Apparently hallucinations can occur in my crew when I land on a wild planet...I just ignored it, I managed to survive.  Are there any effects that I should worry about?  That save game's already gone, but in the future, I wouldn't want to control a team full of raving lunatics.

Currently there's a bug that can break your game - hallucinating party members are sometimes sent off to the ship's infirmary. Should it happen to your captain, he'll get permanently kicked out from awayteam since you can't change his allocation status. Either savescumm or avoid those planets is my advice.

Doesnt break game per-se it just means your not captain badass anymore. your captain sit-in-the-ship-and-give-orders. After some implants and a handy superior spoilerweapon my gunner kinda became my new captain badass

At a certain point, the big thing is more in simple massed firepower. Once you get a heavy explorer or a troop transport, a large force of redshirts volley-firing... well, anything tends to clean house. Robots and mega-beasts can still screw up your day pretty fast, so anywhere with a lot of those needs to be handled carefully.

I now know how to get good weapons and armour. Just massacre a stranded crew on a destroyer or something. They drop tons of p. forcefields.

Damn, would anyone happen to have any strategies for taking out the

You're going to need a huge party with augmented soldiers. Try to see if the robot are spawning from something. Touch everything.

You shoot ALL the computers.

Shoot all factories.

There are 4 ways of doing this, arranged from difficult to easy:

1) Fight the robots underground and through the way to the scoutship.
2) Walk through the force field, taking massive damage.  Possible only with big crew.
3) Use an alien teleporter artifact to teleport PAST the force field.
4) Have enough scanning power that you see the landing pad right next to the Alien Scoutship.

I haven't been around for the last few updates, is taking the initiative and shooting at the animals before they get you still valid or can you safely ignore them?

Also: Can I fly an alien ship I found floating in space? I keep getting killed by crystal aliens/etc whenever I find one, but I just found another so I'm going to go off and get some epic gear first. But anyway: Can I use the ship?

You can, or you can just strip the useful parts and leave the rest. Kill everything aboard then you can choose to abandon yours and take over that one at the bridge.

[Gamerlord]

Sweet. And will it come up as 'Scout' or 'Battleship' or something?

While it's drifting it should tell you the name of the class, yes. I think it tells you when you interact with the bridge as well.

[Gamerlord]

I think theres some miscommunication. I don't mean drifting ships in general, I mean these green ships I sometimes find floating. They always say its an unidentified alien vessel or something like that and I usually never survive past the second room.

Oh, I've never seen one of those before. It's probably one of those

which I've never tried to board before.
