Day Zero Alien Abduction ... *drool*

Okay I have a new goal. I'm not done with FTL after all ...

That's an "if" large enough to fly a Kestrel through. The cavernous weapons room is 4 squares of pure "shoot me". I did beat the Mothership with Dead Again, but that doesn't make the ship suck any less. I will say this: a level 1 shield is like the heavens parting and angels sing...

Won in the Basilisk with a top-notch wrecking crew of 1 Rock, 3 Mantis, 2 Human, and 2 Engi. Unlike on Normal difficulty, the melee guys were practically useless in the final battles, so I just used them for damage control and fire suppression. However, having been blown to pieces before on Hard wit...

That's not actually true: there's a several-second window between when your [level 3] cloak falls and the GB fires. Pretty much all the level-1 weapons have time to fire within that window, although you can usually get a beam shot at least started before the enemy weapons hit you. Beam drones are th...

Silly me, there it is, right at the bottom of the list. It must've unlocked when I finished Dead Again - Sucks Right. I was so excited to try out the crystal ship (an easy win after Dead Again) I completely overlooked the Simo-H. It looks like a real dog all right. Shield drones are nice, but they'r...

I haven't unlocked the Simo-H yet. I'll trade you the shield and anti-drones for a defense drone Mk.2 ... pretty please?

Does that stand for Stuck in My Own Hell? (I actually have no idea what the Simo-H is ... but if it were this ship that's what the letters would stand for.)

The title of this thread is special: I crafted a clever mnemonic to help me remember the name of the most hated ship in all the universe. I finally beat the boss with the dang thing, too. By pure luck I got lots of mantises and rocks to go boarding with plus a scrap recovery arm. Was this ship desig...

Two DD1's are better than one DD2, incidentally. Release them at 180 degrees' separation.

Take the green sectors until you've unlocked the crystal ship, which in practical terms means always take the green. I swear I have the worst luck.

If you have the crystal pod on your ship the last stage happens in a rock sector which is red, but good luck getting that far.
