If one crew is being targeted and has low health and the other crew has full or high health, exit the room, send in the high health crew and then the low health crew member. So can your own crew, but do this only if you have a clone bay obviously. Lvl 1 teleporter suffices to save a rockman.Ī boarding drone can kill an automated ship from system damage. A good use of this would be to take out their weapons. Lvl 2 teleporter can teleport non zoltan crew out of an automated ship before they die. This works best with mantis, mantis, rockman. Leave one behind to distract the other crew from entering the medbay. When someone is running to the medbay chase after them with 2 crew, they should outdamage the medbay. When fighting an enemy with a medbay and you have at least 3 crew on the enemy ship, fight in a large room. When boarding, use hacking on you target to prevent enemies entering or leaving. The enemies will not arrive at the same time and they will be tag teamed by your guys before the rockman shows up. When fighting rockman with a boarding party, if you are faster than the rockman, run away into a different room. This is because if the zoltan dies or is forced to run, the weapons will be powered off by one if there is no spare energy. Your lasers should hit when the shields are momentarily down.įire Flak guns a little bit before a beam weapon recharges so it will be ready to use the moment the shields go down and not beforehand If you don't need this reference, you can fire 2-3 seconds after the flak. In conjunction with a laser weapon, a good rule of thumb is to fire the laser when you see flak arrive on the enemy's screen to be safe. Do this so a 2 dmg shot isn't wasted on a shield.Īttempt to orient beam weapons so they hit shields first so that the rest of the beam can do more damage.įlak guns have a long travel time. Most important guns to least important guns ordered from left to right, this means that when the weapons system is hit your most important gun stays up.īarrage your shots, but stagger them with the pause button to deteremine which shots hit first (ex: Burst fire 2 aim, unpause, pause, heavy laser aim, unpause). Killing the entire crew by suffocation is feasible if they don't have a medbay/cloning/lanius. Kill the crew instead of destroying the ship nets you more profitĭon't turn down surrenders with lots of fuel as the reward in the early sectors, it will save you money in the long run and the extra scrap isn't worth itģ ion weapons mean you can disable enemy shields, weapons and o2. Long range scanners offer great return as they can point out where the fights in the system will be taking place Long range scanners makes Nebulas profitable for scrap farming since you don't risk going into an ion storm They are too stupid to look for another way out of the airlock. Use lockdown from crystal crewmembers to lock invaders outside who are trying to get in. Use the opportunity to chip at their health. Additionally enemies will seek the closest space that has air, so if your pilot is farther away than the medbay they will charge the medbay and you can keep the pilot in his room without suffocating.Įnemies trying to escape the room are easy pickings, enemies will try to fight together so when a crew is mindcontrolled, they will run to fight with him. If done properly you can kill everyone before the first round of enemy attacks come in. All enemies will die, and they will die even quicker if you open the doors once they're inside for some extra suffocation damage. If you have a crew that can all fit into the medbay and you get invaded and you know you have no chance in a straight up fight, open all doors except for medbay and send all your crew to the medbay. If the enemies are close to a important system and chipping away at your door, pass one of you crew back and forth to buy time while they suffocate to death If you have unupgraded doors, send someone to the doors subsystem, suffocate the heretics! Maybe in the future I'll add ship specific tips? I dunno if anyone is interested in that.) (updated 5th time, priority goals added, additional misc tips added. Some of my tips copied from another post.
