Sup /v/. I'm at the last stand in FTL. Tonight we dine in hell.
I'm accepting suggestions for crew member names.
This is my loadout. I have the default weapons, the two-shot Pegasus missile and a dinky little Ion cannon.
>>321233979
>10 rockets
>No max shields or weapons
gg OP have fun dying
>>321234137
>rockets
>no bombs
>single laser
>3 shields
you might make it past the first stage, but have fun getting fucked by stage 2.
This is page 1 of the store. I don't think I want any of this, except for maybe missiles.
My strategy so far has been to hack the pilot, then time my missiles together and hit the shields, then finish the job with the other weapons. This is somewhat effective and costs me 3 missiles per fight, at least.
>>321233979
Are you running vanilla? Also, which difficulty?
>>321234491
Might want to stock up on missiles, yeah.
>no reactor power
>no shields
ur fucked buddy
This is page 2 of the store.
I think my strategy will be to sell the breach missiles, ion cannon, and titanium casing, and buy the laser to run alongside the other one. I'd have to upgrade weapons and the reactor.
Then hope I save up enough to buy max shield by stage 2 of the flagship.
shit man, get some missiles and better shields
>>321234497
Vanilla hard mode. If I pull it off, it will be my first victory with Kestrel A.
Pic related is where I am in relation to the flagship. I have to backtrack to get back into the fray, and hopefully I can pick up some scrap before everything turns red.
Should I sell the zoltan shield too?
>>321234946
it blocks the first hack
>>321235065
Ok, I'll keep it.
I'll sell the pegasus missiles and keep the breach. Same total damage, and the breach makes it tougher to repair.
Ok, here we go.
Going to try to pick up enough scrap to buy shields along the way!
>>321235514
good luck
The rebels took the next beacon I needed...
>>321235514
Think you can manage enough scrap to put in another point to your weapons system? Burst Laser 2 and 3 simultaneously will tear through the Fagship's shields like nobody's business. Might be ideal if you run outta missiles.
>>321234137
Hol up
How'd you get a Titanium System Casing? I thought that was unique to the Stealth A? I don't think it can drop in an event, or be sold in a shop.
The ASB missed, fortunately. I've still got two invaders but I'm ready to jump.
Do I want to go the upper beacon or the lower one?
>>321236052
Pretty sure you can get that as a quest reward in the Engi homeworlds.
>>321235950
I'd like to, but shields should be a priority, right?
>>321236052
It's an Engi homeworld quest that I barely pulled off. It's the same quest to unlock the stealth A.
I was thinking I'd want to get close to the flagship, but I should probably draw it out to build up scrap. Reaching that repair beacon seems out of the question.
Does this look like a good beacon to jump to? Closer? Further?
>>321236501
Shit man I dunno. Just hit it and see what happens.
I went with the farthest one. This is gonna be hard...
>>321233979
>less than max shields
you're fucked m8
>>321237208
Cost me a ton of missiles, but I got by with only 1 damage.
Here's the 2nd fight. I don't like the look of all those missiles.
At least the missiles stopped firing.
I'll take them out in the next volley.
No fleet in the background! Maybe I'll be able to afford shields after this fight.
I'm going to try to win without missiles.
Best of luck to ya mate, if the slugs and max lanius ships don't fuck you, the bullshit final boss will.
If only it was a actually enjoyable and fair boss, game would be much better.
>>321238983
Thanks.
Well, I did it. I got the level 4 shields. But at what cost?
One beacon left between me and the base.
>>321239446
Got any missiles left?
>>321239446
forgot the image
>>321239549
The last fight before the boss is a "defend the outpost" kind of deal. It's likely to have good rewards.
>>321239950
You're fucked. But KEEP GOING.
>>321240042
Only 6 missiles left, lol.
BUT I saved enough to upgrade weapons and core! Now I can use both weapons.
>>321239849
>8 missiles left on a ship with 2 missile weapons
>Already half-damaged
>no teleport or cloack
>no good weapons to rely once you tun out of missiles
you may as well restart now
>>321240204
Eight shot laser volleys sound pretty powerful to me.
WEAPONS GOT HACKED
IT'S ALL OGRE
>>321240445
Well shit. No time to jump away and try again?
>>321240445
can you hack their hacking room? not sure if that works
>>321240445
damn that was quick
>>321240787
Hacking hacking works. The question is where that leaves his ability to hurt the flagship.
>>321240568
Good idea. My hacking system got taken down so the first volley I fired didn't even penetrate she shields.
>>321240445
Told ya boss was bullshit.
Well, atleast ya tried.
>>321240908
I must have misread the map. There wasn't time after all.
I may have lost the galaxy, but at least my ship and crew are still alive. Right? Right?
You guys should try Out There
Similar. Less active combat strategy, more exploration and wonder.
I love both games, though.
I really like that I can play Out There on my phone though, on the train or whatever.
>>321241107
