Hello, I started a new FTL youtube series on my channel. I am a new channel (haven't heard that enough times, have you?) and I am inexperienced with FTL. Don't let that stop you from watching my video, my first attempt at playing fails, as I played the tutorial a while ago, then decided to start recording weeks after playing it. So I will add an annotation to skip the first play through where I fail miserably. Please, give me a shot, I'm still learning the game, and any tips on my game playing or recording would be greatly appreciated, even if you don't want to continue watching me play (though it would be preferred if you did!)

Re: FTL Youtube Series
Video: Turn your game sounds down! Like to 20% or less. You talked for about 20 seconds straight while reading the space station text at the end of your first run, and I have no idea what you were saying because the music was so loud.
Game: Spacebar pauses the game. Use it. A lot.
Power up your weapons. They should almost always be powered.
Man stations. Move your crew to one of the rooms that the tooltip states that manning the room helps. Try different rooms to see what happens.
Read tooltips: They tell you how things work (and don't work). For example, beams won't pierce shields.

Re: FTL Youtube Series
Yeah, sorry about the music being so loud, I only realized that when i was re-watching the video. I also replayed the tutorial after recording because like I said I couldn't remember a thing about how to play (probably wan't the best idea to play without knowing how things work.) And thanks for the other tips, everything you said will really help.
