I find this is the best way to reduce damage Save your cloak to dodge the missile volley of the flagship. Beams do not reduce your cloak and the augment stealth weapons negates this for all weapons

You can fire lasers, missiles and ions during your cloak, but it reduces the time for each one fired. This not only allows you to delay their weapons charging, but to dodge the first volley as well Beware however, as they can often be dangerousĪlways wait for the enemy to fire to activate your cloak. Nebula beacons (blue circles) half the distance the rebels go on the next jump, so you can get more jumps in the sector. Green(neutral sectors): Generally less enemies, more stores and traders, Red (hostile sectors): More enemies = more scrap, Purple sectors (nebulas): no sensors, very random, ion storms, more jumps They usually have a quest to unlock a ship and even if you've unlocked the ship already, the quests will give great rewards! Ideally they should be one step away from the exit by the time you jump from the next sector Try and hit as many jumps while staying just ahead of the rebels. If you're going to die, die fast and gracefully and start again. Keep healing to a minimum and spend scrap on engines(future damage mitigation investment. If they have some deadly stuff and you can run away, run away.

Upgrade piloting if you don't want your run to end because of a single stray missile turning your evasion to zeroĬheck out a ship's weapons before a fight. 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. Turn off shields if the enemy only has missiles. Turn on engines only when you see shots coming at you, the correllary to this is turn on oxygen only when you see nothing being fired at you otherwise put in engines. (Obvious one) Don't let a zoltan pilot a ship Try not to put engis on a station as they should be moving around to fix things, put them at a subsystem if possible Mind control a pilot for evasion to momentarily go to zeroĬlonebay lets you do risky events like giant spiders without fear With automatic ships, destroying piloting is more important than their shields

With clonebay, kill your own crew in order to bring them back to full health for the next fight Do this so a 2 dmg shot isn't wasted on a shield. Most important guns to least important guns ordered from left to rightīarrage 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 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. 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!
