FTL: Faster Than Light

My formula for crew death is generally:

1. Ion cannon their weapons constantly to avoid counter-attack.
2. Firebomb the O2 and Medbay alternatingly

I've never seen or used an anti-bio weapon. Never in any playthrough.

It's a default weapon on Slug Ship A.

Dromaro

I think it's the slug ship B base weapon? I could be off but I'm fairly sure it's some ships standard compliment.

Dromaro

Yeah. I tried my hand at the new species' ship and I can confirm I really don't like the Clone Bay. I can see some novel uses, but for my play style, Med Bay is just superior.

Also; a pair of boarders of the new race? Ridiculous. You can beat down a pair of *mantis*.

Neito

Clone Bay is usually useful for a boarding strategy, or if you're like me and like to do events that have a risk of losing a crew member.

Once you learn a few things about FTL, it's not so hard, but you can have really bad runs.

Rym

Advanced mode is fucking amazing.

I'm going to have to play this again some time soon.

Not sure why, but watching that video got me to finally play the game. It was pretty fun. I had a brain fart when I got to sector 4 and didn't realize that my oxygen was off, thinking that it should've been fine because the room was normal, and my whole crew got killed off for effectively no reason. I'll make sure to not have that happen again.

Luke Burrage

Soon came soon. Stayed up until about 4am re-learning all the tricks and discovering new things.

I played this on the train today, and was so absorbed in the final battle that I missed my stop. How annoying.

Rym

I always pause the game before the final battle and take stock of my current life situation. Will I have time to ENTIRELY complete that fight?

I've missed conference calls before...
