Hello!
Today after a quick reboot I lost all my progress including my ships and achievements?
Is there a way to restore my ships? It's a week worth of gameplay and I'm kinda pissed..
Lost all my ships and achievements!

Re: Lost all my ships and achievements!
If you're in Windows 7, you can right click on the new profile file and choose "Restore Previous Versions" and possibly roll back to a recent version. But you still might lose some data.
Just email me (zasdarq@ftlgame.com) a list of achievements/ships that you had and I'll happily make you another profile.
Very sorry about this.

To anyone else:
If you lose all of your save data please check the save folder (My Documents/My Games/FasterThanLight for Windows) for "prof.sav" and possible "prof.new.sav." If you have both, delete prof.sav and then start the game again. That has recovered it for some people.

I just lost my ship, accidentally closed the program during a fight and when I started back up it was gone.
I only have prof.sav and my revert to previous version in Vista say I have none.
Achievements are still there and the new ships I gained.

Do you mean the ship you were currently playing? If you close out of the program and don't select "Save and Quit" then it won't save it When I have time to put out an update, I'll make sure that the game still confirms you want to quit even if you hit the X so this doesn't happen.
Sorry about this.

Ya my current progress.
Ok, that's sad. No way to get previous save either?

Re: Lost all my ships and achievements!
The playthroughs are intended to be one way until you win or lose, and then you try again in a new, randomized galaxy They should only like 5 minutes to a couple hours each, so you don't really lose extensive progress. As you replay though you'll unlock new ships and discover new things.

Ok, guess I'm just a bit too careful when I play then. But I'll start over then.

Re: Lost all my ships and achievements!
Ok so the same thing that happened to vimle happened to me and there is only prof.sav I had 6 out of the 9 ships and I am pretty pissed I just turned off the computer for the night and then turned it back on this morning and I start back with only the first ship but now I have The Kestrel and The Torus since I thought that if I played a bit that it would be fixed. Please I spent a week and a couple of days getting these things!
