Funniest FTL Moment?

Postby Zaffre » Tue Oct 30, 2012 3:40 pm

Mine would have to be on my latest run with the Crystal ship. I had my boarders aboard and beamed them out when the enemies and my crew got on low health. They had low health boarders on my ship, who teleported back. The boarders ran toward the med-bay which meant going through the weapons room. The remaining crew on the enemy ship were repairing the weapons room. I had a heavy shot going toward their weapons room. It hit and killed all four crew in the room, winning the fight.

Two mantis in lvl2 med bay. Enemy is dead, but O2 is damaged and there's no way my mantis can repair it. No more air on the ship. Eventually, I give up trying to think of a way out. They step out of the med-bad and promptly suffocate.
I know this has happened to others...there's a few stories in the story forum about it.

Once I ran into two ships in a row that wanted me to escort them to safety. Both of them had glaive beams. In another game I got 2 Ion blast 2s, a pike beam, and a mantis boarding team. That was probably the most OP thing I have ever seen.

What about all the times it tells you "the ship seems to have been outfitted for transport rather than combat" but then it's the most dangerous ship yet in the run and wipes the floor with you.

i remember having a really intense fight in an asteroid field. my hull's almost gone, so's his. pausing constantly, praying for every shot not to miss. we both get down to 1hp and he finally surrenders. thank god!

i close the loot window. then we simultaneously take asteroids to the face and explode.

In the "stories and storytelling" part of this forum someone posted an image of the gameover screen from his last crewmember dying of lack of oxygen just as he finished off the last stage of the boss.

But if you accepted the surrender, they should instantly have 100% dodge chance :geek: . How could they get hit?

All my crew had died in a fight bar 1 guy who was fixing the engine. I'm yelling at the screen "C'MON!!!! HURRY UP!!!" because I needed him to run to the cockpit to initiate the jump to get the hell out of there. Then an enemy drone lasered him :(

Then I rofl'd
