Sadly, the devs are pretty low on activity in the forum and especially this section, but they have said (twitter somewhere or something, I'll try to find it) that they haven't planned any multiplayer simply because it would be very hard to balance everything out and make it fair and real-time and pausing and whatever.
I always have this great idea to post about when reading a thread, but I always seem to loose the subject while writing a reply, and end up not saying anything at all. I should sleep more. Is that a cookie?

@FTLgame I've searched your Twitter up and down for this info. Anyone ever ask about multiplayer possibly coming to FTL in the future?

@pdactyl Sorry, no multi-player is planned. It's a very focused single-player experience

@FTLgame I expected as much, but a man can dream! I'm so excited for the release. Thank you for taking the time answer my questions.
