vix Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 (edited) i used the thor last night on my first play through and i'm about to try the mexxus II to see how that works out and if there's any difference. any ideas on what the third ship is? and how you might unlock it? (man that little card on the left here is so out of date) Edited May 27, 2010 by vix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteAlexander Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I used to use the Mexxus 2 almost all the time, I love the Magma cannon. Now I'm using Ship 3. Ship 3 is [spoiler=ship3]Final Prototype: Soldner-X, basically the ship from the first game. The weapons seem identical too. To get it, you have to beat the challenge "Assassin" (beat stage 4 in under 7 minutes and 45 seconds). I unlocked it after getting to pilot level 7, which was around 16,000 kills. I don't know if you need to beat other stages or challenges aswell, but I had beaten stage 7 and completed 4 other challenges by the time I unlocked it.

RageousX Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Mexxus II with Magma is ridiculously overpowered... it may be directional, but properly powered up, it'll obliterate anything that passes by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteAlexander Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Once you've got Ship 3, use the Bow laser when it's fully powered up (or close to it, anyway). Point-blank, it's unbelievably overpowered. It's painful to aim at range, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vix Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 not exactly sure what that has to do with this thread but ok... --- is the third ship the best? (for those of you that have it already) seems like out of the two, the mexxus is definitely the better one, at least for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteAlexander Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 It's probably personal preference, but the third ship is by far my favourite. The Beam laser is great for most things and the Flame pick-up kills larger targets (including bosses) ridiculously fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vix Posted May 29, 2010 Author Share Posted May 29, 2010 i don't have the third one yet. doh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's painful to aim at range, though. And that last bit is precisely why Bow Knowledge is such a royal pain in the ass. Some of my boss battles were 7-10 minutes long. In swarms though, it's unmatched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In swarms though, it's unmatched. Absolutely. It's great in certain situations (as are most of the weapons), but the stage 5 boss with the Bow laser? Ugh, never again.

sui99 Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 how do you unlock the third ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RageousX Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 You have to complete Stage 7, which unlocks the 'Assassin' challenge. Completing that will unlock the third ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteAlexander Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Beating stage 7? I unlocked the challenge after getting to pilot level 7, I don't recall having enough keys to have stage 7 unlocked at that point. But either way, it shouldn't take long to unlock it.
