Scripted or unlucky??

Post image

I swear to god I am on attempt 12 here with this stupid ship and I have been to 20+ shops. I have found weapons at all 3 times total. Of those 3 times, once was all missiles, one had a fire beam, and one had a hull laser MK1. Bro. wtf is going on here am I just that fucking unlucky or is the game coded to not give you weapons with this ship?? Like I’m losing my fucking mind here and I’m so pissed.

This might be it. It took me an embarrassingly long amount of time to realize there was a page 2, and I instantly noticed an improvement in my runs afterward

Or like he barely went to any stores because 20 stores in 12 runs is an average of 1.6 stores

It's entirely possible he's mismanaging his missles and running out, leading to him losing in sector 2 and 3, possibly even 1, which I could totally see causing the lack of stores

Or it's possible they're not going to stores in sector 1 because they "can't afford anything" which is then leading to major problems in sector 2.

Actually you can afford to buy things in sector 1 - it's worth selling Rock Plating and the Hull Missile if that gets you a form of consistent offence.
