Damn those boarding pods are an absolute pest.

Made another episode! I know im not very good in this one lol.

Just found an exploit that allows free repairs

What you need:

- Drone Control
- Drone Recovery Arm
- Repair Drone
- 1 drone part (so you can deploy the Repair Drone)

The repair drone is supposed to be destroyed once it's applied 3-5 repair actions.
However....

1) Deploy the Repair Drone.
2) let it perform 2 repair actions
3) Jump away.

The partially used repair drone will be collected by the Drone Recovery Arm and you'll have your drone part credited back to you.

repairing 2 for one fuel....

not sure how useful that would be...

I'm not suggesting you purposefully waste jumps just to repair, you simply repair 2 hull every jump as you progress through the systems.

The only legitimate drawback is that you are forced to have the Repair Drone equipped in any fight that immediately follows the jump.

2 hull is nominally worth 4 scrap.
A typical game has ~120 jumps in it.
That's up to 480 scrap saved in repair costs! Obviously it'll be much less than this in your typical game, but it's still a significant saving.
In my current game for example, I've played through to sector 7 without needing any station repairs!

That's nice, but I only found a repair drone for sell once so far. Once in many (attempted) play-troughs. There is nothing you can do about traders display, is there?

I actually get them rather frequently from mercenaries. I always fight them instead of hiring or leaving.

Me too.
In the game that I discovered the exploit I obtained 2 Repair Drones from events, and saw one in a shop.

I also completed and set a new personal best; 4777 (in this Osprey)
It was ridiculously easy; by the end I was just buying upgrades for the hell of it. (hence the lvl4 artillery beam, and lvl3 doors, lvl3 teleporter and ridiculously high evasion)

1st phase of the boss I lost 2 hit points.
2nd phase, 0 hit points.
3rd phase, 10 hit points. (The Osprey's inability to fit a cloak really hurts here)

The weapon pre-igniter coupled with lots of multi-shot lasers is definitely the way to go.

I had the flagship down to 1 health, and my video card drivers crashed....

D:  I'm sorry, Bro.

[Hardlyjoking67]

This is by no means an easy game.

[BillyRueben]

Finally beat the game with the stealth ship. It took more than a couple of attempts. Nothing quite like killing the boss with one of the worst weapons in the game. I love this game.

Spoiler

[icepick37]

Ah the stealth. Actually the basic laser is the worst.  :p  The mini beam ain't that bad.

I got to the boss, but he took me out.  :/  This was on easy though. Have yet to get very far on normal in that beautiful machine.

wiki says: It is actually possible to get a crew member named Notch. This is because Notch donated to the kickstarter page.
i already got him but he didn't ended very well ;p
