FTL: Faster Than Light - Games

What ship should I make the flagship replace in the end. Agree = Kestrel Disagree = Fed Cruiser Funny = Stealth Cruiser Winner = Mantis Cruiser Zing = Engi Cruiser Informative = Slug Cruiser Friendly = Rock Cruiser Useful = Zoltan Cruiser Optimistic = "Secret" Cruiser

Can someone make a mod that allows me to accept the enemy's surrender but still attack him afterwards

[QUOTE=Jacko245;37711998]Or you have 1 (rather large) ship, and each of you control crewmen?[/QUOTE] I swear I've seen that game somewhere. I don't remember if I actually happened upon it or it was on Greenlight, but I swear I saw that game somewhere. And it was actually 3D, and you controlled your one character and had duties like being the comm officer and such.

[QUOTE=cheesedelux;37709381]Well there's this: [url]http://www.starshipcorporation.com/[/url] It's pretty different from FTL, but oh man.[/QUOTE] Totally downloading the alpha for the shipbuilder right now

[QUOTE=hogofwar;37712175]Maybe you are thinking of this: [url]http://www.artemis.eochu.com/[/url][/QUOTE] No, it wasn't that. I'm pretty sure, anyway. I don't remember what it was called, though. God, this is going to drive me nuts.

I hate getting stuck on one of those sectors and being unable to put out fires as fast as the solar flares can cause them. Typically I just race to get the engine room and bridge clear, then jump out of there with everything on fire. If I meet an enemy ship I'm mega-fucked but it's better than fighting fires forever.

[QUOTE=hogofwar;37711920]Not sure how multiplayer would work.[/QUOTE] I'd love if it was just straight up battles. 1v1. Just remove pausing, and you instantly have a basic multiplayer.

seriously fuck asteroid fields

[QUOTE=Edthefirst;37712463]I'd love if it was just straight up battles. 1v1.

Kinda like Civ End of Turn ready, except without turns.

[QUOTE=latin_geek;37712514]seriously fuck asteroid fields[/QUOTE] I like them because it allows me to concentrate all fire on the enemy shield generators, and the asteroids then fuck it up.

[QUOTE=thomasfn;37711609]Considering rewriting FTL using the original game assets (loaded at runtime from the game files) and adding modding support. The ability to add new ship types and customise the layout/room placement, ability to add new room types, new weapons, new events etc. Also maybe even multiplayer coop. Worth my time or nay?[/QUOTE] You are not a dev, right? Just confirming. If so, how long would it take and how hard would it be and wouldn't it be a bit 'rip-off'ish? [editline]18th September 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=latin_geek;37712514]seriously fuck asteroid fields[/QUOTE] 2 bars of shield and you're fine as long as you keep enemy weapons and shields offline.

God damn, I had the best run of my life. I entered the slug system with the engi ship, and raped since i had two attack drones, ion, and three shields, meaning they never got a single hit on me. When I was about to kill one of them, he said "Stop, please, we will give you everything we have in our storage!" I accepted, and they gave me a [sp]prototype bio-beam, which did four damage to any crew, with 12 sec reload time, and a long ass range, meaning I could two-shot most of their crew if their med-bay was out[/sp], which allowed me to kill next to any ship without sustaining any damage. I am definatly gonna concider letting enemies live more.

Does boarding ships only work if the enemy have a teleporter as well? I just boarded an enemy but could't teleport them back so i had to watch them all burn to death :(

[QUOTE=maqzek;37712589]You are not a dev, right? Just confirming. If so, how long would it take and how hard would it be and wouldn't it be a bit 'rip-off'ish?[/QUOTE] No, I'm not. The idea of a "rip-off" indicates an attempt to create a new game but basically copying some other concept and art style. My idea is just a complete clone but with mod support, so people who already own the game can play an improved version. People would still need to own the original to play my version, so the devs don't lose out on money. It wouldn't be too hard to do, it might take a while though.

i was almost positive i wouldn't like this game, then i said fuck it and tried it out anyway because it's late and i'm bored. i played for over an hour without even realising it how did that just happen

Although I woudn't mind if you sent dev a message about this, maybe he could 'hire' you and this could speed stuff a bit, with more guys working on it. I dunno.

Am I the only one here that has already played 7 hours of this game and still not fought the boss? I got to the boss sector on a ship I managed to lose everyone but the pilot on. I also never seem to get more than two extra crew members during a playthrough, at max. Usually I never end up getting anyone, and I usually only obtain them by attacking slave ships. And buying equipment is just completely out of the question, upgrading the ship and repairing it now and then is expensive as is. Also, holy shit the difference between easy and normal is that on easy you are God, on normal God harasses you.

I love suffocating enemies. It's so cruel and satifsying [t]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/540686988084764530/CCA3C238DAF8F4F6D6B0DF2626C0117A75E6A033/[/t]

[QUOTE=latin_geek;37711071]Is it? I've gotten the usual gains other than getting an extra crewmember when burning slavers.[/QUOTE] Not as much for slavers, but you usually get fuel and more scrap [editline]x[/editline] [QUOTE=NotAName;37713191] 1 crew member, 1 HP.

It'd probably be pretty OP though because boarders without masks would die, breaches wouldn't matter, and fires would never start

Would anyone be up for a livestream of FTL? I've got some free time to kill.

Bam, going to stream FTL [url]http://www.livestream.com/zestylemons[/url] Will start in a few minutes. Going to try and beat the game with the Engi ship.

[QUOTE=rapperkid04;37713913]Just make it so masks make oxygen/life run out at 1/4 speed.[/QUOTE] alternatively make it so that crew members can't run out of air while life support is still operating. so you can vent fires and intruders and then send in repair crews to fix them without having to wait for air

Having a run in a engi ship, skipping most of the dialogue because I can't be fucked to read it. Next thing I know I look up and I suddenly have a new crew mate, even better it's a mantis called Ken. Fucking Ken.
