Yeah, this isn't a multiplayer mod. This is a whole new game using FTL engine (if such a thing could exist). Still looks good, after all one of the earlier concept builds of FTL had ship positioning and such.
Now when I think FTL Multiplayer I think of some co-op counter op where you could meet another ship, and either trade or have a full out battle with traditional FTL gameplay as moving crew targeting weapons deploying drones and managing systems. Not moving ships, however again I don't think FTL has a balanced mechanic for multiplayer. It would be the first to knock out the weapon systems usually is the winner if no sides have teleporters.
Hurray! Another multiplayer clone project. :)

Re: Hurray! Another multiplayer clone project. :)
I very much enjoyed the WASD controls. I hope there is at least an option in later releases. I understand click controls make it more similar to it's sister game, FTL, however they work differently with this engine. Since you are only controlling one person, and you are right-clicking. It would also make it more immersive to me, alas i have no idea how others feel. (other than my crew mates)
