I can not survive the first wave with the elder. I actually can no longer think of anything I haven't tried (no matter how stupid it seemed).

I cant find a way to get any specialist to the Kyburz before the elder ship arrives.

I have sent the pirate or the pirate and the inspector to intercept the elder ship but I still loose against the elder. I have tried the above having promoted the inspector (again didnt work). I've tried doing that whilst also promoting the liuetenant and that is the closest I have got but its still a fail!

I have tried sending the saboteur, assasin and double agent against the elder ship. I've also tried doing that with a pirate. Obviously failed.

I've tried sending various specialists at the second sub (using a pirate to get their quick) but you just loose them or the elder ship has already arrived.

only thing I can think of that I haven't tried revolves around what is considered to be a factory, is a mine a factory?

This is really doing my nut in!

Purple panda... These aren't the solutions just things that I have tried that get closer to beating (but don't work)

I haven't attempted this since Saboteurs were reduced to 2, it's indeed tough! I haven't found the new solution yet.

Totally stuck in this one as well. Best I've gotten to is managing to survive the attack from the Elder, but losing so much in the process that I die anyway (I even have to sacrifice my Queen). Can anyone give me a nice hint (over PM to not spoil it?)

Thanks!

EDIT: I just solved the Kobayashi Maru, which means only this one is left! It's killing me!

Ok, I've just been exchanging PMs with someone that managed to solve it but, in his case, there were "only" 45 drills coming from Calmer, and I have 55. Might there be a bug somewhere? How many drills do others see in this scenario?

Yeah, I had previously solved it. I'm the one seeing 45 on startup and can solve again no problem with that number using the same method I had previously used to solve it.

You can use the pirate to avoid sacrificing the queen but you still won't be able to defend from the second attack. This is killing me.

@Ron has this been updated since Saboteurs were reduced to 2 hires instead of 3?
