You need 4 shields and a teleporter to win this game. The latter can be compromised if you have particularly good guns (and lots of them) but I so far haven't been as lucky as to win without 4 shields and a teleport. Without shields you simply can't win since no matter how fast you act the enemy wil...

FTL is an old-school game. One should keep that in mind when playing this.

My thoughts as well.

There's a mod that disables the fleet. That effectively means free-roam though be careful not to run out of fuel!

P.S. Welcome to the forums and have fun with the game

If FTL gets a sequel or an expansion, the bonus track could be its main theme.

I despise DLC, but I do buy them if they are worth the price tag. For a game that I play on a regular basis I usually buy major campaign DLC but leave out the small aesthetic stuff - there usually are mods that do the same. One can hope that the trend would die some day, but it's not going to happen...

Very cool update, especially like that O2 stripe thing. It was so hard to tell when it was safe to send folks in.

This game needs a Pacifist run

Right, I messed up the two.

Try different ships, try to get all the achievements, try different strategies (boarding/beams/drones) and try some mods.
