Really nice game, just feels like there needs to be a way to not start at level 1 every time (like dieing pushes you back a set number of levels or using check point)
FYI: thermonuclear reaction is fusion... and for that matter thermonuclear fusion and cold fusion are both nuclear reactions... perhaps a more appropriate naming convention would be nuclear fission> thermonuclear fusion > cold fusion?
Good end boss strategy: get past the boss to his throne and fight with your back to the wall. Use your power attack when flying things start to mob you. I won with Greatsword, and the knock-back was really good at keeping giants and the boss from getting too close, haven't tried this strategy with knives or staff yet.
A lot of people comment about the difficulty being too easy, but I find that it is only true during mid-game. At mid-game you can min-max your fleet to a devastating advantage using only 1-2 maxed out classes of ship, but the very beginning and end of the game are an appropriate challenge. I feel this balance issue could be addressed if there were either a paper-rock-scissor element to your ship classes or if the upgrades followed a single tech-tree with more emphasis on general upgrades.
One of the easiest Hard badges I've done in a while. Once you're all maxed out which you pretty much have to do to win the game anyway, you just drop your hull down to the tiny level-1 design and fly like there's no such thing as power-ups. You should have enough fuel to make 250k w/o picking anything up, so just play it slow and safe and its not that difficult.
You've got to give this game maker some serious credit for his use of obscure sci-fi references. That said, I think he introduces some of his super structures such as shkadov thrusters way too early, but maybe that's just me being picky.
Is there supposed to be a way to control your ship after you leave a low orbit? I've been able to crash into a few other planets, but I can't figure out how exploring them works w/o any control of your ship.
You need press E to "deploy" your solar battaries and radio system.
It works for 2 ships with big round antenna and not works for first vechicle and telescope (they has no big antenna)
Why? You can have as many different items in your inventory as you like.
