It wasn’t that impressive. I played as a Merchant, so I avoided every ship combat, without exception, for 20 years and 25 levels, lol. Then I made the mistake of upgrading my ship. It was bigger, better, with a larger cargo hold – but it sucked down fuel when jumping. After one such jump, a Xeno intercepted me, and I didn’t have the fuel to Skip off the Void to avoid it. Game over!
About 12,000 turns in total, on Impossible, so still not bad. Earned me spot #104 on the SFT/Impossible leaderboard!
