Having a game of FTL tonight and look at the names of the last 2 crew I picked up (totally random, you don't choose the names). Gave me a small lol

See that top central room, put them both in there, then open the doors

[MrPenguin]

They died didn't they?

Prime candidates for a boarding party into an enemy ship filled with mantis.

I always think the posts are directed at me, then I realize its to Bryan E.

[Minsc]

Seems like prime candidates for the old man at the black-hole encounter...

You detect and retrieve an escape pod floating nearby. You consider returning it to space when you learn it's Mantis.

• Jettison the pod. You send the pod back out the airlock. You're not stupid.
  
• Let Bryan pry it open.

Awww hard choice.


Other than joking, do get Faster Than Light. Its a fun fun rouge like.

Did you mean to rhyme? Remove 'directed' and you've even got a rhythm pattern too.

On a side note: How awesome is FTL, right?!

The game is rather easy to beat on easy. Normal is not normal. It is not balanced though. Killing the enemy crew by boarding, suffocating them or burning them all will always be better than just killing the ship and a must if you play on "normal".

Fun little game. Some mods worth getting too, one of them make the game go on forever with new motherships to take on.

[Silentium]

Now I feel worse. Starcon and starcon2 though, nice.
hat tip to your name sir.

lol that game is so awesome, did you get to the last boss?

[Drenzul]

Still never understood how people think FTL is difficult, sure you get the occasional game that screws you over somewhere and screws up that run, but I've not had many problems with it at all (I don't play on Easy). I think 2/3rds of my runs either got to the final boss or killed him, killed him my first try on easy, then my 3rd try on normal mode.

Tip - Burst fire or shield-bypassing weapons are they key. I prefer high DPS, multi-shot weapons such as the burst laser, fire them all at the same time with your first volley regardless of their reload time, targeting their shield generator. Bang, no shield, spread fire over shield, engine and weapons and thats job done. Best drones are defense 1 drones. Never use ANY beam weapons (Fire pike e.t.c.) apart from maybe the one that ignores all shields.
