Well, I haven't been able to stream due to being sick and/or out of town, so this week I played the seed on my own. Damn Alpha 13 is a lot of fun--wish I could've shared all my thoughts at the time on Twitch! Anyway, I did do some screenshots...
Materials was uneventful, though the Mines I went through had quite a lot going on. No problem there, just enjoying the different encounters (one of which left me with a nice Beamcaster which was great to have so early, especially in combination with my 4-weapon start).
The action started at -7, where I decided to head into a Factory garrison because magi163 seems to be having so much fun there.
Of course I triggered an alarm as soon as I entered, then shortly after stepped on a bomb while fighting off enemies from my cover, completely obliterating my cover xD
I made a pretty big mess, but only cleared about half of it before making it out from the first exit! It was a fun little side trip that helped lower resistance back on the main floor, which was noticeably helpful, so worth it overall.
Back in -7/Factory my favorite part was where I was minding my own business amidst a giant array of reactors and my Gauss Cannon decided to misfire...
From -6 I made sure to enter the caves, because that's where a log in the Mines told me where Zion would be. I brought a couple of drones with me to scout ahead, and the first dutifully mapped out half of the first cave before having its sole hover unit ripped off by a thief
. I felt a lot less safe in the second cave area without my scouts... Scrap was definitely helpful, though! Picked up a Hvy. Rocket Launcher in one, and another gave me both an Adv. Sensor Array and Enh. Optical Array, so I attached both and snuck my way into Zion
On my way out of Zion of course my friends and I run into a Behemoth, but the sensors saved the day there since I was able to find a way to tunnel around it.
I had quite a lot of random useful stuff in my inventory, that's for sure. (This was just before I was about to extract that Proton Bomb Trap for... my own uses
)
This is where my lone friend walked right up to an Assassin and outright melted the thing <3 (Oh, and my legs were shabby and I didn't have any replacements, so that giant pile of shiny treads looked mighty nice. I was walking overweight most of the time, anyway--TANK OF DEATH TIME!)
By Research I was stealthy treading death. By the time they spotted me, they were staring down the barrels of several cannons.
And as if I couldn't get stealthier, I lost my jammer but gained a Triangulator. Got to use all the new toys this run
My main problem was staying cool because I didn't have enough slots for it, so longer fights didn't go so well and I decided to drop the interpreter for another heat sink. I also discovered that it's very satisfying to watch that TRACKING number go down as I take out pursuers, too.
I hung out on -3 so long that things started to get weird and I was datajacking... Figured I may as well put to use fthe hackware I'd been carrying around. Combined with a couple of EM weapons, I was basically able to reboot and destroy everything that came into sight.
Got some assaults called down on me and here was where I was thinking I've been hanging around at this depth for a little to long! (Couldn't help it, was too much fun running around causing chaos--wasn't even searching for an exit
)
Took all that down, then I met two patrols and had programmers and another assault called before long. Reeeeeally looking for the exit now... (they really ripped me up)
Then I did... this... yeah... (very not like me!)
Aw yeah, home free
(home as in, more Research...)
What to do next was a tough decision, since I should probably upgrade propulsion if I want to keep flying, but I was also having power problems. I've done that many legs before, so I went with +1 propulsion and +1 utility. So I'm heading into -2 as a flier, but it's really unfortunate I had to ditch my hackware to attach spare armor to survive the later onslaughts, so I'm a hackless flier xD
Okay, so flight lasted about 3 minutes into -3, because I summoned some friends who cleared out a Sentry guarding a cache of pretty legs. Basically, we're back in the business of blowing stuff up. "You guys guard the door while I gear up here..."
And our first bit of company! About face, legged squad of death--time to destroy some Unaware. (I didn't get off a single shot, as they killed everything that popped out before it could even open fire.)
I lost all my friends just down the corridor to multiple patrols come by at once, just down the corridor, but was very grateful for their help!
As expected it was a terrible idea to continue traveling along the route with all the patrols, as that plus the assaults kept pounding on me and I ended up having to run for it after losing all my... everything xD. BUT! I entered this room with full matter and it looked like maybe I could make a last stand and potentially rebuild? (Definitely not from what won't be left of my pursuers, though...)
You guys followed the WRONG bot!
The main thing I was worried about was the Archangel, which could intercept the bombs, but it only got one of them, so two volleys, six bombs later and everything inside and outside the room was toast
I did manage to rebuild a bit before attracting too much attention (yes, in the same area...) and also getting more programmers dispatched, but I also found some new sources of AOE destruction
. Decided it would be more fun to fight the losing battle than try to hightail it again.
Oh well, I know I could've played better but it was a fun run, in any case. That and as you can see the build I used was all over the place! And I beat my previous score by like... 30 points
