Trying to get rock ship achievements

[Raving Rabbid Soldier]

The rock ship is the hardest for me to work with. I've gotten achievements for all the other ships and have even beaten the game on easy with the rock ship. But I am having trouble with getting the rock ship achievements.

For the "Is it warm in here" achievement do I have to kill a burning enemy on my ship or theirs?

You have to kill them on their ship, and as I annoyingly found out today your crew has to give the killing blow, they can't burn to death in combat. As for the second one, just find a ship with only 1 Defense 1 drone have both missles target drone control and fire at the same time. Good luck with the 3rd one though.

Those two will unlock B and getting to 8 with B gets you C, and with C it is simple, though I won't spoil.

Either way you do it, though, the reward for that last one is huge.

Usaully I don't do that well with Rock Crusier, but for some reason inbetween when I posted this and now I got both achievements in one go. Rock is fun, but lack stamina on missles.

It does rely on getting replicator and or a good laser weapon early, but i do like the ship, not as much as the mantis B but still. Also the Rock ship was the first ship that I was able to max out every system so yay.

Boarding system with fire bombs and rock crew. I think you get more for wiping out the enemy crew and stripping the ship.

Oh right, forgot about boarding despite it being my favorite tactic...

This is not true. The only actual criteria for getting the achievement is getting a killing blow on an enemy in a room that's on fire.

Even then, keeping an enemy in the room and having the rockman get the final hit in is the harder part. Hacking a rockship that's on fire will be your best bet. They can't get killed by the fire and when they run when health is low (if rockmen even run from a room on fire) the locked doors will keep them in to get the kill.

All I was saying is that it can be achieved on your or the enemies ship. If the situation arises that you have a rock boarder (preferably) and fire bombs/natural-carnage or.. a teleporter, mind control, and fire bombs; there's no sense in missing out on it due to a misunderstanding of the achievement.

Isn't this a ship achievement? Thought that meant you need to be using a rock cruiser for it.

For the third achievement I know I'm supposed to be looking for rock planet and I already have the third ship. Am I suppose to rename my crystal crew member something?

Any Crystal can activate the portal to the secret sector whatever its name. There however is an exploit where a quest marker will appear on the map at the beacon where the portal is, if a Crystal with a certain name is part of your crew.

That's correct. My response was poorly worded; I've edited to clarify it. What I had intended by "any ship" was yours or the enemies.
