Yeah I was able to power through it. I guess it is just frustrating when you prepare for levels assuming you are going to face human enemies only to be swarmed by mutants but I am really enjoying this overall.

Really enjoying this as well. The atmosphere of this game is really great. Also, one of my favorite things is all the crap that gets on your gas mask and having to wipe it off by pressing a button--I donno why but that is such a great little detail. Spoiler Alert 4 hours in: Have any of you guys finished the swamp level? It is frustrating to me that the mutants seem to respawn indefinitely. Also I was a little annoyed when I died in the swamp and then when I reloaded the game, a load screen message says "Shotguns are the best all-around weapon against mutants." ... I wish I would have known that before I got stuck in this swamp with no shotgun. Also, I can't seem to figure out how to get to that stupid plane while a billion mutants try to eat me. Anyway, I really like this game over all, the sense of atmosphere is great, walking through all the little town/community areas is really fanstically detailed in all the right ways, but I am getting really tired of these incessant firefights with mutants. I can't imagine playing this section in Ranger mode.

Thanks!

Hey one more NP2 question: If I send a fleet out before finishing research on weapons but I finish researching before the fleet arrives at a star that I am attacking, my fleet will attack with the higher weapons tech level right? What about if the fleet arrives at the exact same time (tick?) as I finish the research?

Thanks! Yeah I would love to hear some feedback. We have done some pretty fascinating things lately, I am pretty biased though

Well if that is the case, I should arrive first and get the defender bonus which will be great. Thanks for the help guys--I knew I came to the right place!

So I am sending ships to defend a star that my opponent has sent ships to attack. I looked at the times that the ships are supposed to arrive and my ships are supposed to arrive at EXACTLY the same time as my opponent--the times are exactly the same right down to the second. Do you know whether I will get the defender bonus with that fleet? Any help would be much appreciated.

Hey guys, I run a crazy weird site called GameChurch.com I am a long time Idle Thumbs listener--I just joined the forum, mostly for the selfish purpose of trying to get some Neptune's Pride 2 tips ... and yes I do believe it is ruining my life. I must be playing it right. Anyway I love the podcast and am looking forward to messing around on the forums! VIDEO GAMES!
