Okay, GG, you need to do, and get video of, say... three consecutive runs in each ship, each layout. Except, apparently, Fed Cruiser because that seems to be your bane.

I quite enjoy FTL it's a pretty easy game to pick up and it's not too expensive but anyway there's an FTL lego project that need supporters so if you like FTL and you want to see it made into lego then I'd be cool if you come support it, or not if you don't want to.

I think I am getting close to the point where I am just going to cheat to unlock all the ships. So many of them just feel like busy work if I am not using a guide and others are two tiers of luck.

I wonder if that is possible or if they prevent you from doing so.

I think on their forum you can dl saves with all ships ulocked

A friend of mine is doing a shieldless run of FTL. He's still making videos.

I recently got FTL and am having a blast.

I'm just curious as to why I waited so long to buy it. I knew it was out for ages, I knew it was good, but I never thought about buying it.

This seems impossible. Sure you can make it to final boss, but then you die to infinite beam drones.

[GlyphGryph]

Nah, not really. Blast the drone bay first thing, cloak through the drone swam. Long as you don't get unlucky, the boss shouldn't be much of a challenge. I only ever bought two levels of shield for my last ship, and I think it ate maybe two shots from the final boss (and no beams) thanks to that strategy.

Now, staying lucky consistently enough to get TOO the boss, and remaining ahead of the scrap curve, without a shield to take the the occasionally unlucky hit... it's probably beyond my skill level, anyway.

I want to play FTL 2

I want to play FTL 2

While there are many ways to do a sequel.

I have a feeling FTL's sequel will be the "exactly the same" type.

A sequel would be more graphical effects and a far more complicated way to play the game. Essentially, Dwarf Fortress in space, but with graphics.

Where the heck do you get that from?

I mean I could imagine it getting more complex but not jumping to an entirely different game territory.

[Grendus]

I would actually hope that FTL 2 would be more sandbox, less time-gated-roguelike. My biggest complaint is that the game can be hard to learn, especially the final boss which requires in depth strategies that are tough to develop on the fly like that, and that there's a hard cap on how much you can accomplish in a given game. I'd love it if the next version added a trading simulation on top of it, trying to balance crew size with food, air, cash, scrap, missiles, and fuel.

FTL reminded me why I love indie games so much. The strategy in this game flows naturally - how you deploy your crew, where you spend your scrap, where you focus your firepower, missiles or drones or pulse lasers or beams... it all forms seamlessly into an incredibly layered strategy game that captures the essence of those classic space operas we all loved so much. Way too much fun, and something that indie game devs are more willing to risk than AAA studios.

[Neonivek]

It sounds silly but I kinda want FTL2 to have more of a crew focus then it currently does.

I know it won't mind you... but I just want my crew to feel more like people and beings then tools.

[MrWiggles]

Indy guys dont take 'risks' in the same manner that a Triple A studio does. If an indy game makes a game that EDIT [fails, then it doesnt mean the same thing that it does to a Triple A team.]. Its entirely unfair and almost entirely unrelateable to use risk in the same manner for Indy and Tripple A studio.

Also, Indy Guys, most of them, almost all of them, arent doing anything all that clever or innovative. Their crap curve is about the same as with everyone, but with the added bonus of overall lower production quality.
