    Ah, hubris...

    Me at the beginning of the sector: "I'm a little beat up but I'll search for the shop and I should be good." Me at the end of the sector:

    VICTORY! My first successful run.

    Posted: 20 Jun 2021 12:59 PM PDT

    Need help! Boss just stuns my weapons and then stealth, I haven't got a shot off. Are we deadlocked or can someone figure a way to beat it?

    MFers gave me wrong directions to the Federation Base

    Posted: 20 Jun 2021 11:14 PM PDT

    For context, I'm new to the game and still discovering a lot of things. Basically, my run was looking dire heading into sector 5. I came in on like 8hp and the only decent weapon I'd found was a big ion gun.

    First beacon is an allied federation ship or something who give me directions to a Federation Base. Checking the map, the quest icon is on the far other side of the sector. Great. So I'm basically tip-toeing through this sector, healing a little bit at every available opportunity - I'm constantly at ~5hp because the last time I went to one of these bases I got a full heal. So I'm thinking, as long as I can stay alive for the minimum amount of cash possible, I'll be alright.

    Fast forward to the end of the sector, the shop next to the exit beacon has a Halberd beam in it (!!) Finally! I'm one jump away from a full heal and now I have real damage! Jump to the quest and I get the classic

    Sorry, you must've been given wrong directions. Your princess is in another castle.

    The fuck?? You had 1 job guys!!

    So by the time I get back to the exit beacon with my fresh new halberd beam equipped, the rebel arc is like a pixel ontop of it so in the combat I take like 2 points of damage trying to stall the rebel ship and its gg.

    Just so I know for future reference, are there any other bs instances like this? I've already had my pilot slain by a mantis in a floating capsule so I imagine this game has some more lmao

    Possible first win on hard. What could be obstacles?

    Posted: 20 Jun 2021 04:41 PM PDT

    So I'm pretty new to this game (between 50 and 100 attempts). Up to now I've beaten it once on easy and once on normal. Everytime I've won I went a difficulty step up because I think playing games like FTL on the lower difficulties teaches you bad gameplay habits since you have way more room for bad desicions you could make with the load of scrap you get on easy or normal.

    So hard it is now. I've reached the flagship a couple times but couldn't beat it. The ongoing attempt might be my luckiest one up to now. I'm sure it should be doable but am kind of scared to go on because I'm afraid I'll fuck it up.

    I'm at the first beacon of sector 7 (Rebell controlled). There is a shop in reach where I could check for new stuff, but it wont be the most preferable route through the sector.I'm pretty much set on weapons. BL II, Flak I and a Halberd Beam. Nothing really to improve here. The Artemis could be switched, but is still nice to have if I loose 1-2 power on the Halberd. And I still have a Pike Beam in my inventory to sell or use. Augments are reloader and pre-igniter for the extra boom.Shield on 3 and evasion on 45% should be enough and I don't think I'll invest more scrap in the shield and the engines.I have a drone controller but no Defense Drone I (still bought it because I was afraid I won't find another one). The Anti-Drone Drone should be helpful against the second flagship wave anyway.

    Depending on what I find in stores I would like to go for mind control to counter the flagships mind control and probably hacking to counter whatever seems to be the biggest problem the flagship offers. Cloak would be nice too instead of hacking but I'm a bit hesitant because of the price.So the shopping list would be:- Defense Drone I- Mind Control- Hacking or Cloak- Upgrades for O2, the medbay and the subsystems

    What would you guys do differently or where do you think I might fail with a set up like that? BecauseI know it will haunt me forever if I lose this one. I got pretty much everything I wanted up to now.

    Almost everything's broken and everyone's dying, but I won

    I hate it when the flagship does this. (and yes, I'm fighting the flagship with only two weapon power)

    Posted: 20 Jun 2021 03:06 PM PDT

    Found a useful trick for the stealth B against zoltan shields. It didn't save me.

    Don't know what to do in a game

    Posted: 20 Jun 2021 01:01 PM PDT

    Hey, I have played this game for about 50 hours and unlocked all the ships. But now I don't know what to do in a game. I destroyed the flagship with every ship on easy, and with 3 or 4 on normal. Most boring part for me is that I have a one strategy and for most times it is enough. And the second thing (maybe I didn't understand it well but) is RNG. I mean that if I don't find the weapon I need then the run is probably failed.

    I really want to play this game more but I can't. So would like to know your opinion on this. (I hope you understood me because English is my second language)

    532 hours and I've unlocked all ships

    Posted: 20 Jun 2021 11:00 AM PDT

    Is there anything else to unlock once you have ABC of all ships and AB Crystal/CO2BOIS?

    God I hate this game, feels like everytime the last form of the Flagship is just an RNG battle

    Posted: 20 Jun 2021 01:46 PM PDT

    All I wanna do is get ship unlocks, lol. Keep getting to Sector 8 with the Torus, going into the final fight with max health and hte missles land every single time, (with 44% evasion), and my entire ship ends up on fire and also breached, crew bleeds to death, then I blow up

    Unfortunate end to an unfortunate run.

    Posted: 20 Jun 2021 01:35 PM PDT

    Just got into a run for the first time in many months after losing to the final boss with one bar of health left. I thought my luck would turn around, no chance I guess. I had a pretty wealthy start, getting my shields to level 3 and the zoltan shield charger in about 3 systems. I just needed a weapon, and apparently, the game decided that wasn't an option. I had about 150 scrap through 3 systems, each green, and encountered many shops, but not a single one had weapons, probably went through 4 of them. At the last jump before the exit, at the last system before the final boss, I run out of fuel. I had already ran out of fuel once in this system, and had gotten lucky and was able to buy about 5 more for 25 scrap. That luck soon ran out, as after 2 encounters, i was shot down by a mantis bomber. I actually had a hail marry on the ship before the mantises, shot my last missile at the ship, hitting the shields long enough for me to charge up a volley from the 3 shot burst laser weapon you start with. None of them connected, and he got away scott free. I think the game hates me, just a bit.
