I think a survival mode could be a good addition to FTL.
Here's how it would work:

- You select the ship you wish to use
- When the game starts, you are in empty space
- Press FTL drive to go to the next round
- Every round you fight a random enemy that gets slightly more powerful each round
- In between rounds you visit a store (every 2nd round?)
- Game ends when you die

This may work better if/when they add more to the game. (ships, weapons, etc.)
Some kind of unlock system might be cool. You would unlock stuff like ships or skins for them. (separate ship list in survival mode)
Maybe the survival mode ship could be slightly different versions than the normal mode ones for balance.

This is just a few ideas. What do you guys think about this? Any other DLC/update ideas you have.

Interesting. However, I don't get all the DLC threads popping up. The game only just came out; why do we need more content to saturate an almost infinite game? Modification opportunities are endless, and in my opinion free updates to a video game blow paid DLCs out of the water.

I only called it "DLC" because I saw other threads using the the term. I think if they added content it should be free. Maybe with a small price increase to the game depending how much more they add, if any.
