Hey finally beat the last boss AND IN THE BASILISK NO LESS!!! Only took 45 hours.

OP: Your post makes me think that this is not the right game for you. I enjoy challenges and like hard games and puzzles. Having played lots of real roguelikes (I don't consider FTL to be a roguelike just because it has permadeath), there's much to be said about player experience being the takeaway...

Okay, I've just read through this entire thread and I honestly can't believe this has never happened to anybody else. Seriously? Final boss ship and my ship explode at exactly the same moment. Game over. No victory. It took me a week or two to come back to the game after that. Ha! Well technically ...

Trying for Living off the land achievement(Reaching Sector 8 without buying at a store) Playing Stealth Ship A. I have level 6 engines, mini beam, dual lasers and a hermes missile.(3 power, 3 damage) and nothing else. no drones, no shields, not enough reactor power to use everything at once. I got ...

The one thing i dont like about the randomness is that it is only by luck that you have what you need to beat the game. I've played for 35 hours so far and have yet to have the weapons/crew i need to beat the boss. The closest i've gotten was the very first time i got to the boss with the kestral A ...

I REALLY want to love this ship, but it seems every time i just start to get things rolling, i get brutalized by an auto scout. I've lost 2 ships with full crews and an all gold mantis boarding party, plus tons of upgrades to an autoscout at a sun, and one in an asteroid belt. I'm pretty sure the on...

First jump in new game landed me in an asteroid field. A battle ensued with a scout i think. First hit takes out my oxygen and starts a fire. I vent the compartments to get rid of the fire and also cycle guys to between med bay and oxygen generator to fix it. Then the med bay gets hit. Over the next...
