Hi there, the Dropbox link for this mod seems to have broken, so I've taken the liberty of re-uploading this in case the original author has gone missing. Lamia can let me know if they're going to fix that original link in the OP. .FTL Download Additionally, I am doing a review series of each of the...

Missiles can be useful on gun-ships for hitting enemy weapons or engines (not just shields) - weapons to delay their offense just like the enemy does to your weapons, engines to also greatly assist the rest of your shots landing (minus 10 to 15% evasion can result in 2 or more extra projectiles land...

The Weapon Pre-Igniter doesn't work, but the Automated Reloader does, which can be pretty handy.

Could be that the enemy is intelligent enough to always go for weapons when you have a Flak II (or a Glaive beam) and no means to counter the hacking. Nope, the enemy hacking is random each time. Justin Ma also sort-of confirmed that hacking targetting doesn't change between difficulties (the way t...

The main point about mind controlling an opponent is to buy time during which he won't repair his own ship (or attack your own crew on your own ship), and more energy on mind control won't buy more time. Actually, higher-level mind control does last longer than lower-level (which is why Flagship's ...

Basically the problem with Crystal A is that, since the weapons are slow, the enemy will always get the first shot in sector 1 no matter what. To compensate, it has one of the strongest damage potentials at 4 damage to a 1-shielded ship. This means the weapons remain decently powerful punches at the...

I play quite a lot of the obscure indie game Deadly Rooms of Death , a turn-based tile puzzle game about having a swordsman go kill a bunch of monsters in a dungeon. The monsters have predictable behavior, and everything dies in one hit, so it turns into a puzzle game about manipulating monsters, de...

1) Defensive drones and cloaking go very nicely with the Artillery beam - the former to protect you from hacking and missiles, and the latter to essentially reduce the artillery beam's timer significantly. Defense Drone II especially is nice since it shoots down nearly everything. 2) Asteroid fields...

They already have a place in boarding parties, as an extra party above and beyond your "normal" party. If you can damage the weapons or are otherwise okay with taking them off your ship, Engi can help you win even fights, tank damage so your injured Mantis can continue shooting projectiles...

Just thought of a new one. 86. With regards to level 1 hacking on the shields system: When you do a 1-power hack on enemy shields, it'll only take away 1 shield bubble. When enemies do a 1-power hack on your shields system, it'll take away 2 shield bubbles. I'm pretty sure this isn't actually true (...
