If you hadn't revived this thread when you posted this I wouldn't have spun this game up again and been reminded how frequently I get blown to bits - lolStarted playing this again last few weeks, done a few more on hard, I'm down to I think 8 ships left to do on hard.
My game last night, got the last boss down to 3 hull points on the third stage, this is with the stealth ship that starts with no shields or cloaking.
I had a breach missile that does 4 damage, shoot, miss, super weapon kills me, sooooooooooooo close.
I swore out loud.
Im scraping the barrel with the ships left though, it's getting so tough.
