I don't understand why you say it would be 10 jumps max? Seems like it would take plenty of jumps to find a bunch of alien artifacts. I think it would be a cool way to make the same game feel different if it had the same basic mechanics for your ship but instead of running from the rebels you're giv...

maybe in every sector a flagship? in engi homeworlds: the torus, rebel sector: red tail, mantis homewords: gila monster, civilian sector: the kestrel, etc? I don't know about using the playable ships as flagships, but if there were a flagship per homeworld maybe a reward for beating them could be u...

I guess I'll throw my hat in the ring here too. I don't know how easy it would be to play on a phone/tablet. Seems like clicking is far less precise on such small screens, but I guess with the use of pause you'd get it right eventually. That being said I'd buy it again to be able to play FTL while I...

It's not really possible to say what went wrong on your run. We'd need a lot more detail to give a good analysis. Now to kind of answer your question about instant death, it does happen from time to time. The reason why is that a lot of the decisions we make in the game have a risk to reward ratio t...

I'm hoping that they make some more t-shirts. I'd love to see more options.

Seems like the most difficult part of the challenge is just finding the weapons. I know that I've run ships with ion and beam combinations and they're super easy to win with. I especially liked ion weapons plus the fire beam. Use the ion weapons to get the shields down and then watch the enemy crew ...

Yikes that would be tough to handle considering they'd be teleporting 8 crew or all 12 onto your ship fairly quickly. Level 2 fighting skill mantis are nothing to laugh at either. I think you'd end up venting the whole ship except the medbay and running crew back and forth to keep them all healed. T...

I love zoltan crewmen because I always end up with maxed reactor energy by the end of the game. So, the only way to power more systems is to have zoltan crewmen.

the hull was not breeched (not even close) I'm curious what you mean by not even close. Are you thinking about the hull damage meter at the top, because you can have full hull at the top and still have a hull breach. The hull breaches are damage in rooms that you see by looking at your ship's layou...

I never try to fight the spiders. It seems like even when you succeed the reward is small. I either leave them to their fate or use a blue option if available.
