What's New:

• ⚔️ The Chonkestrel now fights three ships at once.
• 🛡️ Twice the hull, but it's a big target: easier to hit and harder to cloak.
• 🚀 Two engines and two sensors: lose an engine and you stop dodging, and each sensors system watches one enemy.
• ⛽ Burns twice the fuel, but starts with twice as much.
• 🏴‍☠️ Bigger boarding parties, growing through the run.
• ⚡ Reactor goes up to 100.
• 👥 169 more crew names, plus name presets (English, Irish, Scottish, Japanese, Star Wars, Star Trek and more).

I've disabled all their weapons, but got hacked in my own, so everytime my weapons get fully loaded, they activate the hack and the weapon energy gets reduced to 0, so I can't fire. I can board, but I'm not able to destroy the medbay. What to do?

What's New:

• ⚔️ Fights two enemy ships at once. The Rebel Flagship is just as chonky, so it still comes alone.

• 🚀 Starts like the vanilla Kestrel and grows into a monster as you upgrade.

• 🛸 Room for 6 drones, two hacking, two mind control and two batteries.

• 📦 8 cargo slots and 6 augments.

• 💠 Zoltan Shields stack, up to 6.

• 🗺️ 16 sectors per run, with sector maps twice as big.

• 🛒 Stores twice as big.

• 🎨 Cockpit centred, hull cleaned up, and all 8 guns no longer look like they're shooting each other.

Hey everyone !

It's been almost a year since I discovered FTL, thanks to Into The Breach, their second game.

I've noticed that the specs to run both games are very, very modest, as compared with other "minimalistic" turn-based games. In fact, they both run very smoothly on old machines (like my Thinkpad x201).

Many games that look "simple" don't run as well (or not at all) on ancient hardware, which makes me wonder: why ? How did the devs make a game so reasonable on resource consumption ?

Thanks in advance for your answers !

On my least favourite ship zoltan A too lol; I got a flak I early and it paired very well with Halberd beam I think. I think I will aim for a hard mode now. You guys have any tips?

Hi all.

I can't understand how to beat it.

Even with 3 shields, decent weapons and some defense drones I am completely overwhelmed every time.

I'm playing on normal->advanced difficulty

I'm pretty sure there are those who have beaten that AI even on the hardest difficulty.

Can you help a little?

I've had two cases recently where my crew has boarded the enemy ship and I leave them to punch down some systems for XP while the lone remaining enemy crew is repairing shields or something. Then I click away to look at a different window like my web browser or whatever for a moment, then click back to the game and notice that the enemy ship has shifted to "neutral" status and the fight is over even though the enemy crew is still repairing systems. At no point was there any kind of surrender prompt.

Is this known behavior, or is there perhaps something I'm overlooking on my end where I'm actually somehow ending these battles by my own actions without realizing it?

Looks to me a .exe, i have the ftl game folder with mods folder too, dont have steam workshop
