FTL: Faster Than Light - Games

I feel like 50% of the time when I get a new crew member the next random event involves losing a crew member. Fuck.

Oh, and my one slug, Bryan, survived from the beginning, at one point, his two crewmates died, he patched up every hole in the hull, repaired a few subsystems, then fought off a Mantis ship, choked off the boarding party, then single-handled wiped out the ship, with no one manning the shields or engines (Auto-pilot saved my ass there, since he had max weapons skill.). We repaired, and he made it a sector and a half without getting another crew member, our mantis Jones, pilot, and leader of the defense whenever boarders arrived in the western half of the ship, was a great run over all, had me on the edge of my seat towards the end.

I think I'm really bad at this, I died a couple of chapters in and even if I had won the battle I would have been stranded because I didn't have any fuel left. I think I need to start planning ahead next time.

He's obviously best equipped!

I get a chuckle whenever I get to the end and realise none of my original crew are still alive(I'm pretty fucking careless). "Why are you here?" "Wow uh fuck if I know"

[QUOTE=Chilean_Wolf;37781523]RIP Joker you were the best pilot :'( [img]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/541813398741476181/818BF3B9CC491C9C5187349CA9AF9651312113CE/[/img] This game is so addicting.[/QUOTE] The original Normandy has the best score. Like it should.

Level 2 just feels really low, it'd be nice if they could get up to at least level 5, so that not everyone would be maxed level by the time you're halfway through the game.

So I really never experienced everyone's anger about solar flares until one wiped out all my crew save a mantis. Did I mention everything was at this point on fire and half of my subsystems were destroyed? Yea. This is the worst thing.

I did manage to eventually put the blaze out and throw out some hull drones, but not before it had burned its way through teleporting, weapons, and security.

this game is just awful and i cannot stop playing it [editline]24th September 2012[/editline] fucking makes me hate it EVERY time i play it.

[QUOTE=GeneralSpecific;37791807]You know you could open the rear airlocks as well, right?[/QUOTE] Door controls are broken (and on fire)

Oh. I didn't notice that. Sorry.

[QUOTE=GeneralSpecific;37791807]You know you could open the rear airlocks as well, right?[/QUOTE] What to you think I had the bot trying to fix? Stupid thing never pulls its weight around the ship, and the one time it has to shine it goes and catches it's server on fire.

I had absolutely no problem with the drones on stage 2, I had my shields on the highest level and that was that. The thing that killed me were a few too many rockets when i couldn't repair before Stage 3...

I really don't know how to deal with it.

That feel when you beat the game for the first time.

[T]http://puu.sh/18sVS[/T] I almost feel bad for that guy.

I watched an LP of Northernlion, this game seems like a shitton of fun. Might grab it tonight. Hopefully it won't be to boring after a few hours, mostly such games get repetitive so fastly.

How can you people (at least some of you) get mad while playing this game? It's just a survival game with a slight chance of defeating the flag ship. Dying is awesome in FTL, you feel all epic and shit, like in a movie where every one dies at the end.

I don't get mad every time I'm defeated, just when I get defeated because something just fucks me up out of the blue.

Woo, finally beat the flagship for the fist time. It was a massive slugfest because he send in an army of invaders that raided my shields instantly. They tried to take out my crew but it took them too long to breach all the reinforced doors. They all died due to lack of oxygen because I opened up the airlocks in the ship. :v: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/fjPfy.png[/IMG]
