If you posted: "FTL is awesome, but I want an open galaxy to explore."
You might like: Space Pirates and Zombies
If you posted: "FTL is awesome, but I want to fight with multiple ships in big fleet battles."
You might like: Gratuitous Space Battles
Both are in the current humble indie bundle...available for 3 more days.

I can confirm both S.P.A.Z. and Gratuitous Space Battles are brilliant games.
As is Flotilla and AI War: Fleet Command if you're looking for some alternatives too.

i've yet to buy a Humble Indie Bundle. But because i so much dig FTL, the OP has skewed my thinking. i almost went for it but money is an object. And thanks to GOG.com i have a large backlog of Great games yet played. So i'm actually passing on this but nearly pulled the trigger on it. i just wanted to say that i like FTL so much that i nearly did something stupid (for me, in my fiscal situation) ;~p
otay, back to FTL...
(i can't explain all of why i love this game as much as i do, but i do.. so back to it)

I haven't played GSB but SPAZ is pretty fun for a while, it loses its appeal fairly quickly though, but should be good for 10+ hours fun.

How anyone can say "money is an object" when referring to a Humble Bundle completely stumps me. You do know you can pay whatever you like, right? As low as $1?

I haven't loaded up SPAZ yet but GSB is very very cool.
Like FTL on steroids. Not that the two really can compare.
My first real go at Torchlight too.
Humble Indie Bundle FTW!

Yeah, that's ok for some people, but if i can't pay a reasonable amount then i'll pass. And for this bundle, one needs pay a minimum in order to get the games the OP recommends. It's just not for me to pay so little, even though i have so little. Hehe though i've no problem seeking sliding scale dentistry and doctoring.

I bet FTL will be in a Humble bundle someday.
Prediction: It will be humble bundle 23, in late 2016. FTL will have had lots of updates plus a full expansion pack by then, but it's appearance in bundle 23 will be strategically timed to garner even more interest in FTL 2, also to be released in 2016.
