    I changed my controls to the non-thrust button option, much easier, practically thumb-stick movement.

    Anyone completed it using only the Old Janopy? I am trying but it is hard already on normal.

    Already played through it 3 times but am aiming for 1000 Plus+ points. My game of the year for 2010 so far.

    I was able to do it a few days ago. Check a page or two back for tips.

    Wait to get all the alien tech before you try the old jalopy achievement. Then you can add to your defenses. A good technique to use is: while coasting, turn your ship around and shoot at the boss. Use your radar to aim if he's offscreen.

    I've gotten all achievements and am ranked #3 globally, yeah!

    I think I just kept shooting...for awhile.
     
  12. Keep shooting. It takes a hell of a lot to blow that thing up. Make sure you've got a good amount of cargo space though.

    Yep, there's an achievement for killing it and another for collecting ALL the loot it drops. Make sure you have lots of cargo space (either buy a high capacity ship and/or use the alien technologies that increases your cargo space).

    you have to keep fire at it..for a minute or more..every weapon is effective i think,you just have to hold the fire and don't surrender!

    The pinata takes a lot of firepower and time. I went with the most advanced cargo hull (to get the "rich" achievement) with the most powerful weapons I can pack on. It still took over two minutes of non-stop blasting and drilling to blow up the piñata.

    BTW, you need the biggest hull available to get all the ore from the piñata. I went with the second biggest the first time around and it wasn't enough.

    Battle warship is the biggest hull or there's something better?

    No, I had it and it is not enough. I didn't have any alien cargo-load increasing technology though. Anyway, there is a cargo hull that is bigger than battle warship, but otherwise worse. You should get it for this achievement. And also put in all the alien technology that would help, just to be sure.

    Like the poster above me, you gotta use the cargo spec ships which has the biggest cargo of any ship of that level. I might try using the Battle Warship with both the Alien Tech and see if I make it. I chuckled when I saw the Pinata-stroid for the first time, really epic when it blows up.
