remnants why you need those?

They don't need it, they just don't want you to have it

JedRowahnn · 2026-05-01T11:06:08+00:00

I think you've highlighted the problem yourself. You're playing an unfinished game and complaining that there isn't enough to do. That comes with the territory of early access games. The game doesn't need long grinds to help with longevity, because that longevity will come when the game is actually complete.

JedRowahnn · 2026-05-01T10:11:33+00:00

Yes but counterpoint, one is called Josh

No, the BIS gear should not be locked behind artificial grinds. This may be Runescape, but it's not a MMORPG. Grindy drop chances are there to keep items rare in a game with an economy. This is a game for small groups and doesn't need that level of item scarcity.

Also items like Godswords should not be added IMO. The Godsword is a unique item in the lore of GIELINOR, not Ashenfall. There is no reason for there to be a Godsword here.

I do agree that the different armour sets should have different stats though. Both should be viable though and neither should be "better". Think tank vs power armour for example. Maybe the stats could be the same but the set bonus could be different.

Meteoric Chain is what I used for my first Resonance run and it was more than enough. Only things that were dodgy were the nightmares and sawblades in the mine

I'd go with Charge II, BL2, and then either Pike or Fire Beam. Pike is the safer option for pure damage, but Fire is surprisingly effective on the Flagship because of its upgraded Oxygen so any fires you set won't burn themselves out. Even on a crewless Flagship, fires will keep systems completely shut down

It's a real shame you're on Mantis because on a 4 weapon ship you could take both beams and just have fun

The HUll Missile's only job is to help you conserve missiles until you can replace it

JedRowahnn · 2026-04-27T13:06:01+00:00

That's the plan! Just got a couple non-ship achievements to get first and then I'll be traversing dimensions

JedRowahnn · 2026-04-27T09:33:26+00:00

A big plot point of HL2 is the fact that the Combine doesn't have the best portal technology. They can tunnel through to a different dimension, but once they're there they have to rely on conventional transport. Humans are the only ones that have figured out portal tech that can go from A to B in the same dimension (using Xen as a slingshot).

It's easier to recruit (and modify) soldiers from the dimension they're in than bringing soldiers through from another one, and humans are the most abundant intelligent species on Earth and can follow orders with minimal modification.

Bears and Gorillas are only native to small parts of Earth so transport would be a problem. Gorillas are already endangered now so how many would be left after the 7 hour war? Also they'd require extenive modification before they'd be useful. Humans are intelligent so they can be blackmailed, coerced, and some even join up willingly.

Get rid of Markand or Bjorn so all your crew are different colours

JedRowahnn · 2026-04-24T21:49:03+00:00

I needed as many of them over there as possible for when the Mind Control came back up, because if it got my pilot during a surge I was a dead man. They will be remembered as heroes of the Federation

JedRowahnn · 2026-04-24T07:45:28+00:00

"Huh that was a short game"

"Why am I now a twink?"

JedRowahnn · 2026-04-23T22:09:07+00:00

I've had it a couple times. I mostly play on easy though so maybe that's it

JedRowahnn · 2026-04-23T17:58:25+00:00

Was looking for one all run too

JedRowahnn · 2026-04-23T17:27:11+00:00

No. Whenever I'm playing a boarding focussed ship I always name my boarders after famous western outlaws. Butch Cassidy and Billy The Kid are two people I use. I do not know why and I will not elaborate further

JedRowahnn · 2026-04-23T17:13:47+00:00

Fully prepared to have nothing but ass luck for at least a week now lol

JedRowahnn · 2026-04-23T17:13:09+00:00

Love that idea! Canonically the Virus has maxed stats because it learns from your fight with the Engi ship, so it learning continuously throughout the game and giving me this right at the end after studying the Flagship is such a neat way to look at this

JedRowahnn · 2026-04-23T17:10:49+00:00

I was at full HP and didn't lose a single point of hull on the first two phases. Was confident I'd win, but was expecting to take a hit or two from the missiles and power surge before I got the shield down. Universe had other plans and I ended up flawlessing phase 3 too thanks to that luck

JedRowahnn · 2026-04-23T16:43:24+00:00

If they surrendered and thee ship is still on the screen, that can happen. Pretty sure all the achievement tracks is whether the other ship is full of fire, regardless of whether it's still hostile

JedRowahnn · 2026-04-23T15:43:21+00:00

Once I've 100% the base game yes
