Ship customization, achievements help by EgoRik

Just want to show you my personal ship customizations that I use to play on fortissimo difficulty in Symphony.
Also I'll tell you how to open some secret achievements.
Hope someone will find this helpful.

I've had good luck with twin Double Cannons (one of which is a Furia), a Furia Shotgun and either an Energy Cannon or a MegaBlaster also oriented forward. Concentrated DPS.

For lower-difficulty score-grinding, twin Double Cannons, oriented to spread out a bit, and twin Scattershots, on the wings, oriented to fire sideways, cover the scene admirably.

Wow thats schocked me , with my cheap Setup
I must try it out :)

[Countess Isolde]

All pretty good loadouts. Scattershot + rockets is good, I tried it. I'd recommend double cannon oriented horizontally, and megablaster, scattershot and rockets aimed forward, with rockets bound to left mouse. Tends to get me great scores on Fortissimo.

Murphy's Lawyer, yes, you need to find and equip (both furia).
P.S. I have 2100 songs lol :)

[Murphy's Lawyer]

It has to be 244 different songs, I confirmed it myself and I saw a thread on these discussions where a dev said it has to be different. I tired to copy, paste, rename a song too and it didn't work as being a different song.

Also question: for the staccato and crescendo achievements you need to find a subwoofer and crescendo furia for each?

[EgoRik]

Murphy's Lawyer, im really not sure about this, because i was playing 244 different songs, so i recomend to do this for all.

[EgoRik]

arkanium77, try all of them, it depends on your playing style, but as for me- my favourite is DOUBLE CANNON X3 + ENERGY CANNON X1

[Murphy's Lawyer]

Does it HAVE to be different songs for the hidden achievements? i don't have 244 songs.
