How to unlock type C ship layouts?
I have all of the ships and their type B layouts (some with 2/3 achievements, some with 3/3). I figured having 3/3 achievements would do it, but it hasn't. Do have to beat the boss on all the difficulties or something? Would appreciate feedback from anybody who has figured it out. Thanks.

I can't figure it out either!

Edit: Figured it out! Go to the list and press type C, hover over a ship and it tells you how to get it. You have to get to sector 8 with it's type B layout with advanced mode enabled ot unlock a type C layout.

same, i got the new alien cruiser by launching the game, but no hints as to getting c layouts.

Reach Sector 8 with any given ship Layout B, and you get C.
It says so in the ship's list in the hangar, when you show the "C" variants.

Also confirmed, as I already unlocked a ship by reaching sector 8 with the "B" type of that ship.

1. Beat the game with a Type A ship.
2. Reach Sector 8 (The Last Sector) in a Type B ship.
That's it.

Where do you get this? Another one told me about something with "A", but it doesn't mention this in-game. What did I miss?

just found where:

in the hangar, select list, at the top of the new ship list menu in the right corner there will be A,B,C layouts, go to C and a new list of hidden ships appear, hover over one any of them and they all say the same thing, to unlock: get the B variant to sector 8, thats it.

He beat me to the punch, but he is right if you check.

That's... what I said further up.
Just those "You need to do <things> with Layout A" get in the way. I really want to know where they got that.

[~LOG_ERROR~:ATTEMPTING_RECOVERY_OF_CORRUPTED_SECTION]

~AM VERY DISPLEASED WITH YOUR ACT~

~AVE GOTTEN DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS~

~ITH YOU, I MAY BE ABLE TO RECOVER YOUR REPUTA~

[~LOG_ERROR~:SKIPPING_CORRUPTED_SECTION]

~OU HAVE YOUR ORDERS, ACT ON THEM CAPTIAN. AND I HAD BETTER NOT HEAR OF ANY MORE INCIDENTS, OR I WILL HAVE YOU COURT-MARTIALED. DO I MAKE MY SELF CLEAR?

YES ADMIRAL, I UNDERSTAND, END TRASSMISSION LIETENANT.

SIR, ARE YOU ALRIGHT?

YES LIETENANT, I AM FINE FOR NOW, SET A COURSE FOR SECTOR ALPHA-DELTA-VICTOR-YANKEE-GOLF, POINT ONE-THREE-NINE-NINE-EIGHT.

[~LOG_ERROR:SKIPPING_CORRUPTED_SECTION]

~APTIAN, WE ARE BEING HAILED, IT SEEMS THE FEDERATION OUTPOST IS EXPECTING US.

PUT THEM THROUGH.

CAPTIAN! THANK GOD YOU MADE IT, WE NEED HELP!

WHAT IS THE PROBLEM SERGEANT?

YOU KNOW THE ENVOY THAT WAS PLANNED TO DOCK HERE ON THE WAY TO THE CAPITAL? WELL WHEN THEY DOCKED, ONE OF OUR JUNOR TECHS DIDNT GET THE ORDERS TO NOT INSPECT THEIR SHIP. TURNS OUT THEY HAVE SEVERAL ACTIVE MARK FOUR WARHEADS ONBOARD, THEY WERE PLANNING TO SUICIDE-BOMB THE ORBIAL COMMAND STATION!

WHAT? HAVE YOU INFORMED COMMAND?

YES SIR, THEY INFORMED ME THAT YOU WERE ON THE WAY, AND THAT YOU HAPPEN TO BE EXPERIENCED IN DEALING WITH THEIR SHIPS AND TACTICS.

GOOD JOB SERGEANT, THEN LET US TAKE IT OVER FROM HERE, DETACH THEIR SHIP FROM YOUR DOCKING CLAMPS. LIETENANT, PREPARE THE GRAVITY TETHERS.

AYE, SIR, MAY I ASK WHY?

WE CANT LET THEIR SHIP EXPLODE RIGHT NEXT TO THE OUTPOST. WE WILL HAUL IT TO A SAFE DISTANCE, AND THEN AIM FOR THEIR CARGO BAY.

AH, I SEE YOUR PLAN NOW SIR, THEIR SHIP IS UNARMED, AND WITH THE WARHEADS IN THE CARGO BAY...

EXACTLY, DO IT LIETENANT.

[END_LOG]
