The 2 Hidden achievements

[Kerensky]

Still trying to get 'Fire at will' which has no tooltip explaining how.
I did however finally figure out how to get 'Never tell me the odds'.

SPOILER ALERT!!!







You have to play on the 'Asteroids on steroids' mission, equip the Space Folder drive, and at some point in the mission when the asteroid field starts to get somewhat dense, fire the hyperspace ability.

Very cool achievement, I thought about it logically and the rampant Star Wars references of that mission, and it suddenly hit me. If anyone has the 'Fire at will' one figured out, I'm trying to figure that out too!

[kasnavada]

I'm wondering too.

Fire at will is to destroy Captain Black's Eye ship (Giant Triangle or Refer to Engineering section to see which one) in the last mission in under 60 seconds...

Hint: Fire at will itself is a hint. A certain type of weapon... lol. Use many of those and its special power pointing at where his ship will first appear.

[Rogue]

"Never tell me the odds" is reference to the Millienium Falcon in Star Wars.... Hyperdrive during the asteroid run.

C-3PO: Sir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately 3,720 to 1.
Han Solo: Never tell me the odds.

Could swore I've done that.. but maybe it wasn't quite fast enough. I'll have to try it again, thanks!

Got "Never tell me the odds" just now, on accident! Hyperspace ended with a large asteroid in the middle of my ship though. Miraculously, my shields and weapons survived so I still managed to make it to the end.
Though the collision did take out a large container, a small engine, some generators and my sensor dish :(

[Kerensky]

Confirmed on destroying the Eye quickly. I'm sure I've done it quickly before, but I guess it wasn't quite fast enough!

you must kill it befor he turn the second time use at least 2 deathrays and and the scythe so go into the battel with at least 1000 points and a lot of energy.
Black has a lot of emp weapons so keep your shields up for the main weapons.

[FreedomFighter]

I failed to figure out the ship layout to get "Fire at will" achievement. Can anyone guide me?
*Edit
Nevermind, i manage to get it only split second before he turn. My last gatling laser manage to back online and i see that the core of Cpt.Black ship were expose. Shot Deathray at it and he down. Geez, i swear, i am about to give up and that was going to be my last run before i quit.

Just taken out Black on the final mission in 42 seconds.....and still not got it. Maybe it has to be done with missiles only, ♥♥♥♥ knows...i give up.

"Fire at will, commander!" is a quote from Star Wars, referring to firing a superlaser. I'm guessing you need to use the death ray.

[JeanDeaux]

I'd be interested in a screenshot of this setup. I've not had any luck getting the right orientaiton of weapons and shields.

[Polysorbate]

Alright, I've figured it out. It's just a matter of doing it as fast as possible. The best way I've found is to to have:

1) As many of the heavy missile launchers as you can fit, all oriented towards the bottom-left. I recommend just recycling most of your weapons after the triple minibosse fight you so you'll have as much room as possible for missiles. Ensure all the missile launchers have at least 3 power.

2) One super-shield.

3) Lots of cash saved up, like 1500 or so.

Just as he comes into range where he can shoot you, activate the invulnerability power on the heavy shield. Then activate the Fire Rain ability on ALL of the heavy missile turrets. He'll die very very quickly.

Here, I made a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHegsE5KXUI

Just finished uploading so it probably won't be available in 1080p for another half hour or so.

There's no voiceover, I'm planning on redoing it with voiceover and making fewer idiot mistakes later. It's pretty self-explanatory though.
