No, I wasn't blocked by the door, I was blocked by the passage being full of enemies!

Aha, as I understood it from your description, there was one open door full of enemies and another door with lvl 2 clearance you couldn't get through.
So I thought I'd point out that you could have actually used the other door.
Those gaurds and stuff at bases... they think they're all colonial marines, real tough hombres.
"Watch it!"
"Why are you so close?"
Is everyone in the 34th century so rude?

They are twitchier than a nightclub bouncer at 2am.
Nah, I was in the room with level 2 access, but there was only one door out, to the corridor full of enemies. That's all I meant

I guess combat is fine for them combaty types. For us explorers/hoarders...
...we need to be able to switch the point defence turrets on our ships to anti-personel mode.
When doing an on foot combat mission, do you have to switch between weapons to take their shields down first before hitting the NPC themselves?
I haven't really thought about combat before although I have a few G2/3 weapons stashed away.

Ideally. It's like with the ship - laser weapons against shields, kinetic weapons against hul... ehm... bodies.
Plasma weapons against both, but with a downside (like in ships) of really low projectile velocity and general clumsiness plus usually low ammo count.
For me, I am usually such a bad shootin' pray and spray gunner that by the time the shields for one target is down, the AR-50 clip is empty so I have to switch to the secondary weapon to finish the NPC.
I have a question, really need help. The systems I go to, do not have mission rewards that give Digital Designs. Anyone know of a system that is offering Digital Designs as missions rewards? Thanks.
Not if you use the plasma shotgun like I do. Just blast away.
Last week I was at the Al-Din Terminal in Breucosia system, and it had missions that offered them. Not every time, but I was able to get them there. Of course, I have no idea if it's still the case.
A melee firearm. Hmm.
I never use shotguns in any game, but considering how crap I am at hitting things in Odyssey, I should probably... well... consider it.
Somebody finally should do the science and find out which system states produce which mission rewards.
If that is indded a thing.
looks around desperately
You got a shotgun! Isnt a corridor sardined with enemies ideal?Nah, I was in the room with level 2 access, but there was only one door out, to the corridor full of enemies. That's all I meant
Well, yes, in a way they were sitting ducks. But they kept turning and firing back, y'know, and my Mav suit's shield would go right down so I had to duck back into safety. I won, in the end.
And speaking of, look what finally happened. My first Odyssey rank-up. LOL!
Yeah, I'm not usually a shotgun guy, but it's turning out to be very effective here. I don't bother as much with long-range. I just run about, keeping behind cover, until I can race up to one that isn't looking my way and blast them twice. Then I scoot off. 2 shots is usually enough if I'm right up close like that. I DO want the magazine size mod someday. 3 shots before reloading would be awesome, because then I could miss a shot and still take 'em down. Right now if I miss the second shot I have to scoot off anyway, and try again. Standing in one place is bad.
In the CZs the shotgun worked really well because the NPCs were generally distracted by my teammates and I could just run up from the side and blast. But I also used the sniper rifle from the roofs for picking off targets. Even if I only got 1 hit, and it took the shields only, my teammates would usually then kill the target for me. Note that I only did Low CZs. I'm sure the higher-level enemies are more difficult to kill.
It's all very amusing.
I hear it is. There's one guy (Hawkes) who's claiming to have spent over 300 hours already figuring this stuff out, so he can write the ultimate guide. 300 hours!
I don't mind having some ideas about states and whatnot, but I'm not interested in the fast farming techniques that require logoff/login or ridiculously repetitive gameplay. That bores me, and I won't do it. I'd rather take longer and have fun in the process.
I mean, what's that guy gonna do now? He's maxxed out all his suits and weapons and that leads to...nothing new. Ah well, that's how he wants to play. It's ok with me as long as he's happy with it, I guess.
i have the plasma purdey and the l6!. an all the suits ready for fodder. usally me has i keep forget to check the shield level all on lv 1.
just completed two power restore missions but no npc Around? have they took out the fodder!
