This spectacular triumph against evil forces of cereals and vegetables feels a bit wrong:

Uh, but murdering, robbing and enslaving people doesn't feel wrong?

By the way, when you get to enslave the Ninja Gals ? I have my jail base with all of them waiting for the research tech to activate.

How am I suppose to fight the ghost somethings in Sea Oddity mission?

[Dioxine]

Ghosts are very resistant to physical damage, as it should be expected. Such situation usually means you need to use something else, or, failing that, use more physical damage. Ctrl+H shows if your last attacks did any damage, I believe this is written in the Hotkeys article. I won't tell more because that'd be a spoiler.

Ok, so looking into ruleset I wild guess that ghost take 100% damage from Mind and Charm type damage. So in my situation from what weapons I have is only wand of pain. It worked perfectly. However I think some adjustments should be made. I vaguely recall having sea oddity mission prior to reaching voodoo tech. In such case the mission ended in part 1 (killing all the aquatic enemies), but having unlocked voodoo the second part got unlocked. But I think the part got unlocked way to fast. As soon as I've unlocked voodoo, I've ordered construction of the school and now In the month where first hands get their voodoo training. Shouldn't the ghost part start appearing when I have at least 1 hand recorded finishing voodoo training? Also if I fly to the mission at night, shouldn't the second part also be at night making it easier to spot the ghosts?

I totally finished that mission with ghost gals twice, without any voodoo, and using only weapons that fall into "underwater" category and are usable during stage 1.   

[Dioxine]

Shouldn't the ghost part start appearing when I have at least 1 hand recorded finishing voodoo training?

You ask impossible, the mission generator doesn't have a way of knowing THAT. Assuming I'd be interested in such hand-holding anyway. Besides, like Vansi said, you don't need any Wand of Pain. It's doable even with the starting weapons.

[ivandogovich]

The humble anchor can often do a number on ghosts.

[Dioxine]

You can learn the ghosts' resistances from Arcane Books and I think some other sources. So it's not like you're forced to go in blind. You can also bail.

So I finally unlocked higher studies. It's amusing that the saber ultimate fighter looks rather mundane and unimpressive compared to the nightmare. The dragon is suitably badass though.

Does anyone find the sorceress a bit underwhelming? I mean sure it's cool, but having both hands locked is so crippling. Especially if you actually want to use mind control you basically need to attach a support to re-energize her all the time. Also it's a bit unfortunate that the ultimate voodoo outfit can't use any voodoo items besides the built-ins. And the MC itself, I dunno. I need to experiment more but so far it barely seems worth the effort compared to just shooting someone with an XG gatling or something. It's all really just an issue of balance. I perfectly understand that the lategame especially is not finished in this mod and currently the lategame weapons and armor are quite overpowered compared to anything else making special tricks feel redundant.

[Zippicus]

The saber is actually pretty nice.  It's super fast, has a shield, has a nice dodge bonus, and for the times you do take damage it has a repair bonus.  If you want to shoot down a hotrod this is the ship to do it with.

As far as the VooDoo outfits go, they're all useful for their special niche, but yeah it's hard to go wrong with an XG chaingun lol.
