FTL: Faster Than Light - Games

[QUOTE=The Jack;37702210]Question.. would you pay £6 (or whatever your currency is) to play something off newgrounds,armor games or miniclip?[/QUOTE] ... Yes?

It is amazing how popular this has gotten. 2d rougelike space game by a 2 men team and 17000 players on steam right now and 1 on top sellers since 2 days.

[QUOTE=blazingfly;37702236]Jesus christ the Engi ship is the worst fucking ship ever. [I]MISS MISS MISS MISS MISS MISS MISS MISS[/I] It can barely get past level one shields![/QUOTE] Hit % has nothing to do with what ship you're flying.

Ah yes, the engi ship, where getting boarded is an immediate game over.

Missing can fuck you up regardless of your ship.

[QUOTE=The Jack;37702210]Question.. would you pay £6 (or whatever your currency is) to play something off newgrounds,armor games or miniclip?[/QUOTE] I paid for super meatboy and the binding of issac, so yeah if it's fun it's worth my cash!

[QUOTE=blazingfly;37702236]Jesus christ the Engi ship is the worst fucking ship ever. [I]MISS MISS MISS MISS MISS MISS MISS MISS[/I] It can barely get past level one shields![/QUOTE] What? The Engi ship absolutely wrecks ships with only one shield. Have the ion blaster on autofire on the weapons and the anti-ship drone out, you'll kill them in no time while they can't even fire back.

[QUOTE=latin_geek;37700327]Speaking about this[B] FUCK [/B]being out of fuel all you get is enemy ships (alright since you usually get a bit of fuel by defeating them) or HUE FIVE FUEL FIFTY SCRAP PLS ships. Only once have I been saved by a nice ship, out of five instances of having no fuel or so.[/QUOTE] On my most recent playthrough I ran out of fuel three times in two sectors due to me having terrible luck finding shops, I was really goddamn surprised when I still managed to hit the boss ship. (where I proceeded to roast in drone hell) [editline]17th September 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=blazingfly;37702290]Ah yes, the engi ship, where getting boarded is an immediate game over.

[QUOTE=The Jack;37702097]beam weapons are shit. [/QUOTE] Your opinion is now invalid. Pike Beam is fucking fantastic man what are you on about.

[editline]17th September 2012[/editline] However, when you only have one drone and a pathetic ion weapon that does fuck all, missing pretty much fucks you up.[/QUOTE] The engi is arguably the best ship ingame. Its playstyle of fitting ion weapons and using drones for damage is too ~complicated~ for some people.

There needs to be a improved accuracy with manning weapons, fuck recharge time late game i cant hit shit and they hit me all the time.

Finally beat the damn thing, did it with the Engi ship with 3 ion blasters and 3 attacking drones, try and send drones at me now bitch.

[QUOTE=Cheeseist;37702576]There needs to be a improved accuracy with manning weapons, fuck recharge time late game i cant hit shit and they hit me all the time.[/QUOTE] If they hit you all the time that means your evade is low, and you need a better engine, in order to have a higher hit chance try targeting the enemy engines or pilot seat.

They have raked in probably 350,000 to 400,000 USD. They are going to make a sequel, they literally have unlimited things to expan on.

[QUOTE=Niklas;37702261]It is amazing how popular this has gotten. 2d rougelike space game by a 2 men team and 17000 players on steam right now and 1 on top sellers since 2 days.[/QUOTE] I secretly hope this ends like Minecraft. Basic game, lots of mods and lots of people trying to make a similar game with different features for different people. Maybe someone might hit a jackpot like Terraria did. Isometric spaceship roguelike with tons of updates? I dunno, but I hope someone sees this as an opportunity to make an even better game.

[QUOTE=igamiwarr;37702737]If they hit you all the time that means your evade is low, and you need a better engine, in order to have a higher hit chance try targeting the enemy engines or pilot seat.[/QUOTE] I mean THEY dodge my shots. i always get my engines to at least 30%

[QUOTE=NoDachi;37702574]The engi is arguably the best ship ingame. Its playstyle of fitting ion weapons and using drones for damage is too ~complicated~ for some people.[/QUOTE] The ion blaster does one ion damage and removes one shield block. The attack drone then shoots, misses a few times, and then their shields go back up - maybe I'm missing something, can you tell the attack drone which subsystem to target? Otherwise, I'm having fun with the drone randomly shooting empty rooms. Repeat. Get boarded? Good luck fighting off three humans with a few engi's, especially since you can't really direct them to the medbay.

[I]MISS MISS MISS MISS MISS MISS MISS MISS[/I] It can barely get past level one shields![/QUOTE] You're doing something wrong. First time I beat the flagship was with that ship. Infact. I've beat te flagship more times with that ship alone that all other ships combined.

I do really hope they are making FTL2 as we speak.

You don't need them in the medbay to heal them. Two engis on a ship with nanoheals can fight against three humans no problem man. The first drone and your ion blaster is fine for anyone with one shield, but after that you need either better Ion weaponry or, preferably, more and more powerful drones.

[QUOTE=Mr_Razzums;37702755]They have raked in probably 350,000 to 400,000 USD. They are going to make a sequel, they literally have unlimited things to expan on.[/QUOTE] More like they'll put in DLC and expansions and what not.

It would be nice if we mod in our own equipment/ships/encounters and such

has anyone contacted the devs about modding or whatever? maybe link them to this thread and say "look at all these damn people who want mods and more content"

Died of Dysentery

Basically what this game needs is a shitload of content.

[QUOTE=Mr_Razzums;37702755]They have raked in probably 350,000 to 400,000 USD. They are going to make a sequel, they literally have unlimited things to expan on.[/QUOTE] They shouldn't make a sequel. They should do content patches for this.

[B][MOD] Galaxy is your oyster[/B] [url]http://http://www.ftlgame.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2338[/url] [quote="StealthCl0wn"]This removes a few of the limits on the game. From memory, it disables the rebel fleet, and *everything* is purchasable at a store. However, everything has the same rarity value, so while you might find a burst laser III in a store, you may also find a basic laser I in Sector 7. You can also acquire crystal and slug crew members in a store too. HOWEVER, because of rarity values, the game also becomes much harder. You might come across enemies wielding Glaive Beams and Burst Laser III and some heavy ions too. Mix things up a bit, and adds difficulty where it has been removed.
