Just started Hardspace: Shipbreaker after buying it in EA and forgetting about it until release and it's impressing me so far. They clearly paid a lot of attention to the intro and presentation which counts for a hell of a lot with me.

Are you playing m+kb or with a controller?

Looks like they simplified the Mackerel cockpits to come apart easier.

Yeah, and you should send the outside into the furnance because the glass is worth more than the nano carbon.

Yeah that glass is pretty easy. 4 cuts from the inside at moderate distance and the whole glass panel pops out as one piece. I think it's light enough that you don't even need to tether it. Just float out after it, grapple, spit, done.

About six hours into Shipbreaker now, and I can definitely see how you can get seriously into the weeds with this game. Just tried to depressurize a ship for the first time and I accidentally blew the entire thing to bits

They seemed to make the timer on those Atlas thrusters more generous. Now when the casings split it is much more of a crush hazard, though. Got me with that once so far.

Been a hot minute since I played so I have zero idea what those thrusters even are. Didn't exist last time I played. Did they ever make javelins not an impossible cluster gently caress even with det charges? Still not sure I'll ever take one, gently caress them things. Also I swear I remember tethers refreshing automatically at the start of every shift like O2. Did that change?

Yeah, those thrusters are new to me as well, but I can't remember the last time tethers refreshed.

Tethers stopped refreshing a while back, around the time they fixed thruster fuel consumption. The loving Atlas thrusters man. gently caress that poo poo.

Put a tether on the end of it so it starts moving out as soon as you cut the pipes, use the splitter beam to cut the pipe cut points fast, cancel the tether once the thruster starts moving (this part is optional), and then fling yourself into the nacelle and hit the flush lever. I can get it done before the fire has moved an appreciable distance.

I've never seen one and now I don't want to.

There’s also cryo canisters right by the cut points for the thruster caps. Crack one, swirl it around the thruster with your grapple and freeze the cut points. Worry eliminated. Found out the way to survive when you shutoff the valve and the casing cracks; just manually grab onto the wall.

I actually didn't have flasks in my item slots throughout my playthrough, I preferred to use the Y + Dpad combo to access them so I wouldn't have to switch through the slots

Maybe I'm living a charmed life (lol) but I just don't have an issue with Atlas thrusters the way you guys are describing them. I threw together a quick video showing what I'm doing, maybe it'll help? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-6tZzrRIEY

Nice video! That's pretty much how I went about it as well after reading this thread, though you probably did it twice as fast. As I discovered, you just have to be careful not to graze the quasar thruster with the splitsaw beam because then bad things will happen.

Yeah I never had a problem with the Atlas thrusters either. (A spaceship is like a musket in that there are many explosions.) Biggest problem i've been having is with depressurizing the external hulls. You'd think they'd either always start depressurized, or would allow me to depressurize the whole ship at once, but instead the hull door always self seals and only lets me depressurize the interior. I tried equalizing pressure, then deleting the interior door, but that just leaves the air handlers in an 'unavailable' state with both volumes now pressurized.

I don't even bother with a tether to yank the thing out, I just pull it out and then wander in. There's plenty of time if you don't mess it all up.

They seem to have fixed a lot of the "You depressurised so now the reactor is going to explode" and "the entire ship will now achieve escape velocity on to your face" stuff so I'm pretty frequently popping hulls like corks to save myself a few seconds moving panels around.

I take my sweet rear end time and I methodically rip everything off. Lights, handles, posters, I don't care how petty it seems, onto the barge it goes. The only explosive decompressions I get are little one room farts, however I haven't figured out how to get that center fuel tank out of the Javelin I think it is? That poo poo is a puzzle and a half and one wrong move and it's a good size bang.

I got the javelin fuel tank out by concentrating on the front half first and stripping it to absolutely nothing left. Completely gone. Once it's out of the way you can tether the cage around the fuel tank off to the front then in to the processor and work on the fuel tank itself.

Can't you just use the splitsaw beam to cut that surrounding girder superstructure into two large chunks and get it out of the way? I need more practice on Javelins, but that's what I realized I probably should have done after I spent an absurd amount of time coaxing out that giant fuel tank yesterday.

The superstructure around the fuel tank is higher level than the split saw. You can demo charge it if you want but eh, gotta scrap that front half anyway might as well do that and then work on the fuel tank instead of wasting time with demo charges. ....I also generally hate demo charges and don't tend to use them on anything at all except ion rings if another path is possible.

I've had no problem with the Javelin centers, but yeah you've gotta pretty much disassemble either the whole fore or aft sections first, then core it like an apple, just slide the entire ring around the tank forward or backwards off of it and toss it in the processor.

I usually do the entire aft end, then cut my way through the girders and use tethers to send the tank to the back wall. Or you know, it explodes.
