Overview
So you can’t beat the flagship you work hard but can’t kill him lets try and change that.
Pre-fight
Stuff you need (necessary):
–max shield
-layout b lanius
–zoltan shield bypass augmentation
-upgraded door systems
-upgraded engine system
-upgraded clone bay
-sensors (optional but really helpful)
Since the Lanius B has a teleporter and mind control you will want to take advantage of these two.
You will want to put your lanius crew members as a boarding party because of their abilty to suck Oxygen out of rooms.This is also a reason the reason why you want to leave ALL of your doors open EXCEPT for rooms where you need to put additional crew members obviously,this is to kill intruders since your lanius crew can handle no oxygen rooms combined with blast doors for a killer combo.Your main goal early game is to board enemy ships while having high shields to essentially just completely massacre other ships crews for max scrap (use lanius as boarding only). Remember to upgrade your clone bay to avoid losing guys during flagship fight.Use mind control effectively to minimize damage to your “Lanius Death Sqaud”.Finally and most importanly GET Zoltan Shield Bypass, i’ll explain in a sec.So by this point your ship is looking pretty decked out right,now its time to fight and stomp the rebels in the nuts by killing their “F A G – Ship”.
Fighting the Flagship
So their are three phases of the flagship which you hopefully already know.During the first phase hopefully if you have max shield and a good engine for dodging,you should take little damge at all. What you want to do is take out the isolated weapon people first,but leave the guy on lasers alive.The reason is that you do not want the flagship to go into auto-repair mode after all the crew is dead.If that happens your efforts will be crushed.From here you will take no damage because of your awesome shields.Now you can begin to wittle away their crew with mind control. Once thats done start tearing ♥♥♥♥ up with your “Lanius Death Squad” and weapons.Step one is done congrats if you made it this far.
Now for step two.This is by far the easy part.This part is drones.So simply put, put your guys on drones or missles.You basically just want to make sure drones don’t get to insane so shut that down quick maybe put one lanius on drones and one on missles either way it should be pretyy easy.This part really should come pretty easy if you did things right.
Well if you made it this far congrats, but the fight isn’t over yet now is the last stage.Remember how I said get zoltan shield bypass heres why.The last stage of the flagship has a ZOLTAN SHIELD.I know shocking isn’t it.I asked you to get zoltan shield bypass to bypass a zoltan shield crazy right?The reason this augment is so useful is because it allows you to teleport in your Lanius without having to take down the shield which will absolutely ♥♥♥♥ the flagship.Now just go to town break missles first then shields.Its also nice to know the flagship does have an artillery laser burst thing, but again if you upgraded your engines and shields like I said you should be fine.They also have mind control but so do you so just mind control your guys back problem solved.So hopefully if you did all this right you should have a pretty sweet victory.
