    Finally beat the game

    It was with Nessario A on normal. The second battle with the flagship was so stressful as I had no way of getting through shields and had to deal with like a million drones and keep fixing my weapons since I needed all of them firing at once to get any damage done. Kept that mini laser the whole time.

    Human and Mantis can get teleported back from airless drone with one point in teleport. How?!

    Have any of y’all checked out the modding scene? If yes, what would you recommend trying?

    How to manage the Mantis A death spiral?

    Posted: 19 Nov 2020 03:33 PM PST

    Been trying to win with every basic layout before moving on to the Bs and then the Cs. Y'all helped me out pretty well with Fed, Engi I needed a little time for but got the hang of, and I literally won my first game with Zoltan. So I'm on Mantis now, and I find myself running into these problems:

    • Bomb management. I find myself using at least one every ship, if not on a medbay/clonebay/missile weapons, than on piloting to soften up an enemy and make the Mantis' job easier. (Very valuable against opposing Mantis!) But I invariably run out of bombs somewhere around sector four, and then I can't kill the medbay unless I have enough weaponry to pop shields. Speaking of that...

    • Weapon loadouts. Only three slots, plus the Small Bomb is generally a keeper because of its efficacy in boarding support. The best I've been able to theorize/kinda use is something like Bomb/(flak or ion)/beam, where a beam can compensate for having/needing two shield poppers, but of course I have to stay alive to use it. (Sidenote: Mantis A doesn't exactly strike me as a suitable gunship/boarder hybrid, so which layouts would be?) And then, of course...

    • Staying alive before having a fifth crewmate. Even new to the ship I've seen a lot of scenarios that can quickly lead to a death spiral. Missile hits shields and causes a three-tile fire, and then a shot hits the single weapons bar. Boarders are low on health and need to beam out now, but medbay's knocked out and the time required to fix it is going to let them fix their medbay. Anything involving a solar flare.

    And oh yeah, this ship has no sensors, so I can't even see my own ship. What's that? Fire in the room below medbay which is absurdly far away from any airlock? It'd be a fine time to find that out when my boarders return from their successful pillage at 8 HP each.

    Boarding is fun, having Engi everywhere is fun, having two Mantis that can rip entire crews apart while still having a competent-enough ship to mop up whatever they can't is very fun. I just can't figure out how to stay alive long enough to get to those points.

    Did anyone notice Slug Interceptors have rooms connected without doors?

    My federation C run, no I didn't win but I got past stage one in the flagship so I call that a win in my book.

    Posted: 19 Nov 2020 04:43 PM PST

    So first things first, I had no weapons besides of the flak system thing pre installed that makes federation ships special. My no weapons was not a choice, I literally got really that fucking unlucky that I didn't have enough scrap to buy the cheapest weapon. And I can't get some of the screenshots I got because the iPad I'm using is so old I'm surprised it still runs ftl and works. Since this is was a few weeks ago I can't exactly recall everything, anyways my tatic was to abuse the clone bay until I got a gun to do less risky plays, but clearly that didn't change, so next thing was to rely on flak to get some damage or kill all crew. And I feel like the only reason I survived because of some clutch stores. My organical goal was to try to get the mantis cruiser, uhhhh didn't happen. Anyways, fast forward to the flagship, the plan was to destroy the weapons and the crew with mind control and boarding, while trying to mind control minimise the crew overall, and with my only weapon taking 20 to fire, it was going to be while. But I did it. Second time i wasn't so lucky, with only level 2 shields and 50 dodge, I got destroyed by power surged drones. It was unfortunate but I am honestly surprised I even made it that far.

    I made a Mashup of the theme song from FTl

    Sometimes FTL just wants you to get a win.

    Astronomically Low Odds?

    Posted: 19 Nov 2020 01:40 PM PST

    r/theydidthemath request, what ARE the odds? Just got this achievement, and wasn't even trying for it.

    Just won with Mantis C, the last ship on the list I haven't won with yet. Man, that's a bear to get started, but once you do, it's unstoppable. Weapons were just a laser charger, lock bomb and small bomb. Boarding crew was 3 mantises and a rock.
