Deadliest enemy

Drako Slyith · Mon Dec 27, 2010 7:09 am

My most dangerous enemy is that magic red button reading "Self Destruct" I will willingly kill myself when I but something bad, lose money on trade, take too much damage, ect. I actually rarely am killed by enemies, though my worst enemy that is not myself is probably the sung; slashing at me with their fancy particle weapons while I still have starting equip...

I used to do that heaps, before the Info panels came in with "honoured permadeath" traits.

Now I try to avoid death as much as possible... >.>

I would say I honesetly self destruct quite often when something does not go the way I want, it makes things quite easy.

Sometimes I go for permadeath but self-destruct in the first system if I can't find an Extra-Special-Rare-Awesome-Item (usually solar armor or 4+ segments of heavy meteorsteel).

Heh, I start a new game anyway

Wolfy, you really should lead by example.

Triple posting is just encouraging young forumers to practice bad habits.

oh hi, I was in the process of deleting them.
A forum bug and a connection issue resulted in a multi-post.

Not example positive enforcement there is that?

Its a evil bug that occurs quite often, I once had 15 posts the same thing, because of it.

IIRC, you left the posts for george to see?

Well, last game I played I had Honoured Permadeath right up to the system before Heretic. Then my computer crashed. D:
So deadliest enemy: my computer.

That won't stop you from playing... You didn't actually "die" although the game will think you died but I would just "resurrect" in the system where your computer crashed.

That sucks, thats why I never bother with never dying in game. I use them as save points it saves time.

Yeah, you annoyingly lose the no-permadeath status, but that has been fixed in 1.04+ (hopefully) where the crash-game is saved separately and original savegame is left intact from the last gate.

If I play using the stock ships, the it is a toss up between the Charon Pirates, while in the Charon System, the Ares Ascendancy, and the Ranx destroyers. The Ares and Ranx victories vary depending on what reactor and weapons I use; however, the Ranx destroyers are more successful due to their armor, and thermal weapons.
