Well, if there's one thing that I noticed watching Let's Plays, is that these people usually don't know how to play the games. Which is not surprising when you think of it, since they are spending most of their time making the videos, a new game each time, while you need several dozen hours to get proficient at any kind of game.
And example is probably the
FTL - Steam Train video, which is a weird mixture of painful (for people that know the game) and entertaining, such fools, no, idiots, they make of themselves. (Though I'm kind of suspecting it's on purpose.)
Of course there's always exceptions to the rule, and I can think of two of them :
- Nerd³ which despite seeming have made a LOT of videos about FTL, in the video
Nerd³ Challenges! No Crew - FTL sends his only crew member from the cockpit manning shields, losing almost all of his evasion that way while gaining only a tiny shield recharge rate. (Though it might have been a bad decision due to stress because the other custom rule he used in that playtrough is to play without using pause.)
-In his video,
FTL : Bob Lennon dans l'espace, which I highly recommend watching (as long as you understand French, not only he explains the game quite well, he's also quite the showman, no wonder he's popular... (as an aside, I actually met him at the 2012 Montpellier in Game where he was commenting speedruns)), you can clearly see he knows his way around the game.
(Or maybe I'm full of shit, since I myself only played FTL for 99 hours now, which is not that much for a deep game like that, and only beat Normal with Federation Type A, which I hear is a bit overpowered.
)
And I'm often on the SotS2 official IRC chat (integrated in the game, even on singleplayer, a brilliant idea, especially for a game with a such steep learning curve), and you wouldn't BELIEVE the number of questions that are asked that would be answered, not even by Reading The (Fucking) Manual, but even just by Reading The (Fucking) Contextual Tutorial Screens.

And if soo, is there a way i can disable the custom random sector names you implemented soo i can search for the appropriate sectors which have ship unlocks?
Please try o reply quickly if you can
Yes, I'd like to know that too. What about the Infinite Addon, how likely are you to get the ship quests in the "Deep Space" sectors? I still have to unlock Mantis, Slug, Rock and Crystal...
