    [Dev] FTL Steam Achievements will Auto-Sync

    Posted: 27 Jan 2020 04:56 PM PST

    Hello everyone!

    Apologies for the delay in releasing the update with achievements for Steam. It will be coming on Thursday morning (West Coast US time).

    Once the update is live, any achievements you've already unlocked will automatically sync with the Steam system when you launch the game. So if you wanted to start from scratch (because you're a masochist), you'll have to wipe your profile ahead of time.

    Thank you to everyone who continues to play and enjoy FTL. It's amazing there's still so many of you out there and we're thrilled to still be providing support for the game so long after release.

    Jesus Christ, clone bay...

    Posted: 27 Jan 2020 03:42 PM PST

    TL;DR : Had a super good Mantis B run so far, ended up losing because I thought crewmen would be cloned when they stayed inside a jumping enemy ship.

    So I unlocked the Mantis B recently and I thought I would love it because it's the only ship in the game that has a 4 slot teleport room, and I love to play boarding offensive. The only problem is that it starts with no weapon at all, but with one boarding and defense drone. Two shields, only two Mantis as a crew. That makes it a rough start : it's a good ship, but you need to buy a lot , and I mean a LOT of things to make it work properly.

    So the run was going pretty good this far, I managed to get efficient weapons, a full crew capable of operating all of the 4 main systems, and a boarding crew of 4 Mantis that were maxed out on the attack skill. I also had a clonebay and reconstructive teleport, which were the best upgrades I could bring, especially on this ship. The only problem was that my weapons weren't powerful enough arriving at sector 6 or 7. I stumbled upon an automated ship with level 4 shields. Needless to say that with all the means I had, no way to beat the ship. My only weapons were defensive, or offensive but working only if the ship was manned by a physical crew.

    So this was one of those ships that instantly charges his FTL drive when you encounter him. So, when I realized I couldn't deal any damage with my weapons alone, I said f**k it and sent my 4 boarders on the shields and weapons room. I knew the jump would be imminent, but I didn't care : I thought they would simply be considered as dead by the game, be cloned, reappear and I could move on with my run that was going really well...

    Too well apparently because as soon as the ship escaped, my 4 Mantis were gone. Not cloned, nothing. I was so furious, my crew was perfect and the four of them had their fighting skill maxed out.

    I was so furious, I knew that I couldn't beat the boss with such a disadvantage occuring this time of the run. So my anger just made me open all the doors in the ship, disabling the clone bay and letting the remaining crew suffocate.

    So yeah, that day I learned that crew members can't be cloned when an enemy ship jumps with them inside. Too bad it was the day I had the best ship config I ever had.

    I didn't even know that, I was so surprised at first.

    They suffocated in the dead of space, far from their loved ones. They will be missed.

    In case anyone is wondering when the Steam achievements are arriving, they're still working on it.

    Something more silliness for JaiC to cosplay.

    Three ideas for FTL2

    Posted: 27 Jan 2020 09:51 AM PST

    Hi! If there is ever a FTL2 I would love to:

    • Be able to have just an encounter in a sector. eg. I have 5 min and I just want to play against a ship in sector 4. Create me a random ship with some random stuff appropriate for that sector.
    • Be able to fast play for 2 sectors (with high difficulty increase) or more than 8 sectors (difficulty increases slower).
    • Once I win, be able to play with my ship against other people who won. Playing against other ships will be the best. Of course is difficult to develop because it involves multiplayer stuff.

    Thanks a lot for this amazing game.

    Stats Recorded for Posterity Before Wipe for the Achievements Drop this Week

    Fuck Stealth B

    Posted: 27 Jan 2020 03:58 AM PST

    The beginning is so fucking bad. It's the only one I have left to get the crystal ship and its not even close how much worse it is than all the other ones. I've spent more time on this ship than all the other ones combined.

    115% Dodge and still got hit.

    Posted: 27 Jan 2020 06:31 AM PST

    Just to explain it right away. I had everything maxed. 115% dodge with cloak. Was at the last round against the mothership. Energie Surge and 3 Rockets are about to be fired. I cloak for 10 seconds. 115% Dodge. No engine was broken. Pilot is at his seat.

    So 115% dodge. That should be an absolute dodge of everything, right?

    Well the game decided no and said fuck you player. All 3 rockets flew in and hit my engine, my shield and weapons room. Energy surge then of course took care of the rest of my crew.

    So was this a bug? Or are you strictly not allowed to play logical in this game anymore?
