NOTE: I AM SPOUTING THIS OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD
FTL is an amazing game, in my humble opinion, but, you can never share the experience with anyone else with anything other than words.
That's a horrid way to display things, in my opinion, as I have a horrible memory.
So, I've come up with an amazing way to get past this! This is only an idea, but I think this should be added/someone make this a mod.
BATTLE MODE:
Okay, this is but a rough draft of what my idea is, but I'm going to go with it!
Bare with me here.
Two ships (Player-Controlled) fight to the death in a round-based system. Just like any fight, they have a roster of ships they have earned (could change), and they fight until one is dead. No FTL to save you now, bud!
CAMPAIGN FIGHT
A bit weirder, and most certainly harder, both sides compete to meet at a certain sector, where they then fight, you know, to the death.
CO-OP CAMPAIGN
Simple-er than the previous one, both players work together to get to sector eight and beat the boss! Both start at the first sector, and they can't be at the same beacon at the same time. Tons of revision on this one.
So, those were my ideas. Any criticism is accepted and invited.
