[QUOTE=Oathness;37683950]Just finished a normal game. The first two fights with the flagship were relatively easy, but I only just got out of the final battle. With only a single point of hull health, and half of my crew dead, and the rest of the crew on fire.

This game is fucking amazing.[/QUOTE]
wait there's a total of 3 fights with it? what is after the impossible as fuck drone thing
GAEM IS HARD :(
Great fun, and it's great for my laptop. Just wish there were cloud saves so I didn't have to manually transfer the saves when I switch between them, but still not a big problem.

The ship loses another of its big weapons, and starts using its teleporter + a new weapon that sends a barrage of missiles/energy things/i didnt get a good look at them. That barrage weapon is what nearly beat me, 'cause I don't think you can turn it off with ion weapons.
I found using dual ion weapons to be the best way to get through it. The short reload time makes it easy to keep vital systems completely disabled (which is how i got through the drone stage). Although you do have to spend a fair amount on weapons systems, since those ion blasts are three energy a thing.
I also got a hull repair drone through complete luck.
Pretty sure that thing saved my life dozens of times.
im also amazed at how much money you must have had. and doesn't normal give less money than easy?

You get a surprising amount of scrap from battles in the later sectors. I got at least 200-250 from about three battles in sector 8 alone.
How am I supposed to play with NO SHIELDS on my ship. Even sector one is harrrrd

I had the most amazing run ever only to be faced with this shit
If only enemy shots didn't exist after they died :(
[QUOTE=Oathness;37684108]I also got a hull repair drone through complete luck.

Repairs your hull for 3-5 points every time you use it. Takes one drone part each time.
I keep getting to sector 5, then dying. :(
Well, made it to sector 5 so far without any shields

7 now. I can now cloak longer than it takes to charge FTL
[editline]16th September 2012[/editline]
last Stand... How did I get this far without shields what the fuck, I could barely make it past sector 5 last time
How the fuck are you guys getting so far?
My highest was the kestrel sector 6... on easy.

How am I doing?
Accidentally doubled clicked the 'open all doors' button and I think one of my crewmen got sucked out into the vacuum of space.
I'd like this more if there was like an open world mode and if when stuff takes damage it could cause a hull breach and people would be sucked out rather than just a really slow status effect.
Awesome, just beat it with the Kestrel.
... on easy. But whatever, a win's a win.
And yeah, an open-ended game mode would be awesome.

You've picked a [I]very[/I] bad build. Millions of basic lasers = dead.

I stuck with it and so far, this is my best run yet.
About to enter sector 8 with nearly full health.

Oh god, oh man.

maybe if you had to stack two hull breaches in a single room I could see that happening, immediately sucking everyone in the room into space.
I'd like to see a multiplayer mode and consumables (emergency air masks, expensive emergency instant repair, ludicrously expensive emergency jump) and maybe something that overcharged a system by rerouting a ton of power to it, but damaged it in the process.
Basically I want more. More features, more ships, more random encounters.
How do you get more ships?
I died, didn't even do one damage I don't think :v:.

At least I unlocked that achievement.
God damn. I was doing fine, made it to sector 4 and managed to get a crew of 7, upgraded my shields and replaced my rocket with a powerful laser. Also had the instant charge augg and the charge boost aaug, letting me shoot a lot, making up for the weakness to shields.
Then the Mantis came. They beamed aboard, killed 5 of the crew and set EVERY room on fire. I managed to kill the fires by draining all the air out of the ship and keeping my last 2 crew members in the med bay. Then I jumped to the next system and set about repairing the ship. It was a mess, my hull was wrecked, hull breaches everywhere.
We survived though and Amy and Rory set off, they still had a mission to complete. To my amazment I managed to get to sector 7 and grew the crew back to 5, I had 200 scrap and 15 fuel. I was going to make it! And the mantis men came again. There were no survivors.
Travelling that nebula with only 2 crew members was such a lonely feeling.
I want to unlock that Federation cruiser that you get for beating the boss, but I can't do it. My cloaking cruiser just doesn't have the survivability. It can shoot two lasers, then 3 from the second gun for 5 shots. That should knock shields out if they all hit AND do damage to a subsystem, and I have a beam weapon to use once shields are down that can hit and knock out 3 subsystems. But that damn Flag Ship is just brutal
FTL v1 mantises are cunts
PANIC MODE ACTIVATED

Well it doesn't matter anymore though.

Seems like the engi cruiser's layout makes it harder to oxygen deprive intruders
I really wish you could design your own ships. Ora t least your own layouts. Other than that, it's a great game.

That's be cool, but you can see how it would cause issues.
there should be a sandbox mode, where there is no rebel fleet advancing towards you, so you can explore at your leisure.

Eh, that's a hell of a lot of effort to unlock those ships... Should I just go onto easy mode to get them in about 2 minutes?
