FTL: the game

[billycop32]

anyone else here play FTL? I just got done with a round of it and dispite winning against the mothership in several previous games, she kicked my ***.
hack module to my oxygen,activates it
as soon as it is done being active, missile to oxygen,destroying it and setting the room on fire

In two effective moves, the flagship crippled by ship beyond hope and won. owwwwwwwwww

I do!

30+ games and I never once won against the flagship...

Ironically. The one that almost took it down was a ship called "SS. ShortLifeSpan"

I played a lot but not since the DLC

[Shinzy]

A ton of times! even made very rough quick sketches of my crew and all the stats and so for most (like 34?) of the journeys.. Some of them cut off very short

unlocked most of the ships and good bunch of the achievments
Here's some of my most favourite ones that I could fit in the scanner

I've defeated the flagship three times I think
Oh and out of the games in the link the SS Gravitypunch was probably most fun to play =P had the ship on autopilot most of the time while the entire crew beamed in and dished out some hard justice (I absolutely love the boarding squad tactics)

Also recommend doodling your crew (Looking at you annie!) =P it gave me so much more for the game to enjoy

I sadly don't get too attached to my characters due to how often they're consumed by space spiders but I think I'll do that when I go for another playthrough.

I once beat FTL, but only after 307 tries, and okay, I exploited the ruwen glitch

But here it is!

(I had to shrink it and lower the res for it to fit  )

ok so if you want to really beat the flagship, here is what you need to beat the first flagship(i'm gonna tell you how to beat the others, cause that would ruin the game)
transporter
hack
at least 2 good boarding crew (4 is ideal)
all major system assigned a specialist(pilot,engines,sheilds,weapons.)
all major systems upgraded as much as possible(includes oxygen)
a good weapon loadout that you are comfortable with and can beat level 4 sheilds(a beam weapon and 2 burst type weapons work wonders)

when you come up against the first flagship, send in the first 2 boarding team to the middle right weapon room(this is the missile room, the most dangerous one) they will do their thing and eventually take it down, taking down the biggest threat. rinse and repeat with outer left, then the other rooms as you please.

if your weapons are having trouble getting the enemy shields down after this point, feel free to assign your pilot and engine specialist to the boarding crew so there are 4 members, and beam them into any 4 tile room that is NOT the shield room. the resulting redeployment of enemy crew will likely remove the shield specialist and buy your weapons more leeway. just be sure to target the shield room! consistent damage there will net you more wiggle room.

I remember it being pretty easy if you are able to unlock the crystal ship since you can freeze a rooms doors shut

Ah, boarding crews. I rarely encounter the teleporter module in shops so I focus more on stealth, shields and burst weaponry. I'll try that.
Also I did manage to beat the first part of the Flagship. I thought I won and was celebrating. The second part absolutely rekt me.

Bombs that bypass shields and cause fires, breeches and one laser weapon of some kind for when the shields go down.

Also, im just in the first stages of making my own game thats like FTL merged with Dwarf Fortress.

I found the flagship easiest with the engi ship, the one that gives you the ion burst gun at start

What language are you using?

Love the game. My favourite combo is hacking enemy shields and following with double Pike (?) beams.
