If it did have to be 'balanced' I quite like the idea of it just stopping shield re-generation, so you'd still have to knock through the 4 shields.Īnd, if you feel something is overpowered, you always have the option of not using it, or playing on Hard mode. I actually think hacking is 'weak' against hacking, engines, mind control and for most enemies weapons as well. Seasoned players know exactly the ship build, tactics, tricks and exploits to virtually guarantee a win be it defence drone + stealth, Boarding, or Hacking. It's incredibly powerful, no doubt, but to be honest I can't recall the last time I got to the flagship and didn't beat it - even on hard mode. Drone parts are also scarce, especially if hacking is your go-to choice for an enemy. It takes 3 power and upgrades to have that capability. You need the weapons to back it up, and when you are talking about 4 shield enemies it only removes shields for a short time, so you still have to know about volleyed fire. Is hacking really too strong, or am I wrong on this? Could there be a more balanced version of hacking the shields? Maybe deplete the shield energy slower, or just stop it's regeneration for the duration? Is the problem maybe not hacking, but that some weapons are too strong, after the shield is down? I'd love to hear your opinion on this. Once your hacking drone hits the shields the fight seems futile for the enemy. The same strategy also works for phase 3 after the supershield is down, hack the shields, fire to damage the hull and the rooms you want to see damaged. It does have a defensive measure against the hacking in phase 2, but this can be circumvented with a certain trick. You deploy the hacking drone, hack fire and the flagship is allready badly injured and you will have an easy fight. Now after doing many hard mode runs, it nearly feels like cheating.
FTL HELP OUR SHIELDS ARE DOWN FULL
Your beams will always be able to deal the full amount of damage, your lasers can directly hit your enemy. While a Zoltan in the Engine room will keep the engines contributing at least 5 evasion, + the skill levels of the Engineer & Pilot. You'd need 2 Zoltans hangin' in the Shield room to keep a single shield powered under attack from Ion Weapons. You now have a shieldless enemy on your mercy and can directly fire on the enemy with all your weapons. z' I'm not sure I agree with your Zoltan placement. If you have lvl 2 hacking you will be able to negate 3 shield bubbles of an enemy for a short time, higher levels will allow even more shields. Hacking costs one Drone part each time you use it. But now that AE is out there are many new ways to get through the shields. You used your weapons against the shield, and when it was taken down, you still needed to actually deal damage with other weapons.
FTL HELP OUR SHIELDS ARE DOWN HOW TO
Learning how to time your shots right, how to use the Ion damage right and timing the beams properly is basic knowledge the player needs to win in the game, and it's still a very important part. Before AE came out, getting damage through the shields of a strong enemy (such as the Flagship) was the most essential part when it came to defeating the enemy (boarding strats aside).
