Suggested New Achievements

Postby Sandow » Thu Oct 04, 2012 6:58 pm

Based on my recent experiences with playing FTL:

"Who left the door open?"
-Kill off your crew by forgetting to shut the door you opened during the last boarding party raid.

"Fire Whack-a-Mole"
-Successfully defeat a ship attacking you in a sun location, only to watch your ship reduced to cinders while having your screw scuttle around futility stomping out fires. Extra points if your have a Rockmen crew.

"Is it stuffy in here?"
-Forget to open doors in a breached room, leading to a valued crew member suffocating in the middle of your air-filled ship. Extra points if said crew member has max repair ability. Extra extra points if he dies while crawling to an exit.

"Ill timed lunch break"
-Suffocate your entire crew because your Zoltan crew member who was powering your O2 room wandered away to repair weapons, or heal, or take his lunch break.

"Has the doorknob always been this hot?"
-In a nebula or other situation where you do not have sensors available, think your ship is fine and dandy until a crew member opens the door and finds the whole ship is on fire.

"See ya, suckers!"
-Be in such a hurry to get to the next location that you accidentally click past the window warning you about leaving your boarding crew behind. Watch their startled faces as they grow smaller in the rearview mirror, never to be seen again.

"Roadtrip!"
-Have an enemy ship warp away, taking your best boarding crew with them. Extra points if they were maxed out for damage. Extra extra points if it was because you were waiting for your uber-cannon to cycle up again to take out the engines before the ship jumped.


Any others out there?

"Throwing yourself at the ground and missing"
-Miss your own ship with a bomb fired at yourself.

Also I think it would be cool if some achievement titles kept with the game's trend to reference modern science fiction.

All of these are hilarious ^^ although all of them seems to be failures instead of accomplishments? :|

Do you have any that isn't screwing you over in someway?

Name suggestion for the second one: "for we are legion". plus it would probably require a minimum amount of crew to activate or you would get it automatically on the Vortex.
