Drone systems can also be installed for various uses like attacking the enemy or defending from missiles. Weapons come in five flavours: lasers for general blasting, beam for cutting unshielded hulls and starting fires, missiles for penetrating shields and breaching hulls, teleporting bombs for various uses, and ion for temporarily shutting down systems. Each race has different proficiencies in maintaining or repairing the ship and can eve be used in special context specific encounters, except boring old humans of course.Ĭaption: Not pictured: A semi-psychic teenager, space preacher or psychotic mercenary.

A crew member in the pilot room gives the ship a boost to evasion and is required to charge the FTL drive to jump to the next node, while the crew member in the weapons room speeds up reloading time. The crew can be ordered to occupy different ship systems, such as weapons, shields, FTL drive, to give them a boost in effectiveness or to repair damage from incoming fire. All but one of the ships are locked from the beginning and have to be earned though quite difficult challenges, and each have their own unique play styles. The real guts of FTL is in the micromanagement of your ship and its hapless crew as the game throws constant challenges your way. There are also “distress” nodes, which can give you the choice of helping a ship under attack or can even be a trap set up be devious space pirates. Along the way you will find merchants to replenish your fuel, missiles and drones, repair your ships or to purchase new crew or weapons. The Rebel fleet mechanic acts as a timer for each map as they start taking over portions of the map, basically making a Rebel occupied node impossible to defeat/run from. Each star map is made up of nodes to travel to and random encounters to overcome. There are snippets of meta-plot here and there about the different races you meet, but otherwise the tale is about the journey rather than the details. The basic premise is you’re piloting a Federation ship laden with juicy information about the Rebel fleet, who just happen to be chasing you relentlessly. It’s the mix of strategy, micromanagement and luck which makes FTL so addictive, and also so punishing. Perma-death, random encounters and somewhat overwhelming odds are the staples of FTL and as such completing the game will require a certain level of game mechanic mastery to complete. Of course, my disastrous space-military career is based in the imaginary Federation of FTL: Faster Than Light, an indie rougelike-like space sim created by Subset Games and funded by a Kickstarter campaign. Why crews continue to sign up to my ill-fated squadron I’ll never know. Each starship crew valiantly stared down death, and all subsequently were jettisoned into the cold dark void of space. The constant threat of defeat adds importance and tension to every action.Under my watch countless brave men, women, bug-people, rockoids and robots have been sent to their doom in defence of the Federation.
