I stream FTL quite a bit (and lots of other games also). Channel on twitch is http://www.twitch.tv/hillhome. My stream is usually on Mon, Tues, Thurs, Friday 10:30pm Eastern US time (GMT -5) until I get tired. I've been taking a bit of a break lately due to work but I will be on tonight with FTL! Th...

Having two small kids at home here's my simple solution:

ALT + TAB

Just let the thing run in the background until you have time to get back to it <shrug> no big deal!

Once you are in the game hit ESC to bring up the menu and then go to options. There is a menu there for audio - it's just not accessible from the main menu.

I've been playing on normal difficulty. So far it's been great! I have noticed a substantial power increase about the 4th and 5th new sectors which I just can't seem to keep up with in scrap costs to upgrade to new weapons, stay fixed and well survive basically. I'm sure I just need to explore more ...

Ahh that's good to know that's there but would it possible to code in an Options line on the main FTL screen so we can do all that before we actually enter into the game?

Right makes sense to keep some things hidden and to be a surprise! Thanks everyone

I saw a note about videos in the announcement that the beta is very close to being released but for absolute clarity's sake I need to ask the following question. Are we able to freely record and post videos of the beta including but not limited to services such as youtube and twitch.tv? I'm assuming...

Glad this is finally available for people to try out xD

Same here!

I figured "alpha" spoke for itself but awesome post Gorlom <3
