It's the first sector. I already restarted.

Ye fuck, engi cruiser is OP. Every battle (at least up to third sector) is won by jamming weapons and just turning on the drones.

Edit: three-shot blasters are also OP. Especially when paired.

Its really strong early on. But once they start getting better shields it gets way weaker (since you will need a secondary weapon or another drone to break through their shield).

[Dariush]

Gah, I'm down to one crew member. And this was my best run.

How do I unlock other ships, apart from the beat-the-final-boss one?

[GlyphGryph]

Nevermind: I figured it out! Gotta buy it on their website to play it.

[forsaken1111]

Are they eventually going to announce a way for us 'nix folks to play it?

Wine

[GlyphGryph]

Nah, they got the 'nix version for sale on their website, and I guess they email it to you. Well, a link to it, I assume.

My eyes skipped right over it the first time. Damn trained ad-blindness.

[Dariush]

To unlock the Stealth class, you must have at least one Engi crewmember. Warp to the Engi Homeworld and find a warp zone where a small fleet of Engi ships are gathering.

>The only remaining crew member is human, found the event.

FUCK.

Edit: I can't find any new weapons anywhere with the Engi cruiser. As soon as enemies routinely start employing third level shields, I become completely fucked with the starting loadout.

[Anvilfolk]

Yeah, Engi's real tough. I think the only way to make it is drone recovery arm + tons of drones. And they need to be right drones too... it's tough!

Also, the final version has tons more systems! I find myself going round 'n round 'n round, something I couldn't do before! Cool!

What's the max crew size you can get. I'm thinking about getting this for a Star Trekish Rp.

If you buy on their site you go through Humble, so it's part of your Humble listing and has the three OS's. The Steam key also worked ahead of schedule, not that that matters now. So, buy from the FTL website and you get Steam and DRM free versions for Mac/Win/Linux. Sounds like the best option. GOG bonus stuff seemed worthless.

You can have up to 8 crew members at once.

[Simmura McCrea]

I'm bad at this. Even on easy. I managed to unlock the Engi ship on my first game, but haven't done anything of note since.

[Neyvn]

T_T THE FINAL BOSS HAS MULTI FORMS!!! T_T

[Metalax]

Does it have a weak spot you can hit for massive damage as well?

With the first ship that's 3 humans and one each of the 5 other races. Oh how quickly they all die.
