I once shot down my own defence drone because it swung in front of my lasers just as they were firing. You sure it wasn't an enemy projectile? I didn't think you could shoot down your own drones. I'm pretty sure I've done it. Shot down enemy drones too. It's fairly noticeable when my shot just disa...

Fourth run (still easy mode) last sector, stage 3! :o I'd have done better if I had enough firepower to reliably overwhelm a four-layer shield, but somehow I ended up with a burst laser 2, heavy ion, fire beam, and system bomb (with a missile shortage) - no offensive drones. The fire beam actually h...

Can't say I've overmuch sympathy for a proponent of unabashed save scumming . Catering to this instant-gratification mentality is a small, but significant reason why PC gaming is in decline. Like Binding of Isaac, FTL just wasn't designed to win every time. Stuff's supposed to go wrong, and the whol...

Since completing a Paypal transaction requires the use of your email, they should have the correct email address. Check your email, you should be getting a link from the humble ind...

Hah, indeed so! Death number three, two words: Slug treachery . (Apparently leaning heavily on offense to keep you safe - as having a weapon pre-igniter tends to make one wont to do - can be rather problematic when your weapons suddenly aren't available. My two layers of shielding just wasn't enough...

My second run was another "things were going great until" situation... Things were going great until I encountered a mantis ship. No problem, he only had one shield, no doubt my Hull Smasher I laser would soon have his weapons down. Of course, he soon beamed over his crew but I put down th...
