Redemption of the Vortex, or how I discovered flame weapons

Postby rannl » Tue Jan 01, 2013 10:07 pm

At first 'i thought the Vortex was a piece of rusted engie junk, but after a rocky begining, I got my hands on a few more engies and a rockman, and also the fire beam and fire bomb.

Now, I never thought I'd have much use for flamers, but after ionizing the enemy shields with the heavy ion, I discovered how easy it was to capture an enemy ship without ever boarding it :)

Well, a picture is worth a thousand words :

Felt sorry for that mantis.....

As for the rebel flagship - took it out without getting hit !

Vortex, you won a warm spot in my heart, as well as fire weapons :)

Keep on FTLing !
