I think I should grab sensors 3 and survey a bunch of the ships. I wear they always have more weapons and more shields than me.
[QUOTE=Mbbird;37776533]First sector, first place I visit. Drone "disables" my shields in a random event by gimping it by 1 power level. Except this drone is more heavily kitted out than any drone I've ever seen in even the 3rd sector. [t]http://puu.sh/17ZRv[/t] FTL, pls go.[/QUOTE] dude, tell me about it. i had to fight a drone that had a missile launcher, a burst laser and some hull laser and this motherfucker in like the second-third sector. all of my rooms were on fire and all i could do was shoot him with the kestrel's burst lasers, but oh wait. that's not all. HE HAD THREE SHIELDS

I must be doing something horribly wrong... I can't get past sector 3 on Normal.

I like it when they've got an anti ship drone that just keeps whittling down your shields and you can't stop it *Pew Pew Pew* Fuck go- Seriousl- STOP I MEAN I- OH GODDAMNIT SOMEONE KILL THAT FUCKING DRONE ROOM
Speaking of drones, it kind of feels like cheating using a drone recovery arm and three anti-ship drones.
holy christ the second form of the rebel flagship really is bullshit 8 drones attacking you at the same time, plus another 3 weapons. i couldn't even get past the shield because i had only one missile left. rip 'bread', the bravest spaceship ever
I just got fucked over by the second form Jesus
[t]http://puu.sh/188o6[/t] Second battle of first sector. Piece of shit ship with 1 weapon and 1 drone drops the glaive beam. IM OKAY WITH THIS [editline]atp[/editline] BY THE LAW OF FTL OF COURSE THE NEXT SECTOR A SHIP WITH TWO ION BLASTERS, A DRONE, AND TWO SHIELDS WOULD SPAWN AND BRING ME TO 1 HEALTH. AND AGAIN BY THE LAW OF FTL THERE WOULD NOT BE A SHOP IN THE AREA TO REPAIR ME BACK TO 100% TO GET THAT GOD DAMN ACHIEVEMENT. AND [B]GOD FORBID[/B] THERE BE AN EMPTY SECTOR WITH NOTHING TO FIRE AT ME IN LIKE WHAT HALF OF THE LAST SECTOR CONSISTED OF.
RIP Joker you were the best pilot :'( [img]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/541813398741476181/818BF3B9CC491C9C5187349CA9AF9651312113CE/[/img] This game is so addicting.
nice creativity with crew/ship names there
i like mass effect
Can you rename crew members you pick up on the way?
[QUOTE=Chilean_Wolf;37781560]i like mass effect[/QUOTE] so do I

mfw I keep blowing up enemy ships with my guys still on them
[QUOTE=WhatAmI;37781872]mfw I keep blowing up enemy ships with my guys still on them[/QUOTE] When i first used a teleporter with bording partys i assumed that it auto teleports them back since thats what enemy ships always did when they were next to no hp.

Only noticed too late the lack of oxygen...

Fuck fucking goddamn mother fucking mantis ships I made it all the way to the end of sector 4, had a crew of 5 and a well kitted ship. And then I met a goddamn mantis scout. They teleported in 2 boarders, who butcher 3 of my crew, all the while pounding my systems with lasers. By the time I had killed them I was down to 2 people, with my O2 disabled and dropping. I lost the second mate to fix it. So that left Captain Morgan to frantically run between the shields and weapons rooms to make half-assed repairs in a desperate bid to survive. It didn't work :C
I just reached flagship with vanilla Kestrel. No new additions, two shields, artemis missile and Burst laser II. Got it down to second stage, but after that I died.
Darn, I went with a full defence build, but in the last zone every fight was a stale mate. They couldn't hurt me, I couldn't hurt them. I gave up after 30 minutes of trying to disable some enemy shields. :v:
Oh god, when you don't think a weapon will do as much damage as it does, you blow up the ship...with half your crew still on board...I'm left with 1 crew member...This is about to get interesting.
Mantis, slug and stealth ships have fucking whack achievements.
not sure if this was posted here yet [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9V_mUnYb928[/media]
I once got my teleporter ioned by an enemy that blew up moments later. RIP mantis-men.
[QUOTE=The Jack;37784778]Mantis, slug and stealth ships have fucking whack achievements.[/QUOTE] The slug ones are so easy, what are you talking about. (I got 2 for the next layout on my first or second run with it (the kill 3 people and the 30 nebulas))
[img]http://i.imgur.com/WghkX.png[/img] VICTORY IS MINE! Found two Burst lasers Mk.3, plus level 4 on ship artillery, I didn't repair once between all three forms of the flagship.
