Just wanted to let you know guys that I finally did it, I beat the game just today. It was on "Easy", but it didn't feel easy at the very end. Wanted to share this because after reading several discussions in Steam I could relate that the game was very hard, it took me a lot to figure a lot of things, but thanks to some of the tips in the forums and also some YT videos I finally beat the game. I won't play anymore this game haha And again, I share this so I can give a little more hope to those that are...

Differs of course but usually I have a turbolaser rocket and a beam. I focus on evasion upgrades first nowadays but that just means I get to the final sector and then die. I mean...

So on my last run, which was my first normal victory against the flagship (hooray!), I stumbled upon drone control in a shop about a sector away from the last stand, and decided to pivot towards buying it and a Mk. 2 combat drone on the same page, since I still had the scrap to spare for both at that point, and I was curious to see how well the Mk. 2 would hold up against the flag ship. When I activated the drone to assist against some of the harder encounters, and subsequently many of the phases of the fl...
