Hello! It is I, Z, back again to make the best character I can. The achievements for this game are either getting max in a stat or going the right path so this is also an achievement run not just an optimized path. I love making these guides not only to make an absolute monster but also for casual readers to not have to think too hard about their choices. Alright let’s begin.
- [Configure your ship]- the best stats are here
- This really isn’t too important for this guide as long as you put one point into tractor beams. the ideal ratio is 2, 1, 1. with 1 being into tractor beams. why? later we will boost our ship by 4,3 ,2,1. with this ratio everything will be 4 or max.
- keep hitting start character allocation over till you can’t- this will set all our character stats to 2. which is really good.
- Don’t pick an XO, go back. You can go back as far as you like but don’t ask Helm to do anything. this is important.
- gender choice
- any option
- choose your XO- with this guide you don’t have to worry about stats just choose who you like.
- either or
- A ship called Diamond Fang- this let’s us get a special durabilty stat as high as possible. we won’t really be getting hit, but it is optimized
- posses a veritable fleet of assault shuttles- +2 to tractor beams and is the best option of the stat boosters
- nothing substitutes for a good boarding action
- we will raise shields to battle-levels- minimum time for best commendation. thanks to our 2 luck
- good options Ensign- time reduction
- any option
- lieutenant, we will execute a yellow-band- if your engines are 2 you could go green. this option works no matter what
- say nothing or if you can’t perform your duties…- keep Helm nervous (for now) and pass
- bring us in close- this option works no matter what with our 3 special
- we will go to Binary next- 1 for the poor miners in need of rescue and 2 we don’t want our crew confident for this mission to get some bonuses. could go adelphus as well
- head in-system at maximum thrust- time reduction. could go for a disguise so Kasador doesn’t notice us but it doesn’t matter
- Respond to the hails- this is the path we must take
- any option
- we will rescue the survivors- this is how to get the perfect run
- we will send in shuttles- here lies a stat boost
- absolutely- guts boost
- any option
- I had better let the computer- only way we can pass
- Aft access- needed for the perfect run
- first 2 options
- any option
- very well- perfect run option
- pump crewman Lafferty- this is funny in a morbid way and makes Lafferty confident
- this will be a piece of cake- with our 3 guts we pass, also Matthews reaction is great
- (charisma bonus for Helm being nervous)
- I will now tackle nebula, it’s the next hardest.
- any option
- arm masers- when in doubt, shoot it. Gunny will be Confident
- try to disable- we have 2 int so we pass no matter what
- Helm? Postion the ship- now we want Helm to be confident and all our crew.
- Go for direct data removal- this is how we get Eisen to be confident
- try to disable the command pathways- best option. passes with 3 guts. Int increase
- any option
- any option (achievement for having 3 int)
- Time for Adelphus Prime
- Focus a com-laser- the colony takes too long to answer their phone so going direct is better
- any option
- it would be a pleasure to assist you- best option.charisma boost. achievement for max cha. achievement for all tasks.
- we know the source of the recent- idk why the other option is still there
- any option
- cycle the tractor beams- guts and tractor beams +1. achievement for max guts
- study the data for max int or assist the crew for eventual max luck. I like int slightly better
- any option
- any option
- helm, we will keep our course- no time added
- close the distance with them. when they want to talk- best option
- any option
- any option
- any option
- any option
- any option
- any option- I think that’s enough? the whole kassador conversation is any option basically
- no, on second thought- waiting fo the particle beams to die down
- i know it will be risky- charge!
- negative on any maser fire
- begin docking procedures- unless we had specific heavy weapons this section doesn’t do much so we go for an achievement instead
- no, this boarding action- all else is failure
- any option (another guts boost. we could play the story without customization to get all stats to 4 with these but it would be a lot more restrictive. let me know if you want to know that path)
- any option but commence covering fire (achievement)
- i’ll disarm the bomb
- i believe any option will do. with our stats we should be good
- because millions will die otherwise- time for big upgrade
- install the chambered star
- the boosts will be descending 4, 3, 2, 1. pick accordingly
- doesn’t matter? I go with a full and proper
- any option
- have everyone tell their story.do the toast last and for the toast say you want to hear the full story for an achievement (+1 luck)
- doesn’t matter
- those plasmic batteries have to go
- close to short range
- go for point blank. ready the assault shuttles
- any option
- head for the shuttle bay
- any option- we haven’t had any casualties so we should be good
- roll canisters
- first option- achieve kasador surrenders and 2 more achievements.
- Achieve Perfect score.
And there you have it. if you want to be a little stricter we can have all perfect stats but I notice that everyone likes more freedom so I decided not to have that. All but 2 achievements (1 achievement if you go the stricter route). the last achievement is to save earth but you can’t be perfect if you save earth. Enjoy the story, Z.
(edit: after trying it a bit, we will always be short 1 personal stat no matter what)
