I killed the Kronosaurus in the system just before Charon, and I got Volkov right after. Taking him into Charon made things ridiculously easy. It would have been easy enough with a +fast Lancer cannon, but Volkov seemed to be nearly invincible against the pirates. What's he carrying on that Wolfen o...

Upgrade to something other than laser. (check the F1 menu to see all the damage types, in order I believe) Heavy plasteel armor, for example, resists laser and kinetic by +300%, but particle and blast by only +25% (meaning laser damage is ~1/4thed against it). as armor level goes up, so does resist...

I just did my first Korolov mission. Got hurt pretty bad. My forward segment of armor was down to 10 hp, and the Korolov station didn't want to repair it (though it repaired all the others).
