"Well fuck"

Postby XOIIO » Fri Sep 27, 2013 9:47 am

So, I just had a "well fuck" moment in FTL, I had everything planned out to take out the big boss, and other ships using ion beams to disable weapons and pop in with my teleporter, or use the burst laser while letting the repair drones take care of the ship, but then, a stray missile hit just the wrong spot and this happened:

There goes my plan lol, I'll have to start over and maybe move the drone control room to one that has more than two rooms.

You can upload a screenshot directly and "include" it in the forum post. That adds scrollable borders, but honestly it's not perfect. Direct links are ideal, or if you can be bothered, you can use a smaller sized thumbnail to link to a full image.

That is a bad moment indeed. Funny though. :D I dont suppose you had the Small Bomb to aim at your own ship? All you could do here is hope a shot hits the DC room and destroys the Repair Drones.
There have been requests for drones to have self-destruct capability. :)

True, but you cannot acces eqipment in Danger, so it's still possible to be stuck. :)

You could also have upgraded the drone control to avoid that problem. :P

Funny screenshot though.
