[Spoiler]A Little Help with Crystal Cruiser

Postby ValentineVxx » Fri May 02, 2014 4:54 pm

Hello, i just created this post for those people who got tired of hunting for Crystal event chain or beating the game with every ship design :mrgreen:

Well before i start, i should mention i played FTL when it was in version 1.0.5, but i started playing again when i realized all the new content in AE :lol:
But, for some reason, i wanted to start all over, resetting my profile :!: just to remember after how annoying was to get the Crystal Cruiser :?

But, Luckily, yesterday i was able to get the stasis pod and the diamond crewmember in the first 2 sectors :shock:
So i continued playing, and i found the rock homeworlds :o

So, i want to share you my savefile, but it won't be that easy:

-Ship is Rock Cruiser A (with only Rock Plate Augment, sold the Long Scanners :twisted: )
-Remaining Hull: 3 points (sorry about that, hard a bad time with shops and finding better weapons)
-Weapons: Artemis, Hull Missile, Hull Laser I (told you, bad weapons :cry: )
-Only 14 missiles left

But the ship comes with 1 Engi, 5 Rockmen and the Diamond crew of course
138 Scrap
The game is set in AE mode by the way

A strategy would be either find a shop ASAP or use the remaining missiles to take out weapondry in enemy ship and then boarding to secure it, anyways good luck!

Note: the continue file goes in your savedata folder, depending your OS:
Windows: %USERPROFILE%/My Documents/My Games/FasterThanLight

Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/FasterThanLight/

Linux: ~/.local/share/FasterThanLight/ or $XDG_DATA_HOME/FasterThanLight

Information provided by FTLwiki~


This savefile will provide you with Ancestry achievement along with the Crystal Cruiser (just follow the quest markers)

While nice, the Crystal Quest is super easy now. Just unlock the Rock C and play it a few times. You can even dial it down to Easy, and just concentrate your sector strategy to see the most red sectors per run.
