![]() ![]() You also have good blue options from the teleporter and Defence Drone, but they apply to the same event. The Boarding Drone has a low-scrap blue option. Even without blue options, distress beacons can give crew, and are safer on average. Sector 1 distress beacons are worth visiting. When completely safe, destroy systems for surrender offers (as low as 1 hull). Leave one Mantis in piloting (to start the FTL charging immediately), and put the other in sensors. When the whole ship is airless, you now need a level 3 medbay to repair O2 ( it used to work with level 2). It’s possible to repair vented O2 provided you have air in the medbay. Fires suffocate at 10% O2, as opposed to 5% where crew suffocate so you can even refill those rooms to 10% after venting. Vent the bottom-left corner, then close the doors before the fire starts. Precise venting helps against solar flares or fire-lighting weapons. A rapid crew-kill can be your best defence. Your boarding drone is not just for Automated ships. For example, when the drone lands in the shields room on an Auto-scout, you can force its next room to be weapons instead of piloting.ĭon’t hesitate to spend drone parts when fights look dangerous. When the drone starts leaving a room, you can sometimes make it change destination by toggling power. Regardless, consider avoiding nebula beacons early on. With an upgraded teleporter, this becomes 100% with the help of your Mantis, but it’s not worth 30 early-game scrap. That means it can kill 90% of Automated ships, unless they are running away. The boarding drone will eventually kill any Automated ship, unless it lands in an isolated piloting room. Remove power from shields as well, if you don’t need them. On Hard, remove power from the drone before a missile fires, to reduce the chance of drones being targeted. The defence drone is unreliable at protecting shields and drones. Once you have three crew, you gain the option of using distraction tactics to break weapons (see Mantis C for an explanation). An Ion Blast is cheap and lets you attack Zoltan ships. A Small Bomb lets you disable enemy weapons (or medbays). One-power weapons are particularly good, because you can use them immediately. They look similar, but you might want to avoid fighting an unseen Automated ship before you’ve made your ship safer.Īfter you’ve taken care of early-game safety, look for weapons, crew, or hacking. Read the text for events! This event is a crew fight, and this event is an Automated ship fight. You can sell Mantis Pheromones and buy engines-3. Engines-2 increases your odds of survival to 94%, engines-3 to nearly 100% and likely to take a lot less damage. Even with perfect play, you’ll die about 1 time in 3. Mantis B’s nemesis is an Automated or Zoltan ship with a Small Bomb and Burst Laser 2. Plan routes that let you revisit a previous beacon and repair after a disaster. Despite its apparent strength, this ship is vulnerable at the start because Mantis crew are terrible at repairs and fire-fighting. ![]()

XPRO 1 REVIEWS FULLThe Fujifilm X-Pro1 is priced at the very top end of the compact system camera market, with the only other camera that is more expensive being the Leica M9 full frame 18 megapixel digital rangefinder. Additional sample photos and information can be found in the Equipment Database, and from each lens: 18mm f/2.0, 35mm f/1.4, 60mm f/2.4. Here we've taken a number of sample photos taken in a variety of situations, including real world as well as studio test photos. We used a fast class 10 / UHS:1 card for these test. Shooting RAW it's possible to shoot 11 shots at 5fps, after this the next shot was taken after 1.6 seconds, then each additional shot took another 3.4 seconds. XPRO 1 REVIEWS MANUALManual focus is possible with each lens featuring a fly-wire manual focus ring this can be used in conjunction with the camera letting you view a magnified view of the subject by pressing the scroll wheel on the back.Ĭontinuous shooting shoots at roughly 6fps for the first 15 shots, then gradually slows to 4fps then 3fps, then 2fps depending on the speed of your card. Focus is generally quite rapid, unless you select the macro mode, which slows the camera down, particularly in low light or with subjects with low levels of contrast. To test this we took 6 or more shots and calculated the average, so that consistent results were produced.įocus speed is quickest with the 18mm lens, followed by the 35mm, then the 60mm macro. Speed - We tested each camera's performance at focusing, shutter response, shot to shot time, continuous shooting etc and have posted the results below. A power save mode is available and using the optical viewfinder the battery should last up to around 1000 shots. The Fn button can also be customised to give access to your favourite setting.īattery Life - Battery life is rated at 300 shots according to CIPA standards, we were able to take just over 340 shots before the battery went flat. This makes it easy and quick to set options. ![]() There is an additional control panel accessible using the Q button on the back in combination with the 4-way controller and scroll wheel. Menus - The Fujifilm X-Pro1 has an updated menu system with the photo and setup options neatly separated over a number of screens, with each section colour coded (these can be viewed in the menu walk-through video below). The front switch lets you switch between the different viewfinder modes. With a textured covering surrounding the camera and a rubberised front hand grip the camera is easy to hold firmly and the solid metal body is reassuring in use, although the camera is larger than most mirrorless cameras. An exposure compensation dial is easy to use although it's quite easy to accidentally turn it when handling the camera. For those who are used to automatic settings these can both be set to A. Handling - With a manual aperture ring on the lens and manual shutter speed ring on top of the camera, the camera feels very easy to use for anybody coming from a traditional SLR or camera. ![]() An example video showing the different modes can be seen here. First introduced in the Fujifilm X100, this lets you use the optical viewfinder that is matched to the lenses, an electronic viewfinder, or an optical viewfinder with an electronic overlay showing the shooting options. Hybrid Viewfinder with electronic or optical view and optical with electronic overlay. ![]() |
