Flagship Stage 2 is NOT HARD!

[Employee 427]

All I hear on youtube and forums by the "pro" players is "OMG ITS NOT FAIR 2HARD4ME" but honestly I have NO problem taking 0 damage from this stage. The Drones are easily managable with level 4 sheilds, which I see many of the whiners usually neglect. Personally I think the first and third stages are hardest, the super sheild being a huge waste of time to break and the laser just plain chaos. And the Cloaking Hacking Combo is incredibly disrupting. So whats so hard???

simple. knock out the missles then Drones, Kill everyone in the center of the ship, leave the one human on the lasers. simple.

And here you go again, being a form w.h.o.r.e. (<~ why they censor that word is beyond me) You just had to start another new thread because you want attention.
Please stop. Just don't open any more threads and fade into obscurity.

Thank you, and, goodnight.

Truely you dont understand the point of forums.

I'm glad you find 2 so easy. I will agree with others that 2 is hardest... I've run it with full shields and still find it tricky. As for your comment that stage 1 is tough, I'd have to disagree with you... I can usually do that one in my sleep.

Hard or easy depends on your loadout.
Pretty pointless to compare

For one thing, stage 2 has more hull points than the other 2 (1 and 3 have 20 while stage 2 has 22.) You now have to deal with the 3 artillery weapons and the drones as well. The boarding drones are always a pain, no matter what crew you have. To top it all off, the power surge is pretty much guaranteed to screw you over unless you have cloaking (even still, it often doesn't charge in time to cover each surge).

Atleast its not another top 3 list. I have to agree you are a forum w.h.o.r.e.

Power Surge never affects me at all.

The second portion of the flagship is easily the hardest, and I'm quite certain that's by design, as the first part is quite the pushover in most cases, and I'd wager the developers did that intentionally as well, so the shock of first time players thinking, "YES! I AM THE GREATEST!" would be even more crushing.

Your advice, "Just drop a hack on them! EASY!" is great too, since that defense drone they have doesn't think that's such a good idea, adding a bit of complexity to that strategy. Sure, cloaking helps, if you have it. Bad luck at the shops? Not enough scrap to grab it? Missile hit your system? What systems are you going to pull offline to keep your weapns, shields, cloak, and hacking up?

There's no single answer to dealing with the flagship, particularly on stage 2.

stage one is easy. Teleport crew into boss weapons and take them out completly, then he cant attack you, Stage two and three are hardest for me.

Try Hard. The missile launcher and laser rooms are connected to the rest of the ship, so crew can get in to repair them.

You obviously do not play on hard. You should. Don't be a puss.
