They said it couldn’t be done
How I first found out about FTL and the present.

The FTL gods blessed me with four burst laser mark II's so I creeped around in a nebula to farm some xp
Cloak or teleporter? Crystal A halfway through sector 1, I have a Flak 2, I know that cloaking is a safe bet, but teleporter is just so compelling with 2 crystals on board.

How I first found out about FTL and the present.

I have know this game for years having my first exposure maybe 5-7 years ago (I can't really remember It was a long time ago.)

I was at my best friend / cousin's house when he showed me this game he was playing. He explained it and he played it with me (I was mostly watching). I remember the ship was the Kestral. I also remember having fun making choices together.

I don't remember the run at all. But something I remember that I will most likely never forget is when we reacted sector 8 and fought the flagship together.

When we encountered it we saw this massive yellow blue striped Rebel ship. I'm pretty sure I was jaw dropped. (My cousin did not seem as surprised so he probably got to this part before)

I can't remember the fight. All I remember was we beat the ship. I remember hugging each other and jumping and screaming. It was definitely the first time my cousin has beaten it. But after a moment we looked at the screen again...

There was the map.

And the icon of that ship. We where both really confused. We clicked to where the ship was jumping. And read the text.

We saw the ship with the left part gone and the fight started.

The last I remember was the boarding drone killing all our crew and the sadness that followed...

Fast forward to around 2019 I remember that game I played all those years ago. I get it and start playing. I see all the ships that are black and all the acevements to be obtained. I love trying to complete games to 100%. So I start playing I fell in love with the game, and played most of my runs without advance content. Eventually after a while I turned it on.

I eventually I stopped playing it mainly because of exams and also because I had gotten every ship and almost every achievement.

Then Covid-19 happened. Still revising for exams I had almost forgotten about it. Only near the last 2 weeks I remembered again and said to myself I would play it again and finish the final achievements.

And now I'm here I just finished passive run and no repairs and no buying for stores achievements and only have "boarding mission successful" left.

And then realized that FTL is a old game so will it have mods and an active community? I mean I knew mods where a must but people still playing it and making mods? Nah I did not think so. I was so happy I was wrong.

Welp I hope you like this story that I written in my bed on my phone. Also if you have read to this point I'm gonna post a question In a few hours about what the best FTL mods that adds a lot of stuff, like new ships, weapons, race, and options ect.
