How long did what live?

Heh, I died pretty soon after - around four to five seconds, I'd say.

That was also my first encounter with a Phobos and Deimos.

If you mean top-*left* then yes I already knew what that was just not by name. I agree three of them would be easier than a phobos. I might not know though, since I had lamplighter at the time

Well, they have of those really fast-firing dual (:() lightning cannons, and they take forever to kill without a lamplighter.

But that is an awesome screenshot, no?

The +150% IM90 Multitarget Blaster is your death-spouting Ion weapon friend.

It can take down pretty much anything, including Luminous with an ion shield. It'll even damage the iocrym, albeit slowly.

I have to dodge a lot when I fight Deimos or Phobos ships, though. Lots of fun, that.

I don't think I have radioactive particles reduced to their most basic form by an alien commandship in my toilet...

Or do I?

The IM 90 is the best weapon this side of the Lamplighter. It'll destroy a Ranx D quicker than any other known (unmodded) weapon available to the player.

I'll grab the first one I see and keep it until the Lamplighter is available, then switch to that. The Lamplighter is the perfect weapon in that it kills ANYTHING in the game, makes a great base cracker and quickly removes space debris. Actually, once I get one installed, I'll remove any other weapon to free up a slot for whatever device I may want or need.

I found the plasma cannon works really well against the iocrym too. That's if you can't get the lamplighter (which I almost never do..)

That's the Deimos-class Destroyer.

Ah, the screenshots gone.

The only time I ever encountered a phobos I had ion reflect on my shields... Can't remember what weapon I had, maybe the luminous ion one, must've took me 5 minutes hacking away at it's side, trying to avoid the main weapon.... I've never even done the lamplighter mission, too bothersome to get to such a rank with the commonwealth when ion weapons are just as good in my opinion :\

Though I haven't played Transcendence in a while...

Somehow the Sung always seem to know when a Dwarg Master has managed to disable me. Hey, at least it takes a double-team to bring me down.

I've learned to respect that long-range disabling Dwarg gun, but early-game shields go down after just a few hits. I can usually manage to escape the slow-moving Dwarg fighters, but the Sung seem to always swoop in for the kill the second my ship gets disabled.
