Kyzrati plays stealth-hacker flight (Beta 8.1 thief run!)
Kyzrati:
Heh, yeah was almost too bad that's not going to happen this time--kinda screwed it up xD
This is okay, though, because my next run is going to be a bothacking run anyway, so that could be the final goal!
Kyzrati:
For the last part there, Zyalin arted up a great pic of the epic God Mode v. Fortress battle!
You can even see FFF intercepting a nuke there--that was quite annoying xD
And there we are watching from the sidelines.
Kyzrati:
Wow this run just kept piling on more and more epic. It's finally ended, my longest run ever, and I got a new win type I hadn't earned before! (video here)
SUPER MEGA SPOILERS AHEAD (yes, there is a level of spoilers beyond just spoilers and super spoilers!)
Picking up where we left off in Access, the main goal was to put together a build that could take on MC, so that meant basically swapping out all the hackware for offensive utilities, especially getting some melee analysis capabilities since we've got two of the best melee weapons.
We did manage to hack the Adv. Melee Analysis Suit schematic and fabricated a couple, and also found another two, though during this time had to also deal with a number of squads.
Most could be avoided easily, though the initial problem was that alert was still high from the previous map, so in addition to Exterminations an Assault was sent in.
Being not too far off from the Command Terminals, I headed over there and used them to recall the incoming squads and lower the alert. Aw yeah.

But it turns out there was not one, but two ARCs coming as part of the assault, though only one can be recalled at a time xD
So one of the ARCs did arrive, but I jumped and ran for it, losing everything with superior speed.
One of the suites happened to be back at the entrance to the map, so to get it I actually traveled back across the entire map to get it. Had to wait for fabrication on the others to complete anyway, any by then alert was Low Sec.
Entrance was in the NW, Command is off in the center east:

Slipping between a whole bunch of squads undetected:

Considering all the research branch gear, Command wasn't too much trouble, even without sensor support. We just flew around running from most stuff (wasn't a whole lot) looking for the seals to get some Assembled support. Both were eventually located. Picking apart a squad with Assembled friends (a Golem showed up a moment later):
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
For the Doom Corridor, we drew the CPs out and chopped them to pieces, also along with a group of Assembled (although they all got blasted before getting to see the glorious results), and after that corrupted the incoming M Guard with a few shots from the LES.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Finally got to use the thing after carrying it around for the entire run xD (the ultimate combo--LES and Core Membrane!)
Then before the Big Fight it came time to try rounding out the build with a few extras. We'd already picked up a replacement Adv. Phase Shifter after the previous one got blown off, but energy reserves were kinda low for running shields (although we did now have AEGIS from the M Guard).
The first M Guard definitely dropped its Exp. Energy Well, but that one was destroyed in a different location than the second (because the LES generally requires moving around to use it), and by the time we got back *gasp* it was gone!
So the hunt was on, murdering Recyclers left and right looking for The One. No luck, but we did have a hilarious surprise when we popped one and a Golem came out! It was actually just the GOLEM Unit, which immediately started building a new one, because apparently the Golem from earlier had been destroyed in fighting after we left it and a Recycler picked up the GU it dropped...
It had been long enough that it was likely the Well had been taken to a Recycling Unit (hopefully not recycled yet!!!). On finding the closest one and therefore its likely resting spot (right next to a Behemoth...) we hacked it but failed, having no hacking capabilities at this point.
In an epic turn of events, the Behemoth took a shot, missed, nailed the Recycling Unit right next to us, and out popped the Exp. Energy Well!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Time for the fight.
MC wasn't much of a problem for this build, and although I was originally planning to just get the + and bail for a win, considering everything was in good shape and we still had a pair of teleporters that would ensure a win even if we went to The Harder Place (and there was a bit of time left for the stream :P), I decided to visit Access_0. My first time ever there!
The aftermath of the MC fight is pretty low-danger so a bit more exploration ensued to get some spare power sources considering the VCR was getting kinda beat up.
Then we warped out to Access_0...
Being my first time there I made a number of strategic mistakes, but it's a resilient, safe build so no problem :P
It did, however, seem unlikely I'd manage to take out the Architect given the circumstances, so I decided to go for a different win I hadn't done before anyway, and headed over to grab the A2 code. Of course, having given the entire map a run-around I also had literally every architect on my tail. Here I'm hacking at A2 and letting A3 fire through me to also damage his buddy :P
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
With that code we zoomed off to the Singularity Gate and fired it up. This is the last thing we all saw...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Well not quite the last, because the singularity not only destroyed us, all our enemies, and the entire planet, but also crashed the game--THIS is the actual last thing we saw xD
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I checked it out after the stream and it turns out a change I made to the hacking architecture in Beta 8.1 worked fine everywhere else, but specifically crashed this win animation. Oops! Anyway, good to know, and now it's fixed for the next release. (Don't anyone try to get this same ending in Beta 8.1!)
After fixing the bug I reran the autosave (which was right before the end) and did the hack so I could get the scoresheet :)
