The final boss is fucking cheap.
Took out its first form and when I caught up to it for round two, it tore me apart with a horde of drones that exploited just about every upgrade and item of equipment I didn't take.
I did some writing about this game GOREADIT

Just buy it from their site direct - it's cheaper for almost everyone, (same price for Americans) you get a DRM-free download instantly, and they still give you a Steam key for when you get your account back.

This is amazing fun
[QUOTE=Orkel;37676280]Had an almost fully pimped out Engi type A ship but was unable to even scratch the final boss because I got unlucky in finding any good weapons throughout the game. Its shields absorbed everything I threw at it. My ship lasted for quite a while though[/QUOTE]
Ion weapons + anti-ship drones.
You'll cake anything. I was so close to defeating his last stage until a boarding party managed to drop my shields.
Guys help how the fuck are you even getting to the final boss
If honestly, I was hoping for something longer.
Each play session only lasts a couple of hours until you end at the boss or die.
the final stage of the boss is hard as shit
[QUOTE=mastfire;37679106]the final stage of the boss is hard as shit[/QUOTE]
missiles and boarding crews errywhere
This game has no business being this fun, I panic at my crew getting killed or at systems taking direct hits, that feeling when one-hit-disable on the O2 systems.
Is there anyway to change resolution, though?

It's a pixel-drawn game. It's only made in one resolution as a result. Any scaling (that isn't by the power of 2 will make it look like shit).
And the crew is pretty small in size so you can't really downsize it without ruining it, and the next upscale would require a screen with a resolution of 2560x1440.
Thus it gives you the option to fullscreen with blackborders to fill in that space, or make it blurry by just upscaling it unproportionally.
[editline]Fake Edit[/editline]
Gues, you can't actually disagree with this. I'm stating objective facts about the limitations of the graphics and choice of solution the developers have made. Adjusting the placement of the HUD and showing more background is a solution to work around it with bigger resolutions, yes, but that doesn't adjust the resolution of the game, nor does it show more than it already does with black borders.
[QUOTE=Amiga OS;37679475]You can still raise the resolution, just have the ship centred and the HUD elements fixed in their respective corners.[/QUOTE]
Well yeah, but then the HUD would more spread causing it to be more annoying to work with since the buttons doesn't scale.
You would also just replace the black borders with boring imagery that doesn't help in any way. Essentially no real difference.
[QUOTE=Amiga OS;37679557]It would make the graphics a lot more sharp though, It doesn't look too great on a 1080p display.[/QUOTE]
Use black borders instead. Keeps it sharp and it's not like that black space would be filled with anything useful in the first place.
I agree that it would be nice with a proper 1080p resolution for the game though, don't get me wrong.
Love this game and all but I can't help but feel it could be so much more.
Has it been confirmed that the devs will indeed be expanding it?
I wished there was the option to have a lot more crew members, a way to have massive boarding parties.
That feeling when you destroy an enemy ship the moment he destroys yours.
piece of shit, my oxy reached zero with all crewmembers in the medbay, stuck with 4-10 health each, no way of fixing the thing.
always upgrade your medbay kids
I made it to the final boss on my first try but holy fuck how the hell are you guys even getting past his first stage, it's like trying to clean a monster truck with just a toothbrush god damn
Mantis people fuck my shit up.
Someone should make a proper FTL megathread
[QUOTE=ryfry99;37680510]Mantis people fuck my shit up.[/QUOTE]
They're ok if they just beam over two people in your ship, and get to your medbay.
But if they destroy all your shit before targeting the medbay, or send over 4 of those motherfuckers...
Well, you're shitfaced.

I think I had trouble because I had too many crew members and they jacked one up while I was distracted firing my missiles. Also I had 3 guys storm my ship in a random encounter and they wrecked my whole ship before I could kill them. It was pretty scary.
[QUOTE=latin_geek;37680702]Someone should make a proper FTL megathread[/QUOTE]
Yeah... I thought about doing it, but I'd prefer someone else to. :v:
I love this game so much.
I wonder if you'll ever be able to create your own ship.
That would make the game even more awesome.

I want a start trek-esque free mode as well as the ability to create custom ships, now that would be the cherry on top that this game imo currently needs.

If I don't get my account back after the 10% off ends then I guess I'll just buy it off there.
A multiplayer minigame would be nice, only allowing ships that survived the final boss or something.
Everything is going great, then suddenly all of your shit gets trashed in one battle
Every time
[QUOTE=smurfy;37681358]Everything is going great, then suddenly all of your shit gets trashed in one battle

See I thought it'd be great to go around in a ship called the Normandy SR1 with a crew consisting of Kaidan, Ashley and Jeff.
It was all going well until a Mantis or whatever went batshit inside my ship when I was trying to sell it to pirates or something like that and ruined my hull.
Next battle enemy ship ruins my shields and a little combat drone zapped my hull into pieces.
I'm never going to name my things after Mass Effect ever again.
