It said my monitor resolution was to small lol

[lordcooper]

Umm, what resolution are you using?

[revo]

fixed it. thanks though.

[Karlito]

how do you play with the cloaky ship? it seems you can dodge attaks by timing the stealth, but then the cooldown and no shield means you always get some hull damage here and there

You just need to have enough firepower that you can disable their weapon systems after your first decloak.

it'll show up in a bundle sooner or later

Have fun doing things other than playing FTL.  I'm sure they exist.

Oh.... I can't remember what the world was like before this game.

they certainly do

Gods yes.  SC's arcade ship combat was great in its way, but it's fun to imagine it replaced with FTL's combat.

I was up laaate last night agonizing over the final boss (my second time reaching it, the first time ended *real fast*).  Mistakes were made, but I like to think I brought it down with me.  I think I can win next time, which is very important for a game like this.

(As a Marathon fanboy, I like to pretend I'm a sardonic ship-AI.  Originally designed to operate doors, and using them to good effect on foolish insects boarders.  I cherish my greatest weapons crew members.)

Heh, the final boss is a pain yeah.

The ship I used to beat it was:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The Zoltan (?) green guys green ship. I had the 15% weapon cooldown, the hard shields, and the 20% chance to block emp. I only had 4 crewmembers too (2 green guys and 2 engis so I couldn't fight off boarders for shit)

Weapons were:
1. EMP II
2. EMP (uses only one power but takes double the time to charge)
3. Halberd laser
4. Breach missile

Drones were:
1. Boarding
2. Anti-personnel

I didn't have enough power to use all my weapons and drones at the same time of course. What my strategy generally revolved around was having the two emp full powered at all times (or I'd be ground into paste ridiculously fast). Then powering either the missile or the laser (missile if their shields were still up). And I would launch the boarding drone at every opportunity. I'd just keep both emps on the enemy's shield and use the missile / laser on the enemy's squishy bits. Most of the time the boarding drone would distract a large amount of the enemy personnel.

Then round 2 of the boss fight for obvious reasons the boarding drone doesn't work. That one I used the missile / laser on the drone control and hoped for the best really. I found this part was the most difficult.

Round 3 was when the anti-personnel drone came into play. Use that and liberal usage of oxygen venting to buy enough time to blow up the enemy with breach missiles. Seeing the enemy blow up was very satisfying as it was a real challenge.

Game is wonderful, but it is persistent on stretching my resolution after I quit the game. That or it looks horribly squashed in game until I auto-adjust my screen.

You guys have any other ideas how I can make the game look neat without having to adjust to tiny letters/icons of new resolution?

[Tellemurius]

windowed mode?

[Haspen]

That cuts off as much as 1/3 of visible screen :I

[umiman]

I just beat the game with only flame weapons hahaha, oh god it was hilarious.

Quick tip, if you guys ever come across a flame bomb, keep it. It's redonkulous!

[fred1248]

Nearly beat the game with 3 MK II burst lasers...
A volley fire of 9 laser turns out to be super effective... ONLY WHEN YOU CAN ACTUALLY HIT THE TARGET.

Got brutally murdered by the boss.
I will now proceed to go cry myself to sleep in the corner.
