That's awesome. Are those custom names?
-nevermind, i didn't get the reference and everyone hates me for it-
[QUOTE=ZestyLemons;37760150]What the shit are you doing wrong? I beat the game on the first shot on Easy.[/QUOTE]
I think you missed the point. By a couple of miles.
[QUOTE=joshjet;37760146]That's awesome. Are those custom names?[/QUOTE]
I just type it in at the start. Every time.
You can rename the crew?
[QUOTE=joshjet;37760231]You can rename the crew?[/QUOTE]
Right. But can only name 4. I modded mine a bit to change a few things and start with 9 crew, but it only lets you have 8, and you only seem to be able to rename 4.

Damn, look at those semi-magical engine trails floating behind there.

That is so fucking badass
Sure... I was gonna attempt to make a full mod out of it. The texture's a bit low res and obviously not everything is 100%. But I can upload the files for you.
Optimal weapons layout is pretty much Burst Laser II + III + Pike Beam. 8 shots plus a ship wide laser?
Almost guaranteed win.

Don't feel bad. I was like that too, but then I got lucky on one play through.

I unlocked the Engi Cruiser and Federation Cruiser in that game.
Ion Beam + Fire Beam + Anti Ship drone was letting me rape as the Engi ship. However a bunch of pesky zoltans beamed 4 zoltans on my ship and royally fucked me up, killing my engine guy and destroying a bunch of my systems from the inside.

you are missing the point
[QUOTE=The Jack;37754759]I think that if the devs spent an hour or so making New ships,layouts and characters, we'd have about twice as many as everything.
Although i think that the most important thing the game needs is Multiple ship battles.[/QUOTE]
Why are people rating this guy dumb, he's right. Maybe an hour is a stretch, but he's right.
Also this game is too fucking addicting.
"Just another sector"
Next thing I know it's fucking 3am. I missed my chance at getting the mantis ship TWICE today, I unlocked the stealth ship, which is crazy but who the hell though it would be a good idea to design a COMBAT SHIP without shields?
That said, I bought em.

[QUOTE=Lijitsu;37759425]Losing is only fun when you learn something from the experience. That's the problem with the 'losing is fun' argument. Sometimes you just lose for no reason and there's nothing to be learned. That's not fun, that's infuriating.[/QUOTE]
Except "losing is fun" is an attitude, not an opinion or a statement. People who play roguelikes can adapt to this attitude, and understand that even though the reason for them losing might have been unfair, and the fact that they came really far before brutal beatdown, just makes them realise they're going through the fun to play the game from the start again. Losing isn't fun because you're losing, losing is fun because you know you can handle losing without giving up
[QUOTE=HeavyGuy;37759167]All this game does is fuck me over. I finally get a good sector layout, literally civilian sectors all the way to Sector 8 and I instantly get boarded in front of a star.
Fuck you FTL stop fucking me totally.
It also told me losing is part of the fun.
It's not when I can't get past sector 2 anymore because of one cunt with the fastest rocket launcher in existence.[/QUOTE]
Hostile sectors Only have slightly more Enemy ships.
I made it to The Final Stand with literally only ship upgrades and the only addition to the Kestrel being Burst Laser Mk 1 (obviously of course I had 8 crew members). Beat the first stage of the flagship and died to a rebel ship after trying to go repair (didn't notice the blinking red). Sad day.
Oh gawd. I just had a stalemate with the flagship.
I took out all it's weapons (with my acclaimed mantis death squad) But my best Laser weapon was Heavy 2 (which fires but two bolts) and i was out of missiles!!
So we just stared eachother down for a bit. Then i left to get ammo and he got to the base.
[QUOTE=cccino;37757251]I like the way after 20 hours my first game is still my top score.[/QUOTE]
This is exactly what happened to me. On my first game, when I had no clue how to do anything and didn't know what weaponry/tech I should have, I managed to almost kill two stages of the flagship. After that, I've barely killed the first stage.
[QUOTE=EcksDee;37759180]Losing is fun though.
Like Dorf Fort. The road to failure, even when nearly instantaneous, is great.[/QUOTE]
Except in Dorf Fort losing usually occurs in a hilarious way
In FTL its just the game deciding to throw the most rediclous bullshit at you

It only pisses me off sometimes because it's entirely a luck game; even with skill or the careful selection you've done for your ship there's usually nothing you can do about how the game sometimes decides to fuck with you.

If you've been playing the game for hours on end, ofc that's how it's going to look. The beauty of FTL is in how chaotic and random it is.
[editline]22nd September 2012[/editline]
now that said, what IS absolutely infuriating is losing purely because a few of your shots missed and the enemy ship makes it out from the brink of annihilation.
Argh, not again - got to the 2nd stage of the final boss fight in layout B of the federation cruiser. Probably would've won if I didn't run out of missiles :(

It's not just what it's throwing at you, but the fact that it's random (DF is random too, but a lot less so) in a way you can't prepare for. In DF, you can train more soldiers, build more traps, or even just wall yourself in to survive attacks. In FTL, if the game decides to give you crappy dice rolls, you're screwed no matter what you've done to prepare. On the other hand, the same can happen to your enemies, so it's not all bad.
stealth weaponry equipped cloaking drone with 2 extremely fast charging scatter lasers that seem to have 80% fire chance and a heavy missile set to teleport out and alert the rebel fleet [B]GG[/B]
[editline]22nd September 2012[/editline]
I swear the first few runs you do in this game just give you the best dicerolls on random events and encounters. I've still not beaten my top 3 and first 3 runs in this game.

Every time I lose, I instantly think of this scene...
[editline]22nd September 2012[/editline]
(skip to 0:51)
Burst Laser Mk3 + Weapon pre-loader augmentation...
Everything dies.
And, on top of that, the bottom path on my sector map is all green.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's what they did. That's what I would do if I had a game like this.
