Support NeoGAF

[woo and indeed hoo]

Try to explore as much as you can in Sector 1. The fights should be easier at the beginning of the game, so the more you explore, the more scrap you can potentially earn. Getting the Long Range Scanner early can help you to avoid solar flares and other environmental dangers. If you happen upon a Scrap Recovery Arm in a shop, buy it! It will increase the scrap you receive from battles and random events. By the end of Sector 1, it will be good to have leveled up your engines to where you have 20-25% dodge, and shield level 2 if you were lucky with scraps. Sector 2 is doable with shield level 1, but by Sector 3, enemies will be more powerful and have increased shielding.

Also, since you're playing on Easy, you should have enough scrap to upgrade your doors to Blast Doors (20 scrap). This allows you to trap enemy boarders in a room, since they have to take time to open the door. If you remove the oxygen from the room by opening the doors to vacuum, you can suffocate the enemy and kill/weaken them before they can get to your crew.

If you're using the Kestrel (default ship), it comes equipped with a Burst Laser Mk II (one of the best balanced weapons in the game, considering firepower, energy requirements, and recharge time) . Use this to target the enemy's weapons. The Burst Laser Mk II can pass through 1 shield and damage the weapon systems so the enemy ship will be unable to attack. Then target the cockpit or engines to ensure the enemy doesn't escape. I usually start a battle by attacking weapons and cockpit, then moving on to life support and other systems (enemy crew will prioritize repairing the life support systems over all others). Hope this helps.

Bookmarked for future reference; thanks .

Nice pic. Really feels like family here. With nice cousins, likeable aunts but also some creepy uncles. Perfect!

Now, now, don't say that and come and sit on my knee.

What'd I miss?

LOTS of Modbot action including an awesome giveaway for post #2500.

The_Monk being adorably awesome. Yes, I know, so what's new?

Awesome

Well written and I totally agree. I've been a part of a lot of forums but NeoGaf has been the most helpful, most personable and friendly, funniest, most generous community I've joined. I'm happy to be a GAFfer

Hear, hear [in respect of pc GAF].

A wise man once told me that if we collect all the Rocks we found on the ground we could, one day, build a Castle with all of them.

Sometimes I think that we, as a Community can become much more powerful when united. I believe that we have the best members on any Website or Message Board ever known simply because no matter how different we are, we share the same love for Games.

That is what makes me proud. All of you, fellow GAFfers.

There is a total of 335 fellow GAFfers in this picture that posted in this thread. There's more but after so many hours collecting these Avatars I might have missed some. I'm very sorry for that but the reason why I did this is:

We are one, we love Games, Steam, Backlogs, threads, hype trains, gifs, and so much more but all of this is unique because, when everything fails, we do not.

In it. Voted 5.

Since I have taken a few and only gave one back I figure it is time for another giveaway. So here it is the game in demand FTL. Enjoy.

Thanks son. I will try and give back when I can. <3

Guys, all Cogs wants is a comfy, warm Steam games library it can call home. All his friends are gone and well, he's feeling lonely. He doesn't even ask to be installed, because well, he knows how busy you all are with your fancy AAA games and he doesn't even have cards to offer.

:'(

I would give Cogs a home but I already have one. And the tyrannical steam won't allow me to take in another.

Is there any Simcity type game anyone could recommend? I don't want SC5 because of the always online, and SC4 has issues with W8. Itching to get a sim builder of some kind. I already have City Life and it sucks.

Borderlands 2 still too expensive for my blood. Got the first for $5 on a previous Steam sale. I'll wait until the winter sale to see if it drops to that level.

 

[Seanspeed]

What's everyone voting for? I have all three, but Incredipede is a very beautiful game, so I voted for it. And for 1,40€ where Im living it's a steal.

Antichamber.

The only puzzle games I like are the ones that are unique and do a good job of taking you out of your comfort zone. This definitely seems to check those boxes.

I bought it already unfortunately, but eh, oh well. As long as the game is good I'm not complaining!
