Faster Than Light: Anyone play it?

[Mister_X]

Yeah great hame, I managed to unlock all of the ships and it was a pain to do it but it was fun

YES!! KILLED THE BUGGER!!

Had to use the Engi-Drone cruiser though. Firebombs, system bombs and defence drones are great, as are ion bombs. Need to whore ammo though.

I've found the Mantis Cruiser MKII to be the most effective ship in the game. I've little to no issue making it through using that beautiful boat.

[Fletcher]

Yeah, somehow I was able to grab that thing of beauty on my third playthough... My only problem is... I sometimes forget to look at the enemy hull level and my weapons would kill the enemy with my two Mantis commandos onboard.

I hate autofire...

The MK II version doesn't even come with guns XD. Problem solved. It has a 4 man teleporter pad instead.

There are very few problems that cannot be solved by a 4 man Mantis team.

Except for AI ships and ships with the super shield.

So maybe get an ion cannon and a beam drone.

[Fletcher]

Ah, I was using the Mk I. The only Mk II I have is for the Engi Cruiser, or "Drone Ship".

Still, fire bombs on the Rebel Flagship is just awesome. Easily nails the four weapons. Problem is getting the O2 offline, THAT is essential to me to stop all repairs and board/sap the ships systems.

Do you mind if I drop a few spoilers in order to discuss some tactics?

Well spoilerth. Eff it.

Do not kill everyone on board. That is all.

Fire bombs are nice. I like breacher bombs myself. They're pretty essential for getting around that ship's insanely high dodge and shields. I virtually always settle in on nuking the missile command first, followed by the ion cannon. After that she's pretty well neutered.

Then it's on to the engines to remove the dodge and everything else generally follows.

So long as at least one crewman is left alive.
