FTL - Faster than Light, Space Rogue - ( INDIE )

First time I reached the boss I got beaten soundly by the drone section (and also the second time). Since then I've tried two or three different strategies and they all seem to work ok.

I also don't get the feeling that it is based on luck. Assuming you plot a course through a section to take in as much as you can, you will mostly always come across the stuff you need (cloaking, transporter, ion weapons etc).
 
I just need more of it now! Feel like I've played it to death.

As I've said, something like this crossed with Elite-style freedom and progress would have me quitting my job.

I played this game today, it's a lot of fun. I keep getting owned by some kind of bug things coming aboard my ship and unleashing hell upon my crew.

Same here, has happened 5 of my last 6 games (the other I got destroyed by a ship that set fire to 4 of my rooms in a few seconds).

It's a cool game but the actual skill involved seems quite low compared to the reliance on luck to get decent weapons/upgrades early on. Either that or I'm missing something!
 
Picked this up today. I do quite well until I get boarded. Then it all goes to pot. 4 aliens onboard my vessel can take systems down in seconds and I'm left floundering with no real way of stopping them. :(

open air locks tend to stop most things given enough time... thats what they are their for :)
failig that grab your crew and use gorilla tactics and heal them in your med bay if things get to bad.

stonger blast doors, upgraded oxygen and/or faster med bay would all help in one regard or another.
 
Ooh, I never thought to deprive them of oxygen. LOL. My only tactic so far has been to let the enemy trounce the ship and fight them in the medbay.
 
Help! FTL ingame pause menu!

Hey guys,

Real quick one, my screen position in FTL is messed up, can someone screen shot or tell me how many down is the save option?

Can't see it as the image is floating off my screen.

Thanks
 
Got this recently on steam. Wow its addictive, and super fun. There's quite a lot of relying on luck, but then again I've clocked in about 50 hours on binding of Isaac, I enjoy the roguelike aspect.

Still not got to sector 8 yet, though I've unlocked a couple more ships to play around with. Possibly one of my favourite games of the year this.

Tbh I thought it relied on luck, but it turns out its a lot more about strategy! (Which im terrible at):(:p
 
I have managed to make it to the last sector several times but get trounced pretty easily. I'm not doing too well finding all the other ships, either. I've got the Engi vessel A+B but that's it! There are plenty more to find.
