I just figured he had false teeth and took them out and put them in the sink to wash them. :hmmm:

Bit too close for comfort... Not the first time the artillery beam saves my behind.

Still haven't gotten anywhere apart from getting the Stealth ship last night,
which is very fun ship to play. :yep:

Teehee, that last "boss" has isolated weapon compartments.

1. get teleporter
2. beam crew in one of them
3. profit

Takes a bit for a boarding party to destroy the weapon, but apart from the one crew member manning the station there's nothing to stop you.

Just got this game and I can only imagine a WWII sub game based on that general concept :ping:

Make a mod:03:.


Not going to get this any time soon, Dwarf Fortress+Tekkit and Hearts of Iron 3 are time-sinks enough for me, I don't dare add another one:-?:O:.

:hmmm: Perfectly possible. The game is wide open, if a little code biased (I hate xml), but all resources are accessible as is the event coding.

Just unpacked the resource.dat and data.dat file to check, it's all there and the ability to create and alter compartments is easy enough.

Been toying with the idea of making the Minbari White Star from Babylon 5. :yep:

FTL: The Fatal Frontier:

:haha:

Bumb because the thread exists. How is everyone doing with this after a few months?

I got this a few days ago too and so far it feels pretty awesome. I've been playing only on normal because I feel like being a masochist. It sure depends a lot on luck (First jump => Nebula => Boarding party => You die), but I'm slowly improving my survival strategy.

I have concentrated on shields lately, purchased the teleporter early and by luck received some Rock and Mantis crew members from events. Boarding feels pretty powerful, seeing all the cool stuff you can get. And with a decent crew, most races can't put up a fight even against two man team.

But the /(&%& missiles get me all the time. :stare:
Say what you like, I think it's a little overpowered that even the basic variant missiles (which every single fool in the universe has) can simply ignore my well upgraded shields and the AI can pummel away with its infinite supplies until it has destroyed all my systems. Will have to invest in evasion in the future. Drones seem to be very expensive and again very much based on luck.

So far I've only gotten to around sector 5. Then I simply can't keep up anymore. I can't find enough good weapons to pierce the AI shields anymore and the boarders aren't fast enough to prevent damage. Which is then carried on to the next battle. And next. And next. And then boom. It seems every single ship in the universe wants to kill me. Missiles help with the shields, but again: battle after battle, less and less to spend.

Marvelous little game nonetheless. I haven't even so far really tried to finish it but rather unlock different ships. With poor results, but still.

Steam sale for FTL this weekend. Only 5.99 USD. Well worth the money.

You can get the Starship Enterprise for FTL-
