My favorite ship is the mantis ship with the huge teleporter. If you get the teleporter to level 3, you can spam teleport back and forth your boarding party and kill entire ships often with just one boarding attempt.
hell with how many wins he's uploaded I think he could crush multiverse!! the myriad difficulty modifiers and with so many events/quests/questlines being optional, I think this dude could totally dive in now and I am 1000% here for it
when it comes to dealing with fires on board , you can vent compartments to space to put them out fast. the shut the doors and make repairs. also that stealth ship looks like a big arwing
Thank you for getting me back into this game. Completed a run yesterday with double Burst laser II and double Swarm missiles, together with Automated re-loader, Defense Scrambler and Explosive replicator. Will never have such a god run again.
love our indecisive aquatic friend but can someone please tell him that ships are not attempting to escape unless the game is explicitly telling you they are?
you should always sell LRS if it gets you shields. LRS are good, but having shields on stealth A (and the rest of the stealth ships honestly) is extremely important
Well, at least it isn't the Stealth-C cruiser. Long Range Scanners are an absolute godsend of an Augment specifically because it lets you see hazard nodes like Asteroids and Pulsars in advance. Titanium Casing is better than nothing, but it's also worth pawning off for scrap to buy shields early (or a clutch weapon). Hacking or Drones are quite useful on all the Stealth cruisers due to them only getting 3-weapon slots.
Oh no u could have had a zoltan shield if you're in the zoltan homeworlds always hear them out. If you answer correctly its a garrenteed zoltan shield.
lmao attacking the zoltan peace envoy is such a goofy move now you cant get zoltan shields xD. Also love the new player energy of selling longrange scanners instead of titanium system casing. At least he didnt give up the preigniter tho.
Its always jarring watching new players with there logic, after having like 1500 hours in the game and beating everything on hard.... but then again i was like this too when i started xDD
Please STOP putting the outcome of the run in the title! It kills the suspense!!! That aside, thank you for doing what you do. I love your videos and listening to the way your mind works. 😀
Battery use zero. oh wait...an hour later he uses it. lol Good build though, stealth + big alpha strike is a good way to play. But uh the micro is still a bit pants-on-head at times. Leaving the mantis crew working the camera while the human crew go fight the invading zoltan, aiight I guess it works... then switch to venting 02 very slowly from a single doorway. This does not spark joy. Yeah upgrading doors is like no1 priority unless you're using a very specific build of ship or your crew are mantis and don't care about combat. Also taking ships intact is a great way to get more weapons/items/crew. So fire weapons or ion weapons + teleportation stuff is a viable option. Raw damage is nice, but taking out the different parts of the ship is just as effective in neutralising the enemy. And if you've got time you can grind up engine/shield/pilot skill vs one of those drone ships if it only has like a little laser.
"This might be the best FTL run ever." Sorry to rain on your parade, but my stealth run had me SO lucky. Got a pre-igniter, burst laser mk 3, AND a glaive beam. Wiped half the ships on my first volley. Was so rich by the time i hit the flagship i was like... 80-100 scrap from being completely maxxed out on ship upgrades.
Stop saying whether you win or lose in the title! It’s like a spoiler to a movie. Zero tension and we’re not investing as much into the journey and it’s tribulations
aaaaaaa your micro and macro is so bad. Please read descriptions of races and weapons. Also pause more often and think more about your existing systems. Another think is fires, you can airlock them. and medbay doesn't heal boarders.
Imagine you're watching a movie and the title gives away the ending. Please consider not spoiling the run from the very beginning. It really sucks away a lot of enjoyment. FTL has tense moments, hard choices, and nail biting encounters. None of these things feel tense, or difficult anymore because I just know you're going to win from the title. Thank you.
