How far have you gotten in FTL

[Frybird]

Sector 8 once, but didn't manage to fight the flagship.

...all on Easy

..but yeah, losing is mostly fun, once managed to have my entire ship on fire (save the pilot's seat), won the battle, lost the war

...yesterday i learned that people can get sucked out of hull breaches...

This is for you.


On the topic: Buying it now.

On easy mode, I got to sector 8 with 5 crew members, with a person with rank 2 in all the positions, and rank 4 shields. Though, I never was able to upgrade my weapons. Then I got invaded by boarders by a frigate, and then torpedo'd to death.
I also had a fun instance where, in sector 7, I ran out of fuel and missiles, and was stuck fighting a ship with level 2 shields and low weapons, though a rather high dodge chance. The fight took 15 minutes for me to reduce the enemy to eventual surrender, allowing me to actually escape.

On normal, I've gotten to sector 3 before dying in a multitude of ways. In my current run, I'm in 3 and I'm doing okay.

I got to the enemy flagship, but couldn't get past the 2nd incarnation because of my shitty weapon choice. I had an Ion Bomb and a 3-shot laser, and a boarding drone.

The problem with using the boarding drone on a ship like the flagship is it has compartments (guns) that are completely separate from the rest of the ship. This is useful in its own way since if you beam crew over to a compartment like that, then the enemy is helpless to stop you and can't repair the damage you do afterwards, but a boarding drone in one of those compartments becomes useless for the remainder of the fight, since you can't withdraw it and it won't go away until its destroyed.

This left my Ion Bomb and Laser woefully inadequate for taking down their powerful shields

Have yet to beat the 2nd form of the final boss :/ Considering i only bought it yesterday tho, reckon that isn't too bad.

Have unlocked the stealth ship though so yey!

Furthest I've made it on Hard was 3rd Form of boss.

Furthest I've made it on Nightmare was level 6 or maybe 7.

I've gotten to sector 8 on normal. I was doing really well one time but I ended up only having laser weapons, and even with a full volley I couldn't break through to the hull of the sector 8 standard ships.
Always keep missile launchers handy, kids.

I wish this game had a sandbox mode. This game is a lot more fun to play than it is to win. Flagship battle wasn't too bad, but that's because I had killed most of the crew in the second battle (they had 1 guy left on a gun) Using a cloak to avoid the super-weapon stuff helps a lot and I had 55% evasion, so that helped mitigate damage greatly. I kept blasting holes in the hull with bombs and multiple fires started in other areas.(which is how the crew died)

Really it feels like luck is the biggest factor that determines if you are able to win.

 

[R3dF41c0n]

I've only made it to Sector 5. Even though I keep dying I love this game.

 

[Furioso]

I've beaten it twice... I can also consistently beat Binding of Isaac... maybe I have a knack for rogue-likes?

 

[Loop Stricken]

I get to the end, then I discover my ship can't damage the boss, and die horribly.
This is a depressingly regular state of affairs.

 

[ShadowKatt]

So I'm not the only one playing this game then? Wow.

I've made it to stage 8, but I died pretty soon in. I think I've run about a dozen games, died every time. This game is hard as hell even on easy, and yet still so fun.

 

[rayen020]

Wow... Just reread original post. God i sound like a spam/ad bot. Guess i'm just having lots of fun... Got section 8 finally... Met the flagship sans missles, burst laser couldn't get through the shields. It didn't end well. Happy though kept my 2of my original crew alive the whole game.

 

[Geo Da Sponge]

Well, I just did another run in the standard ship you start with. I managed to reach the final boss, and in fact defeated his second form. Unfortunately my ship exploded at the exact same moment (you have to get pretty lucky to be able to reach a repair station between boss forms).

 

[winginson]

Did a stealth run with the stealth cruiser. Got to boss fight and realised I had no shields or decent guns. Heh.

Hard game usually die to the boss or when you meet a double shielded enemy just a bit to early. They usually take out my engines first.

DAMN YOU MANTIS BOARDING PARTIES!

Gaah! And I was so close to having 29 power bars on the Zoltan ship, too.
