I only use Silent Running in the ALZ with the Thermal Upgrade, and even then you don't need it 3/4 of the time.
Silent Running mode is a massive waste of power. It's incredibly simple to turn off your engine after an attack, watch the scary monster swim away, then repair the single breach you got from that single hit you took.Īlso, the smaller enemies like Crabsquid or Ampeels don't do nearly enough damage to even bring the Overshield (top 20 percent of HP, the regenerating bit) down unless there are multiple around your ship, in which case simply shut down your engine if a breach occurs, then go weld. Something that almost no one on here seems to know (with all those posts about their Cyclopses getting blown up and that) is that simply turning off your engine makes the Cyclops emit zero noise.
