Overview
This guide provides strategies and tips for increasing long-term success and enjoyment in Void Crew, with a focus on prioritizing missions, upgrading ship systems, and optimizing loadouts based on the Saganaki Flying and Solo Destroyer guide.
Understanding Game Difficulty and Progression
- Void Crew's challenge decreases as you learn ship piloting, enemy targeting, mission prioritization, and essential gameplay tricks.
- Progress and difficulty are influenced by your advancement in the skill tree; early levels (up to 15) are crucial for the Gene tree.
Recommended Guides and Resources
- The Saganaki Flying and Solo Destroyer guide, available on the official Discord, is highly recommended for new and solo players.
- Normandy's weapon stats and mechanics lookup table provides detailed information on module and relic combinations.
Mission Priority and Strategy
- Side missions provide free loot and are always worth completing.
- Main mission priority (from easiest to hardest): Desecration, Salvage, Infestation, Cleanse, Protect, Ambush, Strike, Download, Raid.
- Prioritize Desecration and Salvage for the best balance of low risk and high rewards.
- Infestation and Cleanse can be managed effectively with strategic enemy engagement and adequate firepower.
- Ambush, Strike, Download, and Raid are riskier and best attempted with a competent crew and upgraded ship.
Target Priority During Missions
- Target order: Bomber Elites, Sniper Elites, Bombers, Destroyers, Snipers, Fighter Swarms.
- Quickly eliminate Bomber and Sniper Elites to protect mission objectives.
Ship Upgrade Priorities
- Upgrade sequence: Fabricator Mark 2, Mark 2 Guns, Fabricator Mark 3, Mark 3 Guns, turret mods, Mark 2 Scoops, auto mechanic, Mark 3 generators, Mark 3 point defense.
- Consider early investment in point defense for difficult bosses or early power generator upgrades if necessary.
Gene Tree Optimization
- Prioritize the Pilot tree for mobility and evasive maneuvers, but pick up Scavenger class ability and key repair abilities from Engineering.
- At level 15 and beyond, shift into Engineering for stronger enhancements and utility, finishing with Pilot and Scavenger skills.
Ship Layout and Equipment Tips
- Early game: Use extra animus crates for a second scoop to reduce downtime.
- Mid game: Solve power issues with an additional generator; four guns are sufficient with power optimizers.
- Late game: Transition to Mark III equipment, utilize relics for extra power, and customize with support mods for boss fights.
Turret Mods and Relic Selection
- Upgrade to Mark III turrets and use Mark II mods to maximize damage.
- Prioritize fire rate, damage, and the Relentless Assault mod; substitute with accuracy or energy overload if needed.
- Include one biomass catalyst for optimal performance.
