I never live long in games like this either Hardenberg. I'm old and not as quick as I used to be...and I sport a dodgy wrist. I don't take games like this seriously. It's pretty, and I enjoy the "flying about a bit shooting at stuff". It's one of those games I will pick up and play just for a quick fix.Hardenberg wrote:Why bother?

I'll admit, I have been getting my teeth kicked in. I keep pushing a little further for credits, sometimes just selling or trading everything for credits so that my next run will be better, but then I get smeared in the first or second areas by enemies who just are superior in every freaking way. A bit frustrating but I am slowly picking up upgrades that invest in the long-term. Like more credits found, more weapon slots, better shields, even getting a shot at a random choice of 2 possible weapons to start each run. I started with a Gatling Gun II. It was fun :3 but still got murdered by Okkar intercepters. I don't like running >.>Hardenberg wrote:Got to Sector 3 so far, mostly by running away since I'm getting my ass handed to me left and right.
Got mulched during the tutorial, too. Shortest run was spawning next to 3 alien fighters, which blew through my shield, wrecked the life support and sent me home in a box about 1.5 seconds later.
Yeah, I get it, it's supposed to be hard, but you're so at the mercy of the RNG it's not even funny anymore. The flying, the visuals and the shooting is nice, if you get around to enjoy it for a bit. But unless I miraculousy reacquire the reflexes of a 15 year old hopped up on Red Bull, or the devs implement a "tottery old geezer"-mode, I think I'll just pass.
Getting one's teeth kicked repeatedly in for a whopping 300 spacebucks* and a handfull of worthless minerals really makes you appreciate all the other stuff in your library.
* = Given the frequency in which the game kills you, your hourly income is probably still decent, but ATM it doesn't feel like you're getting frequent dyer miles, it's more like the game insists on making it crystal clear that you're too old and too slow for it, and you don't deserve to see any improvements.

1. Jink. I can't stress this enough. You're not in a gun turret, you're in a fighter. Don't stop moving to the S Club beat. Seriously, move yo ass. You have a wall of ships coming towards you? Fine, turn around, point your guns at them and fly backwards. But make sure to jink.
Incidentally, I think the keyboard might be better for this because there's no time lag between moving from one side of a joypad to the other.
2. Hide. Dodging is all well and good, but you also have plenty of cover out there. One thing to note is your opponents are sometimes short on brains. They do sometimes spaz out and crash into asteroids and they can't shoot through them. There's no shame in taking cover if your shield is recharging.
3. Lasers are good against shields. Gatling guns are good against armour. Don't be a plum and switch as needed.
4. Okkar Interceptors are mean. And they don't really give you much in the way of reward, so get the flip out of there when the interceptor approaching alarm goes off. Once that alarm goes things are going to go downhill fast.
5. Front Shields are your friend. They'll stop a reasonable amount of firepower and your main shield'll stay up.
6. If you're in trouble, spam those missiles. Seriously, they're expendable. Of course, so are you....
[..] imminent full release [..] featuring a fully voice-acted story as well as an all-new boss fight in the completely revamped end sector.
