Whelp after finally getting all the issues sorted with screen resolutions and the rest I just spent a whole day playing this game instead of doing what I'm supposed to be doing and studying.
I am loving it.
Just had my first run in with Aliens. Thirty three 800 Ton Meson armed '
Obliterator' class gun ships which completely obliterated my two 7000 Ton '
Ned Kelly' class jump cruisers representing the entirety of my armed naval force without me being able to get a single shot back.
I am now frantically re-jigging all my sensors so they detect ships of such a small size whilst desperately finishing all the advances that were in the works for new near-Ultraviolet lasers and higher level capacitors before retooling my shipyards to build them 8 at a time.
I haven't had this much fun getting my arse handed to me in a long time
.
Meson Lasers apparently pass through armour I'm assuming then shields are the only way to stop them?
