sadly some systems are impossible to block from the player- they will be by forced on the first- and every store you come along until you buy it.

I think that only applies to Shields and Oxygen. Although has anyone tried starting without Piloting and Engines :lol:

They would call it the Hitchhiker - drifting through space using a distress beacon to latch onto passing ships or use up the fuel of non-destroyed enemy vessels for transport. Would be pretty neat actually. 8-)

If you don't have Piloting or Engines, I don't think you can even access the jump menu and call for help.

Oh bugger. Would've been amusing if a drifter with no dodge capability defeated the head of the Rebel Fleet. But that's only a dream... :cry:

Welcome to FTL: Stations Job.

A mod based on FTL: Captains edition stations- this mod places you in the seat of one of those stations and your job is to stay in a federation sector and trade goods with people passing buy- upgrade yourself and defend yourself from the rebels, automated ships, mantis and pirates and the giant alien spider attacks. then the rebel fleet rolls in and you are forced to fight it till the very end... or you come across the damaged remains of the Rebel flagship and destroy it for once and for all.

You still have a helm and engines system but your engine power is capped at 1 and you can't get fuel virtually ever.

I was thinking more along the lines of a hobo taking on what experienced military minds couldn't, but pretty close anyhow. -w-

Updated the download link with a few modifications which mainly focused on making the Lanius Taser more bearable to fly. Initially, it was just way too easy to shut down without shields; one hit anywhere, especially on piloting or engines, and it was over.

While the challenge of timing your execution of system and crew actions is still the main point of its early run, the other challenge has shifted from obtaining shields to upgrading your pitiful reactor. Floor was also changed to a pure white-silver color to blend more naturally into the ship's hull and cloak. Med bay has been fixed to allow two people inside it. Cloaking has been downgraded to level 1 to compensate for you now having shields. Everything else has been left intact.

Also, I finally animated gibs for each ship and, with some help from Biohazard, changed as many system appearances (or costs, in the case of oxygen and doors) as possible and gave the Taser Bomb one sole event for it to shine in.
