Either one or two Forced Deployments, I forget. Definitely not three.
I used both Twist the Ether and Imbued Fire. Redundancy so that they would be drawn quicker and I was in insula primalus so no chance at Cramped Quarters Combat.
As with the Blade unlock, Wraith with double Eyepieces helps a whole lot.
New here. Hi!
As silly as it sounds, anyone experimented with Voss having an odd # of HP when the ships go down? That seems to be a commonality that someone mentioned on the thread earlier.
Or maybe I dreamed it.
I know that doesn't really have story implications...but maybe that's it?
Anyone unlocked with Voss at an even # of HP?
Other notes about my unlock of cosmic omnitron.
clear field
voss at 5 HP
Two forced deployments as the only voss trash before the ships hit
five member team, visionary, wraith, legacy, Ra, Haka.
no promos, no tachyon.
both ships hit the trash on Haka's turn.
For those of you working mad bomber. I would strongly suggest you not play in Magalopolis. The heroes need to be away from the city when baron blade tries to blow it up.
as you say, voss at an odd number of HP would be a strange requirement. Hit points have no meaning. I'm liking the voss flip condition theory but I think it was shot down earlier.
To correct myself, the odd # of HP was actually mentioned as an aside on the Handelabra forum, and not in this thread.
It is a strange theory. But I can't see any other commonality between others' unlocks so far.
I haven't unlocked it yet -- won't get a chance to try until later tonight.
And because of post #139 all speculation after is moot. So somewhere before that is our X Factor.
I unlocked Mad Bomber while in Megalopolis.
I'd have to double-check my screenshots (I don't have my iPad with me now), but I'm 90% certain that I didn't have any Forced Deplyments in the trash when I triggered the unlock. It happened fairly early in my game as I had lucked into both ships coming out while hunting for soemthing else.
I don't think that Voss at odd number of HP is it. The screenshot at: https://twitter.com/DomanRyler/status/540327487218388992/photo/1 shows an unlock happening with Voss at 42HP. I'd like to think that it's not something as arbitrary as odd number of HP though. That would be disappointing.
Side note: That screenshot also shows an unlock in Atlantis, the first of those that I've seen.
GAH! I know I'm going to smack myself in the head when we finally figure this out.
Welcome to the forums! Please leave your sanity at the door.
so much for that theory. Ah well more hunting.
I guess I have to declare myself stuck:
I have killed the two ships many times now, in many configurations of heroes, in two environments, with no luck.
I have killed Voss the ships with Voss on both sides of his card, have killed with almost no trash dead, have killed with a lot of trash killed (including quark drives killed same turn or before), ...
Before last few attempts I reread all the previous posts to see if someone in a successful run did something I had not tried, I saw a few things tried them but no joy.
When I get back later this evening I will again reread posts and see if something stands out.
Good luck to those who have not yet been able to unlock it.
There is no user data in SotM that survives an app uninstall/reinstall. That includes continues, options, variant info, etc. Your game will be exactly like someone installing it for the first time ever.
A word of caution: if you are interested in seeing stats/etc about your historical game data in a future update, I would advise against deleting the app. Some things are being recorded for future use.
This pleases me. 
Blackmail?
Nope. They just want to embarrass me by showing the world exactly how many times I've lost hideously to non-advanced Blade.
Yes.
ETA: I should really finish reading the thread before replying…
This concerns me greatly. When I upgraded to the current version (I bought mine via amazon apps), it said "this app cannot be upgraded, it must be un-installed and re-installed". I didn't mind at the time, but now…uh… If that happens with every upgrade…
From the perspective of us players, the optimal solution would be some sort of account with Handelabra that stores all our unlocks, game data, etc, but I understand that from a programming and maintenance perspective, that's a huge pain in the behind for Handelabra.
I think a really cool compromise would be a feature in the game, under options, that gives you a code (some sort of a hash) that is basically like an old school Nintendo code. If you wanted to (for instance) install the game onto a newly purchased tablet, you could export the code from your old copy, install it on the new copy, enter the code, and pick up right where you left off.
This would also be super awesome for the upcoming Steam release. I plan to buy it on both platforms, so it would be awesome if I could pop-out some code from my android copy, enter it into my Steam copy, and *boom* have all my stuff without doing the unlocks again. This could also satisfy people that don't want to bother with unlocks, as they could just beg a code from someone that has everything unlocked.
