RPC's Mega Permadeath challenge

RPC · Mon Dec 05, 2011 1:52 am

I can safely say that I've died around 20ish times, and the max lifetime for a playthrough is 29 minutes. I'm having a hard time playing a permadeath, so I need the help of the veteran players out there

If you can complete a permadeath with these mods, congrats, and I'd like to know: how'd you survive?
(and for a super challenge, I suggest playing with FAD's mod)
Note: NewSounds is not compatible with WE4
Yes I know I have lots of mods, but they also provide a greater universe to explore than Vanilla

Heh. That looks hard. It's kind of funny that you have both fellow pilgrims and no powers installed. It completely takes away your advantage and gives it to someone else

Hmmm... let's just say that it's one of life's idiosyncrasies XD
Well, both of them do increase the difficulty of the game

(perhaps too much though XD. If only PM didn't make No Powers, I'd be past St. Kat's by now >.> )

RPC · Mon Dec 05, 2011 3:55 am

Ok, I should probably rename this to RPC's failure thread :/
I tried to do another perma, and voila! Five minutes later and into the second system, this happens:

: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!.png (102.24 KiB) Viewed 11730 times

I don't have any credits, and now I can't get loot either :/

Mon Dec 05, 2011 4:16 am

yay, my mods are being played

Mon Dec 05, 2011 8:42 am

Ahahahahaha. You've set an impossible challenge for people until I release the gaian section of SUO as a teaser.

(Incidentally, the version of the Gaians that RPC is playing with ( I think) is my customised ones. And they *will* one-shot you if you turn up with crap armor. Not that will worry RPC, because he's dying long before then.)

RPC · Mon Dec 05, 2011 10:15 pm

Yeah, it's your test Gaian, Shrike

RPC · Tue Dec 06, 2011 10:17 pm

Ok, added sdw's scout auton and Shrike's untested SUO to the mix

Here's the ending of another tried perma:

: LightCarrier + homing laser.png (32.29 KiB) Viewed 11688 times

The light carrier+homing laser setup seems to be working well. Since I have fighters that do most of the fighting for me (and thus I don't have to risk myself >.> ), and loooots of cargospace (400?!) I just might survive next perma:D

RPC · Tue Dec 06, 2011 10:21 pm

I just check WE4 and realized that all this time I've been playing normal mode :/
Changing to Hard mode and Periculi's random weapons mode

SERIOUSLY? SERIOUSLY?!?!!
Sorry for the rant there, it's just that being killed by a Centauri raider is not cool >:(.

shanejfilomena · Wed Dec 07, 2011 1:05 am

i had to Nerf because of this same Fate ( I did not want a player to get killed that way ) : it seems we often forget how weak a regular ship can actual be because we often fly Mod ships.

and yes.....most of us forget how strong even the first system level weapons really are.

Wed Dec 07, 2011 4:46 am

That's the SUO *Teaser*.

Adding the version on my computer would be hilarious, but even briefer.

Worst Case Scenario by FAD

I was just trying it: being as I am behind a commerce related adventure....commerce was my key to survival

I shut down all systems and conserved power, the starting credits allowed me to buy and sell : but I confess, I had to jump the gate to get wrecks and then jump back to known stations where I could sell until i could get a working weapon : the shield was not important, if the Centauri can run around without them so can we

with a weapon and a stand-off style i did pretty good: i got 4 systems covered with a class I deflector and an autoSentinel to cover my back as i gained credits for proper armor . at last save i was up to 5K credits, destroyed 6 stations and about a dozen ships from Centauri and charon pirates

so the worst case scenario is not as bad as it looks....it needs to find a harder item: like no credits. and that ROM in hold was the first thing i dropped : i don't allow illegals on my ship unless i have the smuggler's hold.

RPC · Thu Dec 08, 2011 11:39 pm

FAD, your carrier is awesome! This is the longest I survived on this playthrough

Just one question though, why doesn't the carrier automatically start with the drone bay? It was really the only pull I had toward the ship- it has fighters to compensate for the 20 facings and slow turn rate.
