This looks rad, but I may wait for a Switch version.

Wow, I wasn't aware that this was being made! Looks good; I'll have to keep an eye on it. (Although I won't be getting it too soon, as I've already got a load of games that need playing)

I reinstalled FTL because of this thread, and at some point between now and when I originally played it they patched in a bunch of new ways to get resources, enemies surrendering in battle, it's way better now.

I played a shitload over the summer after not touching it for years, and won pretty easily a bunch of times. I think they made it slightly easier which I'm definitely not complaining about

It doesn't feel like I'm just rolling dice to get enough resources to manage, my decisions definitely seem like they have more impact.

Nice, that sounds like it's received some solid improvements! I haven't played it in years either, so I might need to pick it up again.

Yeah btwn the new encounters and ship layouts the game had a lot of quality post launch support

I played it not long after it came out, and I remembered it being a lot more random. I don't have any expansions, if they released any.

They made it easier by blunting the randomness then added a hard mode so you had to be just as good as before but now with twice the systems and knowing esoteric ways of manipulating what shows up in shops

i'm only ok at ftl, but it's possible to be very good at it, and to win games very consistently. here's a forlorn wolf coat guide. the trick is that what new players tend to think is good (lots of shields, enough power to run everything, blowing everything up) is bad, and what new players think is bad (doors, medbays, sensors) are actually good.

Doors are like the first thing I upgrade every single time

I could never get into FTL much partly because of the dumb final boss. Might give it another go based on what you guys are saying though.

This looks awesome and I've been looking forward to it for a while

its satisfying as hell. i havent tried the easy or hard difficulties (fewer enemies and -50% xp for easy, more elite enemies and more xp for hard) but normal is a rollercoaster ride of feeling like a goddamn idiot when you gently caress up and feeling like a loving genius when you turn it around
