What a childish tactic!
Don't you think you should put more thought into your battleplan?!


So is this game like Sid Meier's Space Pirates 2015?

Any suggestions for dealing with the little fighters? I'm still in the starter corvette and they're doing surprising amounts of damage. I tried the flak guns, but apparently they just fire to the sides without aiming. My turrets do a decent job I guess, but I'm starting to get hit with bunches at a time and it hurts.

Does anyone else get weird periods where no music plays?

The devs have said that while they're not against mods, they weren't going to go out of their way to make the game mod friendly.

So does charging your broadside only increase accuracy, or does it increase damage? I mean, when I pull in close, can I just rapid fire to do damage faster since the accuracy doesn't matter as much?

I really wish the flak turrets would target enemy missiles.

Now that I'm on the second system, hoe do you rank up in the guilds? Is it just a matter of building rep by doing the missions on that guild's station boards?

Mining Lasers seem like they'd make decent anti-fighter weapons, actually.

Just got a Struville finally, and it is pretty sweet, a nice improvement over the Icarus (which was also awesome and I highly recommend, even with the side turrets).

Currently got it fitted with neutron beam broadsides, a pair of mining lasers (one top, one bottom) set to anti-fighter, an Ion Gun set to capitals only, and a pair of pulse guns set to whatever. Tearing poo poo up with it.

With I could find this fancy viridian lasers people are mentioning. The only "Special" gun I've found was a Mk2 Korian(Murian? can't remember) bolt cannon.

You're only just now on the second system but you have a Destroyer?

Wait, do you really mean sector and not system?
