Endeavor

[Mackan1242]

Do anyone know any tips or trick on beating endeavor? Because the farthest I have got is to 10 lightyears but then I got really lucky to get there but then I died to a asteroid that slung in to me with a high velocity (on a planet).

Honestly, you just have to be really careful. Make great use of the fast-forward mechanic. Do everything in your power to conserve every last scrap of energy, even if it means staring at the whole system for a bit waiting for the right opportunity to boost to the next source of fuel.

Planets tend to be good sources of fuel, but avoid windy planets or high-mass planets. It's almost always a net loss going to planets like those.

And also make use of secret paths. The only two reliable methods I can describe are looking for 3 potted plants on planets; once you find the third one (they aren't necessarily all in the same system; you're kinda lucky if you find more than 1 in the same system) it will unlock a path. You can also look for signposts. If you know what you're looking for, they're surprisingly easy to spot if you happen to be close enough to one (and have good eyes...). Each of these secret paths can help you save a lot of fuel since you don't have to spend it weaving in and arround asteroid fields, and the planets are usually littered with little artifacts that give you small amounts of fuel (fruits, coins, etc., usually 1 fuel apiece, with 4 or 5 on a planet).

All in all, it boils down to roleplaying as Scrooge McDuck when it comes to fuel. Also, watch out for the last couple of levels... if you're not careful, they can be a little nasty.

The tricks mentioned in post above are the most important. I got to agree wholeheartedly with "last systems can be a little nasty". What helped me also was being less greedy and doing more risk assessment before deciding where to go and in which order.

Sometimes it is good to visit certain planets close to asteroid belts immediately after entering the system, before asteroids are thrown into a chaos and start ramming the planets.

Also, if high velocity planets are travelling in opposite direction compared to the asteroid fields, one may opt to wait before all asteroids have been blown to bits before landing on such a planet.

It took me a ton of tries to finally get Endeavor down but like the other two above said, it's ALL about energy conservation, risk assessment, some luck and skipping jumps to "bonus galaxies" when possible. The right ship is key too and there are a bunch to choose from so try them all out and figure out which one will carry you the farthest.

Which ship is the best though?

Just had a run ended by this very misadventure!

Landed, jumped out of my ship, walked a short distance, jumped over an obstacle, and a low flying asteroid promptly splattered me into the next dimension.

I was indeed being a greedy completionist; it was the final sector, and my Z-drive was already fully changed, I was just scouting for points & unlocks :(
