I think it was the first time I didn't finish reactor upgrades, too, but I actually had a little more energy than I knew what to do with in the end, since I only needed six for weapons, only got up to five in engines and had no drones to power.įrom my limited, half-arsed experience, I would advise against buying the crew teleporter on Hard Advanced if you don't already have a proper boarding crew lined up (i.e. Cloaking 2 would have been nice I was hit in the second phase and had to facetank a drone burst. You do get a lot less scrap overall I only went 4 short of my beacon explored record (102 vs 106), but only went 1650 (vs 2300) in scrap collected. Again with a double loadout of Flak I and a Weapon Pre-Igniter, though this time I had to buy it all from stores, and I only had the starting Pike Beam to go with it. It took plenty of tries but I managed a first victory on Hard on a Zoltan B, coincidentally my first Zoltan victory (got close but no cigar a couple of times).

So if you careful around the flagship O2, you can sustain disabled ship for pretty much the full duration of the fight. With hacking however you can torch med-bay, hope enough people get there, hack it to kill them off, let eveything get destryoed and repeat! One of the best things about fire against the flagship is that even if you kill all the crew, systems don't get autorepaired if on fire.
WRT Fire Beam on boss - it normally is not that good as the flagship has too many people (unless assisted by enough laser do deal a lot of damage). Starting weapons are a bit clunky, but powerful on average. Killed the flagship without much trouble even without a defense drone (normally a top priority for me).Īnyway, the Swallow is simply breathtaking. Charge Ion (I underappreciated this thing, with maxed weapon dude it' 2-power Ion blast 2 with margin of error in just 1 miss, not two), dual lasers + bl 1 + bl 2.
However, I had 2 scrap recovery and by sector 7 which I milked to it max letting the federation base to get demolished a bit, but not fatally everything finally paid off. It was a tense run as Bad things were constantly happening and spent gazillion scrap on hull repairs. On the third stage I was like - flagship boarders en masse? Oh, they are already dead, no worries I had to heal people in two sessions, because my organic guys didn't mix with Lanius in the med bayĤ Lanius are just amazing crew. By the end 3 humans and an engi were crammed in doors, sensors and piloting and Lanius dominated everything else on the ship. I visited 2 abandoned sectors and got 3 more Lanius. Think I should try to play with hacking and/or mind control a bit haven't yet or teleporting, haven't even owned that in Advanced.Just unlocked the Swallow yesterday and immediately xlaimed a win with it (a rare sight on hard for me). Had 3xscrap recovery from about sector 5, still didn't make me beat the boss. Screw fire beams, I'm selling them next time I find it. Flak mk1, dual laser, fire beam, small bomb, defense drone mk1, cloak, full shields and engines. Just lost against the boss again in the Swallow(Kestrel C) this time.
