If you have less than 6 points of active weapons, you are probably going to have a rougher time of it. Barring an accident, you should have that no problem. Obviously a crew member with maxed weapons skill is really important. I think I just beat him with the Kestrel using a Blaster Mk II, Heavy Laser, Halberd Beam, and Small Bomb Launcher. But really any number of things can work. Or a small bomb launcher (underrated, it does 2 system damage). Now, ideally I would have something like Blaster mark III (5 shots, 1 damage each, 4 power), blaster mark 2 (3x1, 2 power) and maybe a heavy laser (2x2, 2 power). Once the shields are down feel free to fire at will. This will help overwhelm the shields helping you bring them down and damage them. Wait till you can fire all your weapons at once for the first barrage. Once you damage his shields enough that you can get to critical systems easily, you still need to periodically attack the shields because they'll get repaired.Īnother good trick I learned is do not fire your weapons as soon as it comes up. Since he's got excellent dodge and 4 shields, you've got to alpha strike every time you hit him (that is, fire everything or nearly everything). My preferred strategy is beam heavy, but I will use launchers depending on what I find along the way. You throw every single thing you have at him, try to overwhelm the shields, and then do damage. There's nothing fancy about how you attack. Racing to get systems back to health ASAP can really help. You'll need the usual party of Rogers and Hammerstien men to run around and punch intruders and also provide back up repairing. This takes 4 power to engines and having both the engine crew and pilot crew be maxed out in their skills (actually, that's about 37-39% I think?). I have beaten him 5 or 6 times now, all on easy.
