| Is this a bug or is the game screwing with me? Posted: 01 Dec 2020 02:38 AM PST So I made my way to a store, exited the game via save+quit. I fired up the game later to be met with a message - "Artyom is gone" - at a store beacon! Wouldn't even let me clone the guy! I have never seen a store eat a crewmember in nearly 900 hours playing. Is this some kind of bug or is the game evolving new levels of BS!? Typical FTL - even when it breaks, it breaks against you! [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 30 Nov 2020 09:59 PM PST Generally I've upgraded cloaking all the way to the full three power but I'm wondering if this is an efficient use of power. I've been wondering lately if you get most of the benefits just from having one power bar of it filled. Thoughts? Mostly thinking about the flag ship here, as you can Dodge all three missiles with only one power bar if you spam pause. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 30 Nov 2020 12:28 PM PST Hi all, it's me, laniusplushie, back with another story. You might remember me from when I posted the short story on the clone bay. And, yeah, you read the title right. This story's a little bit different, LOL. "Rebels begin their final push into the crumbling Federation's capital sector. Newly-promoted Captain Weir manages to steal vital Federation data in the form of DNA carried by his long-time opponent. But attraction has long since been brewing between them, and tensions are running high… It's a tale of a cat and mouse game gone awry." All I ask to those who are open to the idea of reading this, is that they go in with an open mind and trust me and my ability to tell a story. But I'm excited! It's been several years since I wrote/published a multichap. And I've never written one in full before posting. I had a lot of fun learning from this project and the many challenges it put me through, and I hope you enjoy the read! I know the premise might seem a bit bizarre, but I spent months prewriting and polishing this story before it came out. I tagged the story to the best of my ability and, while the story does not have many warnings, I will include the couple I do have when applicable in their respective end notes. My betas (beta-readers) were instrumental in making sure the writing of this story was superb. Cannot thank them enough. I can guarantee if you have an issue with the story, it'll be a matter of taste and not on the writing quality. Just to be on the safe side, I plan to mark every post NSFW even though the majority of the story isn't. For example, the excerpt down below is SFW. On that note, I've included the beginning excerpt with the link. Let's go! ---------- Chapter 1: This Little War-Game We Play "Any moment now, Engineer," the captain announced to his prisoner. He turned around, the coattails of his black Rebel uniform swishing. The light from the portview shone on the electric-blue hawk emblem above his heart. "We are going to be in Federation capital starspace." His pale, solemn face cracked a wry smile. "Isn't it funny? The Federation is about to lose the war despite the data being within their very own capital." The captive frowned. She was crouched by the door on the opposite side of the room. A passing satellite poured light upon her black hair woven into a bun and brown skin before illuminating him and his black, chin-length wavy hair. She gritted her teeth at him and how his words twisted her like the electronic handcuffs twisting her hands behind her back. There wasn't much good humor behind it, but she was wary of how his smile disarmed her, even if only by a little. He continued, tone mocking, the same smile still plastered across his face. "Your crew has no time to deliver the data. After all, how could they? Little Miss Data is with me right now." "Don't call me that," she snapped. "I've only heard that bullshit name from your degenerate brother. Didn't realize you'd decided to use it, too." His face fell, but he refused to take the bait. The inflammatory remark couldn't erase the sense of satisfaction he finally felt. He had done it. After all this time, he, Captain Seinen Weir, had retrieved the data. It had been over a year of him and his crew chasing after a lone Kestrel ship, scouting multiple beacons for their trace. It had been a game of cat and mouse as he and his men tried to ensnare the enemy ship and obtain the vital data the ship had stored away, or at the very least, prevent them from delivering it. The enemy crew members also carried it on microchips for several months before it got encoded straight into their engineer's DNA. A clever move, he admitted, that had resulted in a tougher pursuit. Yes, it was not so easy to admit, as a once humble Rebel lieutenant, now elevated to captain, that he had considered this unsuspecting Federation crew a minimal threat. And yet, they had turned out to be quite the handful for him, managing to outmaneuver him on multiple occasions. How infuriating. His foes weren't even officially ensigns, the lowest rung of the ladder. He and his brother, bested by a trio of honorary ensigns? Downright embarrassing. The tribulations first started when he and several other lieutenants had been sent undercover at Federation military academies spanning countless sectors. Seinen's task was to look for the high security data that could be passing through. He got lucky; a fellow professor let it slip that a special delivery—a "unique relay consignment"—from the next sector was soon to arrive. He was told that teachers would help carry the delivery, once it landed at their academy, to the next sector. It surprised him that something of such importance would be traveling through such a backwater, broken-down area. The resources were meager, the technology was obsolete, and the training vessels were of the barest of bones, running on outdated systems. It was clear the lack of funding from the capital was to blame, but he supposed that was what made this downtrodden sector the perfect choice; no one would suspect it. Seinen hadn't known it then, but he had come across his soon-to-be adversaries in passing not too long after his discovery. He wouldn't see her again for several days after that, when he and his brother enacted their plan just before the teachers' trek commenced. The students would have graduated in a month's time, but instead they took up the teachers' mission in their steed, sprinted away with the data, commandeered a battered ship while their academy fell to ruin, and jumped away. He grinned in recollection. What a thrill the chase had been! Now at last, she was here. In his room and in handcuffs. She was the data the Federation needed to win, and she wasn't going anywhere. His eyes flicked to her and then back to the view outside. This one here, sitting on the ground in front of him? Dealing with her had been the biggest enjoyment of all. The Kestrel's Engineer had played the most challenging game. And now, that game was coming to an end. ---------- If you want to read the full chapter, it's here on my AO3 page. Have a nice day!

| Posted: 30 Nov 2020 05:00 PM PST Is it possible to rebind the 1 key so that pressing 1 does not accept option 1 in prompts? I like to line up my shots by pressing the corresponding number key on my keyboard to select weapons and I am accidentally accepting surrenders a lot because of that preference. I see in the control hotkey settings we can change what the weapons are bound to but I don't see a setting for changing the keys that control the 1. and 2. options in the prompts. Does anyone know if there's a file somewhere with the bindings that I could manually edit? I know a lot of games use those files, I've changed them before in other games when settings menus let me down. [link] [comments] |
