    It really was. Going up against Sylvan with a level 1 medbay and no medbots, it was entirely likely he'd be overwhelmed just by the boarders. If he had to deal with the full complement of drones on top of everything else, I don't know if he would have made it.

    The Rift Waker fires faster than the game can actually handle, so it gradually queues up shots that haven't fired yet, and when you change targets, all the queued up shots have to fire first, so it takes a while to change (and that's also why it keeps firing once the enemy is destroyed)

    It actually makes me think of any way to reduce or remove this limit. As we can notice, there's a Defence III drone that shoots way faster then The Rift Waker, can this firerate be applied to weapons?

    15:53 oh he does. And he can get overtaken literally before you make a single jump if you're really unlucky. Or he can place himself infront of the flagship and get deleted by that. Also the deal with the Rift Waker is that it's animation time is longer than its charge time after it's wound up. Not sure on the exact timings, but imagine it issuing a fire command 10 times a second, but the animation can only fire 5 a second. If you leave it running for 5 seconds, it's already queued up another 25 shots. And it will keep firing after no longer having a target until all those are shot. It does also keep firing, and it can totally kill enemy ships, while they're cloaked. It's a very fun weapon to play around with. Also well done, that was a good fight. Defense Drone 3 is really, really good against the triple boarding drones he sends your way.

    I didn't think Sector 7 was going to give you the things you needed, but you really lucked out there. But, yeah, you actually fucking did it, I'm definitely impressed. The hack went into the doors, so that's really...somewhat good...at least as long as you got rid of the first wave of boarders, the door hack does become pointless (Obviously Sylvan will hack at least something, it's a good thing it wasn't in a important system). Obviously the Defense 3 was the major player in beating Sylvan since I already knew it'll shoot down every boarding drone, despite being 3 at a time...though it being shot down once was super surprising, what are the chances...? But yeah the fact that you didn't unlock Sylvan C due to a glitch with the patch is the worst... Other than forcibly unlocking through commands, you would have to do it again...

    I have to ask, have you ever tried your hand at doing a run where you do no combat pausing at all as a challenge? There was a KZreadr I used to watch years and years ago who did those runs exclusively, I don't recall if he ever managed to beat flagship, but he did get to it on several occasions, I believe he did it on Hard, but if you did try it out what difficulty you did wouldn't really matter in my opinion, I just feel it would be neat to see given how much most players over-rely on combat pausing.
