A successful run with the Gunship. That makes one completed run for each of the ships.
Overall, I'd say the Gunship is well earned as "Hard mode", compared to the other ships. Maneuverability is simply too important in Everspace, limiting runs to a very specific setup to cover that weakness (You MUST have a front shield generator. You MUST have an an engine booster or engine overdrive. And frankly, some of the mods like the one that resets your armor every jump, at the cost of cutting it in half, are almost mandatory as well) I managed alright, managed to take out a Frigate and tons of Elite Corvettes.
It was a fun run, but not my last run. Ended up missing one DNA fragment, at an Ancient Structure, because I couldn't find the Clone and didn't want to risk spoiling my run dying to the Ancient Warden. I also assumed I jumped to the wrong location, not having found the clone anywhere.)
So, this should be the final run of the main campaign. I know I don't want to do Gunship again.. Scouts only really fun if you use the mod that lets you attack while cloaked, but that feels kind of like a cheat. So either Interceptor or Sentinel... Leaning towards Interceptor. Better selection of weapons, three weapon slots instead of one (Weapons that specialize do more dps, over an all 'rounder), and only one less device slot as a trade off.
Almost had it. Fell to a noob trap.
Had the Interceptor, no mod run. Was virtually unstoppable, until the true final boss.
A colonial warship. Same type that jumps in on a timer. It's set up like a puzzle game where you need to activate turrets surround the battlefield, the same way you activate everything else (Hacking). You do this while fending off an endless wave of fighters released intermittently.
Rather easy.
The big warship also has a super beam cannon on a timer, that is unavoidable, and that you need to take cover from. This is what got me. I thought I was keeping an eye on the timer, but evidently not close enough.
So now I'm defaulting to plan B, or as I like to call it "Screw you guys, I'm going home."
Scout, modded to allow attacks while cloaked, with infinite energy enhancement, with finger always on fully charged shock cannon. Plus time extender, Scouts natural speed, and other goodies.
Scout is easy mode in general, because it's so maneuverable, infinite energy and cloak ambush is overkill. Not that I need them to win, I just stopped caring about doing it right, and am now opting to do it fast to finish it.
I was playing an rpg last night and I was near the end of a tough fight and was winning and you can assign abilities, etc. to numbers 1-9 on the keyboard so I went to use a spell I had set to the 8 key. However, in my haste I accidentally hit the F8 key instead of the 8 key.
F8 reloads your latest save...
Elite Dangerous giveaway on Epic ends Thursday, fyi.
Neme, if you like getting ganked by invaders in Dark Souls, Elite has an "Open" mode where pirates and griefers ruin 12 hours of mining or exploration.
Me, I'll probably stick to Solo mode. 🙂 (Mainly because the fatal flaw of Elite's pvp system is mixing end game level gankers in with low/mid level grinders. At least Dark Souls tries to put in level limits for who gets to invade whome)
They have some really great sales for shmup lovers.
If you like "bullet hfil's" at all, Crimzon Clover is around two bucks, and said to be one of the best.
Raiden IV is also about 2-3 dollars at the moment.
I bought them both, plus a little Wonder Swan gem called Judgement Silver Sword.
Revolver360 is another one with a really good rep, for 2 dollars, but I don't know.. Three should be more then enough, considering the effort it takes to learn just one.
Crimzon Clover is the only must buy.
Raiden IV bores me to tears. The other two shooters I bought, I returned one and am waiting on the second refund (I haven't been denied yet, but am worried at the lack of response.)
Anyways, here it is:

2.49 is a steal for this game. It's like the best of Cave shooters rolled into one fantastic effort.
Switch has it too, btw.

Anyone played the Resident Evil 2 remake? Tempted to buy it as I loved that game and it's difficult to see how they could mess it up.
It's even better with mods:
Some good news, one of the games I've talked about a lot on here is free next week(Tyranny). Pillars of Eternity is also free:
Epic Games Store Makes Two Massive Obsidian RPGs Free Next Week
The trailer:
Looks right up my alley.
Wish there was a way to play the Dreamcast classic, without owning a Dreamcast and the overpriced game.
So if you're gaming on a laptop, do you prefer using it as a laptop, or plugging it into a tv and treating it like a console.
I normally do the latter, but some games aren't really designed for it (Looking at you, Dragon Age Origins)
And before someone asks, yes, I have a wireless keyboard, and I refuse to touch that thing (Don't ask)
