just fought flaship for the first time
I had an op starship and couldn't fire any of my guns a single time because of hacking. Great design

jump away
jump back
repeat if weapons are hacked again

PROFIT!

Also would be nice to have any offensive measures apart from weapons. For example even hacking their Hacking would be enough without jumping.

This is why you need other support in addition to weapons
defense drones can shoot the hackers down.
you can disable their hacking system
you can jump away and hope they will hack a different system.
you can hack their hacking system with your own hacker

Then your ship wasn't OP.

This is why, fast firing mediocre weapons are MUCH better then slow charging but powerful weapons ^^

You need to prepare for a system to be hacked, Zoltan shields, and those ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ drones. Welcome to the world of rogue-likes.

I'm pretty sure this is the first game I have had to put on easy just to see if things get easier..................................they don't when it comes to fighting flagship.

Def drone is very unreliable for shooting hacking. Okay, it gets it 4/5th the time, but the remaining 1/5th it gets through. It's not like the Def Drone shoot down the Hacking when it's already onboard your ship.

It doesn't from normal to easy.

It does from hard to normal and easy.

Get a teleporter, especially if you're not playing on hard. Get to the missiles with your men and go crazy.

I had my ship vacumed out due to hacked oxygen...
Ryuu Jun 16, 2018 @ 4:03am 
I think level 2 oxygen can counter that? Or clone bay, to a degree.

Yes they do. Flagship on easy is massively easier because all the artillery rooms are separate from the main body of the ship. So if you kill the guy in the artillery room and destroy the artillery, it never comes back (unless you kill everyone and then the AI takes over).

Connected artillery is hard mode
