Why don't we just rename this to FTL Game Discussion/Maybe a FTL LP.

I'm tempted to make my own ship from scratch, seeing how it seems somewhat possible to do so.

It looks like you're able to work with ship/weapon stats, sprites, events. The whole works.

Quick, somebody make a CC mod for it.

"Faster Than Cortex Command"

It probably would be, too!

Modding is fun;

JESUS CHRIST look at the energy!

That's not the only thing.

Custom ship sprite, custom ship layout, four man teleporter, six space engine room, Flagship artillery room and system, and custom Railgun weapons.

He's probably got $200 Nike Sneakers somewhere under there too.

I assumed it was the secondary layout of the federation cruiser. It's got a few modifications obviously, but most of it looks standard.

It's not the 2nd layout of the Fed cruiser. Here's it is for comparison:

Arcalane's


2nd Layout


On a related note, how did you guys mod it/get the sprites? I sure some of us want to know how.

That's where I found out and got my tools.

And it still uses up every single bar! Seriously. I have to shuffle power between the medbay/teleporter/etc. even with 35 bars. I'd need a pure-Zoltan crew to run it at around 100%.

The high energy rating is primarily for swift debugging.

Actually, the arty room is a standard feature for the Fed Cruiser's layouts. It's an awesome weapon! I just moved the location of it to better fit the actual weapon location, and changed the room interior sprite.

Railgun summary;

consumes 3 power
fires 1 shot every 15 seconds (without loader skill and augments)
1 hull damage
2 system damage
pierces 2 points of shielding (if the enemy has 3 or more shields, then it smacks into them as normal)
has a very very low chance to cause breaches

Very powerful early on, but much less so later in the game.

I like this game.
The final boss is kind of odd tho.

Its more like a gear check if anything, considering it is vastly stronger than anything else in the game, and has 3 lives.
I managed to (almost) beat it with the engi cruiser type A, but then at stage 3 they boarded me with 8 people, and my crew of 5 couldn't hold them off.

R.I.P

Also, anyone else tried the Zoltan ship?
It has SO LITTLE POWER, I literally NEED a crew member by sector 2 or else the enemy shields will keep me dead.
(It looks kind of odd how Type A and Type B has vastly different layouts.. and then the ship sprite is a recolor.)

Heres some pictures of my exploits

I'm most impressed with you having beat the game on normal.
