In my current game I was trying to finish Keller off very late, Year 3347, and it looks like I'll be incapable to do it. I knew that Keller becomes stronger and stronger over time but I had no idea how bad this could become, or that the too-late point could come so soon - Not that 3347 is exactly soon but in other games I waited till the early 40ies and still could manage him with some troubles. The problem inside the wormhole is that Keller and his minions are extremely deadly. Most attacks do lots of damage. I am flying the Rock (Unique ship from Military bases) and it crumbles like a sheet of paper when being hit. Trying to grab the health package in the center of Keller's hole is suicide most of the time. And I am not nimble enough to stay away from harm long enough so Droid Junior can slowly fix me up. I have a save before entering the wormhole, of course. Trying to unequip all weapons, then reequip inside the wormhole seems not to help (like it does whith normal wormholes). Regarding weapons I can mix and match between three Multi-Resonators, two IMHOs and a whole bank of missile launchers. Questions: - Doesn't the trick of flying with unequipped weapons into the hole work with Keller's or did I just not notice the effect?
- Does the difficulty setting regarding 'black holes' apply to the Keller-battle? I have it at the highest level, of course, but not for the first time.
- Is it known how Keller's strength progresses? Is it just over time or some other variables (e.g. I have 2.5 or 3.5K Dominator kills, over 1.2M experience and 54 mio CR in cash, not counting a huge stash of spare equipment on diverse planets).
- Any other ideas?

Is it known how Keller's strength progresses? Is it just over time or some other variables His strength also depends on how often you visit him in the hole. There's no secret that Keller is a real help for artefacts' getting, but every time you enter his hole, he gains additional strength for the next meeting. I do not remember the last time I played the game and I've forgotten quite a lot of useful information to answer the rest of your questions.

Doesn't the trick of flying with unequipped weapons into the hole work with Keller's or did I just not notice the effect? No it doesn*t help in Kellers wormhole... Any other ideas? Try to find five "stream blasters" and than fly in the wormhole backwards making circles. Health package is reborning every one minute... Good luck for you!

Health package is reborning every one minute... No! Time differs every time you enter the hole for the new art. The more entries - the longer period of health reappearence. Good lack for you! Hope, you meant luck?

Hope, you meant luck? yesss... it*s mechanical mistake ... No! Time differs every time you enter the hole for the new art. The more entries - the longer period of health reappearence. excuse me, but i don*t think so...

excuse me, but i don*t think so... Whatever you think, the time really differs...

There's nothing in his words to have any influence upon my opinion, since my experience gives me the right to insist on those of mine! You'd better rely on your own experience, rather than trust someone else!

The mans opinion matchs with my experience and i don*t have any reason to say that he isn*t right/

The mans opinion matchs with my experience and i don*t have any reason to say that he isn*t right/ Ok, if you want to check this out just try these two saves from one of the champs I've recently participated. The first conclusion you should make - is that time really differs. The second conclusion - is the time tends to grow every time you enter the hole for the next time. Hint: for better testing I'd recommend you to use cheat 'GOD' and a stop-watch.

Ok, I*ll try it and if you are right I*ll bring you my excuse to you...

Thanks to all who have responded, His strength also depends on how often you visit him in the hole. Fortunately, this is of no concern in my case. I have never entered Keller's wormhole before in this game. About the number of visits to 'normal' (i.e. Klissan) wormholes I don't know the exact number. I have maybe about 70 kills in hyperspace battles. Is it conceivable that such meetings also caount against Keller's strength? Try to find five "stream blasters" and than fly in the wormhole backwards making circles.
I've to agree that Multi-Resonators and Rocket Launchers look sub-optimal for this battle, and IMHOs seem outright useless, given that I cannot affort getting close to any target. I've had good results with Multis in other wormholes, but here most shots fly wide of any target. The seeking Flow Blaster projectiles are probably most effective. I certainly have a lot of those stashed away. Using the VERTIX-cheat, I found these to be effective, too. Actually, Vertixes are the weapong giving me the most headaches in this battle as I find their projectiles hard to dodge. I was intending to try burn away most of my cash reserves and see, if being poorer when entering the wormhole has any effect. Didn't try yet (ancious and dispirited), but between this or retrieving a better weapon loadout, all I could do would be going back many, many game years.

I was intending to try burn away most of my cash reserves and see, if being poorer when entering the wormhole has any effect. Doubtful. By the way, do you use 'small droid' in holes? This is a real help!
