Question. What's the name of the song at the final sector?

[Leafsnail]

This is dumb. One: The AI will not attempt to do system damage in rooms with low air, and immediately venting and disabling life support will vent air fast enough that even 4 mantis can only do a points worth of system damage - and if you have a guy or two run interference before fleeing to the medbay, not even that.

Second: Venting the ship makes fires quickly go out, before they can do damage, and is probably the safest thing to do at a sun. Even ignoring boarders, first action I take at sun locations is venting all non-critical rooms. You don't actually NEED to restore o2 to the whole ship before you jump - especially with the engi nanobots, it's simply enough to run your people back immediately after the jump if they don't send more boarders.

Also it's better to take a few points of hull damage than lose all your crew.

Question. What's the name of the song at the final sector?

'Federation (Bonus)', if I'm not mistaken. According to sector data, it picks random from Civilian, Milkyway and Cosmos.

Battle against Flagship is 'Last Stand'.

Be sure to link to it if you find it

[Neyvn]

OMG LOL!!!!

So... I got a Firebomb from an early mission, and came across one of those "Pirates siegeing a small colony" event. There were the normal things, Ignore and Be a Hero. But with Firebomb there was an extra choice.
"Show the Pirates how to REALLY intimidate a simple colony..."

[Haspen]

Oh, wow. That was hillarious

[kilakan]

Yeah you get a similar one with the fire beam, Scorch the earth or crops, something along the lines of that

Sadly the ship died moments later in an Asteroid field... T_T

Karma's a bitch.

Not sure what the modding scene is like for FTL but is it possible to add the ability for crew to man all stations? It's a little annoying to have a ton of crew members, no teleporter and only 3 stations you can man.

[MrWiggles]

I havent seen anyone modify the ships themselves. Though having extra members aren't actually a waste, as they're free to move about the ship to repair, and to fight off boarders, while still having your primary crew keep at their stations.

[Catastrophic lolcats]

Yeah I know they're not a complete waste but to me it would be more interesting having them on some stations instead of bumming around the hallways waiting for a missile to wreck something. I also like giving my crew small personalities like "engineer" or "weapons". It would add some nice flavour.

[Kilroy the Grand]

Hey I kinda want to play FTL, anyone willing to trade me it for Civ 5?

[MrWiggles]

I dun know what they would do on other stations though. They couldnt man the teleport room because its room occupants are targeted for the teleport. The scanner room, does its job already, and to invent incentive to man it I think would be kinda of silly, as you'd need to take away ability from it.

[Karlito]

The cloaking device could be manned.
