Behemoth

I might get rid of the behemoth, it almost ruins the game. It can beat the alien mother ship level all by itself lol.

Does the player use their own fleet in the last sector at the alien homeworld???

[anders]

No you get your standard attack fleet. 2 crius a hydra a Aegeon 4 weldmasters, a nuke centaur and 2 normal Cerberus's and 1 laser Cerberus. (100% fsp)

It's easiest if you can get all the beasts in one big group than send a weldmasters way far away and assign the crius's and nuke ship as wingmen so they'll fire and then return to following it so you don't have to micromanage. Then once the beasts are far enough you can harvest all the res or try to take the beasts out

Can you post a picture of these beasts. I have anout 15 sectors now.

First thing I did with my behemoth was send it up against the alien mother ship....took it out in under a minute.

Space borders,

Remember in the old survival picture how there was this really big purple alien ship? Can you put that into survival so we have something that can challenge the behemoth

Thats one beast. Blimey its got some guns. What health does it have and is an aegeon a match for one beast?

[Clinkzbone]

Actually that's 4 Beasts, they're overlapping.

I believe they have a million health.

And no, an Aegaeon will get obliterated in a 1-on-1 fight.

[joe130794]

Oh damn. Do the beasts get bigger then because in the photo theres four bigger outlines around them.

[anders]

An aegeon can take a single beast down to about 80% health in a battle. Even the behemoth probably wouldn't be able to take one on in a one on one

[joe130794]

We need a skirmish/sandbox/custom mode next so we can test that.

[starjoker]

Now that would be awesome, maybe you could control alien ships or give them traits, like offensive, defensive, patrol, etc.

[Space Borders]

Yep, the Beast ship is pretty powerful alright. The Aegaeon would at best be able to buy you some time.

I remember the purple ship from survival mode. It used to be the battlecruiser in older versions of the game. The problem is that someone who did't get CM would probably not be able to afford a Behemoth and would therefore face serious problems during survival mode. Should there be a sandbox mode at some point, it would of course allow adding any kind of ship, including the Beast. We'll just have to wait and see.

Maybe off topic, but today I was going over some of the reviews and am really glad about all of the positive feedback. Thank you all for that. One of the reviews however was just hilarious. It basically stated that the game would be worth five stars, but since the Behemoth is overpriced, it's not worth 5 stars, instead s/he gave it 2 stars. OK, I can live with someone not liking the game and giving it 2 stars, it's not like everyone is into the genre or the gameplay, but when someone rates the game 2 stars (rather than 5) because the last, unessential ship is too expensive, then this is just a joke!
