the spreading fire took my engines offline and I was done.

Registered 3 years agoI think they said it went into more/better music from an outside composer, more/better writing for the missions and extra artwork for more ships and races. -

Registered 4 years agoI got to sector 6 with barely a scratch using two combat drones and the ion canon on the Engi ship. Beefy shields and a bunch of upgrades, I was sure I could have at least done a bit of meaningful damage to the boss. Ran out of drones mid battle without a store in sight. Just opened the doors and let everyone off, I couldn't have harmed a space wasp. So annoying..

Well, I think it's one of those games you can be abysmally bad at and still have heaps of fun. -
I find upgrading the engines to max and having a fully maxed pilot for dodging is more effective than fully upgraded shields.
