Oh man, this looks so awesome. Too bad I can't buy it though ;( Will have to make do with youtube videos.

[Neyvn]

Soonnnnnnnnn...........

[Briggsy16]

I'm under the impression it's going to be available for £6.99 on Steam or $10 directly from the FTL site. I also read they're doing 10% off too

I'll go with whichever is cheapest as the FTL site gives a Steam key anyway

$9 on their site, which gives you a Steam key as mentioned. £5 or so. Not bad at all!

[ScriptWolf]

When does it come out is it today still ? And is it on steam ?

[Briggsy16]

It's out now on their website (which gives a Steam key to register) or out on Steam tonight at 18:00 British time

[ScriptWolf]

Woop I can't wait for this thanks for the info if I buy from their website now will I get a steam key ?

[Briggsy16]

Yeah you will, I've got mine.

I think I managed to get to the end on my very first ship, I got ridiculously lucky with the random events and stuff, also, attacking the weapons system seems like the best way to go about just about any engagement I have been in. The rock man is an awesome crew member, not only is he immune to fire but he makes a great "tank" for when you get boarded. Anyways, I got to the last system on that spiral map and faced the rebel flagship. Got promptly destroyed so I guess I will have to make some more exploring on my next run to hopefully get some weapons that can actually do decent damage hah.

But still, is that all there is to the game? I hope it continues after the rebel flagship because otherwise it feels pretty damn short, even for a $9 game.

EDIT: Then again it might just have been the epic name that caused the enemy captains to tremble in their space boots in fear.

I love the mechanics of the game, even though it has a pause feature I can feel the stress during an engagement.

You're not just looking to the highest damage weapon, as max energy usage has a hard cap.

You'll have to maximize damage per energy point too.

This is the point where I'm basically just staring at a clock.

Aptus -

You managed to get to sector 8 on normal difficulty on your first try? Wow, I'm really impressed.

I was actually having so much trouble with normal difficulty that I actually took the game back to easy difficulty, just to make sure that I wasn't going nuts. Turned out I wasn't, thankfully - my improved skills from normal play let me coast through easy for a big win (although not quite as flawless as my first win - without cloak I took quite a bit more damage,) but I still haven't gotten to sector 8 on normal.

Oh man, only 20 scrap and do I sell off one of two Burst Laser mk II for a Pike Beam to go with my Ion Blaster? .... Argh.

"You have found a Pike Beam."
