In an earlier game a few days ago, I tried to fabricate a Hyperion reactor, but I get the megadrive instead. At first, I did not think this is a problem, but I reroll the megadrive to get another megadrive again, and again, and again. It took nearly fifty rerolls before I finally got the Hyperion. W...

Sadly, nothing can repair the advanced tritium cannon. However, do not throw it away! If you find a Teraton fabricator, you can convert it to another random level IX or even level X weapon. SPOILER! (Tip: Into the pit, drop several rods of fuel with a total level of about 40 just to be safe, drop se...

As for other ships that could be useful (but not overpowered) as playerships... EI200: Compared to the EI500, it can haul more stuff, but it is bigger, slower (but not unplayably so), and requires six armor sections (great for solar refueling, bad for anything else). Its equipment would be no better...

As for crew, ships could be completely automated, much like the Huygen's Explorer, and the Iocrym probably used a low tech solution (by their standards) to do it. Come to think of it, the Iocrym must have shoddy software for them to be neurohacked by puny humans. Here is an idea devastating to would...

Yes, Jenna is "The Load". She is slow and fragile. That said, she is useful for destroying pirate swarms during the superfreighter escort missions right after you recruit her (and for four against one battles in the Battle Arena), and completing those missions without wingmen or overleveled equipmen...

Getting a response after pressing the key for Desperate Escape may be okay; the player expects a response after using other powers. All I care now is for Shatter to get off the "I" key. I have double pressed "I" more times than I care to admit, and blowing up friendlies (and then getting blacklisted...

I did a search for every item Dvalin could accept. In theory, if the player can find five intact items of everything rare or veryrare that is level VI or under, the player can barely get enough XP for the Ion9 cannon. In practice, this does not happen. It is difficult enough to find the items in the...

Often, I accidentally use Shatter when I bring up the Domina power menu, but I did not have a mishap until now. My last game was great until I pressed I to access the menu (so I can use B or D), then accidentally press I again, and fragged all three of my wingmen in an instant. With my game ruined, ...

Currently, the player can play the EI500, Sapphire, or the Wolfen. Will there be more in future versions? The EI200 and Ronin ships are other Commonwealth ships that appear to be suitable alternatives. Later in the game, maybe other ships could be unlocked? I would like to swap ships and pilot an EI...

The Gaian Demolition Cannon is also extremely heavy, weighing 20 tons.

Maybe a quick fix for the Lazarus would be to cut power consumption down to 500 or 600 MW. If the Commonwealth is normally limited to 500 MW, and if 1 GW reactors are Ringer tech; then "prohibitive amounts of power" can simply mean in the 500 MW range, especially if a weapon needs 100 to 200 MW to u...

In early game, I usually use what I can loot. Tinkers can make Solon shields out of damaged class I and II shields. If I am not using lasers, and I have not reached Charon, I use Solon shields if I cannot find better. That said, this depends whether I can find an RK15 or a decent particle or blast w...

Gaians could manufacture and replicate ammo for thermo cannons as needed.

Of course, that still will not help the Gaians escape premature death by Ringer station. Maybe Gaians and Ringers can have mutual neutral relations to give the Gaians a chance.

With an Efficiency Lazarus and an Enhanced Hyperion, it is possible to use level X weapons that use up to 300 MW, such as the IM90 or Fracture Cannon, provided your other devices do not bump power consumption much. This means no engines to speed up slower ships. Even with that setup, there are some ...

Back on topic, when fuel consumption is equal, I prefer lower point and fast recharging shields because of fuel consumption. Shields draw full power while recharging, and less when they are at maximum strength. That said, I have favorites: Solon: If the ship has no laser weapons equipped, the Solon ...
