Zero Punctuation: FTL: Faster Than Light - Exploding Spaceships

[IrisNetwork]

What dry spell? Do Amazing Spider Man 2!!

If you want your Star Trek Captain fantasy then get Artemis, although you will need four other friends to play it with

 

[Waddles]

So uh... did you like it?

I wonder why he didn't mention the stuff they added in the AE update.

I remember taking out the flagship once because I was lucky enough to have maxed my shields and acquire a full battery of four Burst Laser Mk. II's. It was mostly a matter of waiting for them all to charge, then blitzing the weapon rooms.

Oh, and if you have a cloning bay instead of a med bay you can just sacrifice your boarding parties like an unlimited supply of redshirts to throw at your enemy. Choke their engines with their corpses!

There are people who play like Picard, while others act like Khan. And then some play like Zapp.

The biggest problem I had with FTL is the first time I played through it... I won. I slammed it out in about 45 minutes, and... then what? Because the whole point of FTL, I was told, is to keep doing better and better each time until you finally succeed.

But I was hugely disappointed in my sudden victory. What then? Take steps backward by playing and losing?
