What I like is the way the game forces you to adapt your flying style to the ship, rather than the other way around, which is what I did with the first two episodes. Impostor requires you to choose battles, clone wisely, and learn new ways of piloting. It's also nice to have the experience of flying ships that you never would have built yourself. I have to say I missed the whole Captain Blix thing as well. What happened there?

I saw a blerb at the bottom saying something like "i am captain blix" then the odd colored ship and then it was all over. my second full play through worked out a bit better. things definitely happen faster once you get higher up and you just start annihilating everything around you and i think that's why i missed blix the first time, i did notice he has some suicide style guns on his ship. I do have some questions about the end game, why is his ship also the Narcissus, are you a clone of blix's ship hence the corrupt system? why does your pilot image change after taking him out? idk if im missing something that explains this while im fighting him Spoilers?

Blix is imposing, but cloning him seems the wrong way to go; he's too hard to get behind. Much better to get a crapload of Juliet guns, and shoot at him as he does his fly-bys. Oddly, he's not that dangerous as long as you don't get in his path. Okay, beat it twice now. Blix is imposing, but cloning him seems the wrong way to go; he’s too hard to get behind.
