FTL was a pretty fun game because it was real time. It also had amazing music and art style that made it a very memorable experience. Needing to get through multiple playthroughs to unlock all the ships was, at least in this game's case also a big factor for improving replayability.
I'm not really sure how a fully turn based game like this one is going to do. I don't see much in the way of artstyle or good music here, but we'll have to see I guess. I remain skeptical.

Changing from turn based to real time was worth it though, it prevents first turn advantage which was something that messed with late game. It means that spell casting time matters a lot now which includes using big battlefield buffs. It also lowers the casualties of fleeing enemies which helps people who need to recover troops after a loss and makes it more interesting for the pursuer to wipe out the enemy completely rather than just having slightly faster troops.

Winning with the Kestrel A in Normal mode is pure RNG, but you are supposed to play the game on Easy to unlock more ships (or use the fucking Engi A, which is pretty fucking nice for a starter ship), like the Stealth A or B, which are much more skill based.
Honestly, if after unlocking other ships you are still losing on a regular basis after Sector 2, you are just not making the right decisions. Sure, sometimes the RNG goes full retard on later sectors, but it's rare.
>muh mantis boarding
Improve the doors system and suffocate them to death, fag. Fuck, if you have 5 crewmembers, your fifth should go towards manning the system, and if you don't, you send a guy there when this happens. That or improve the MedBay and bait them there, or doing fuck all if you have a CloneBay. Unless they start boarding an important system, like O2 or the Med/CloneBay, and in case there is not a ship attacking you, which is usually the case on big boarding event, fending them off is dead stupid

No, needing to unlock ships was bullshit. What kind of fun is it to always play the same ship until you run into the random event that lets you unlock one more ship? It's not even like you need skill to unlock content.
If it wasn't for the savegame editor that lets me unlock all the ships I would have given up on FTL after the first hour.
2cae64 No.14378470

Unlocking any ship on a run is easy if you go for it, idiot. Search for events in the wiki, always choose the Homeworlds whenever they come up, or simply go for the Kestrel B layout, which is easy enough to unlock and it is a fucking beast.

There's a pretty solid dev talk on YT where they explore this. A lot of the mechanics of FTL would fall apart if it did not include random elements. However, for their next title they wanted to step away from this. From a design perspective this is interesting, because you won't get those clutch moments when a soldier in, say, XCOM makes a 30 % shot, but you also won't get situations where a member whiffs a 95 % takedown.
Personally, I wanna give it a go.

You sound like a casual who wants everything served to him on a silver platter. Unlocking the different ships and their variants is great because it gives the game a macro-progression outside individual playthroughs. Nobody's going to bother playing through the game 50+ times to find out where all the secrets are, or to see all the unique events that could appear, but people are going to play through the game this many times to unlock all the stuff if they are dedicated enough.

Well yeah, the Crystal ship is bullshit to acquire. I think I got it the original way after 60 hours of total play. Considering it is also about as game breaking as it is hard to acquire, I would say it was a conscious and logical choice.
The Lanius B is also pretty bullshit and achieving it is relatively easy, if time consuming. Still, the most skill based ship is perhaps the Stealth B (speedrun WR) and it is piss easy to acquire. The kind of scrub that complains about FTL being too RNG-y with its unlocks are probably the same kind of scrubs who think Monster Hunter is shit spoiler: look up a guide, my man.

That is my only irk with FTL, the game gives you zero fucking help with those and in the end you just go and get all the stuff spoiled on the wikis.
I know you can unlock them via the ship achievements and by beating the game and that was the challenge that made me do about 260 hours on the game, it was fun and it's still fun from time to time.

The game didn't feel unfinished and even released a free expansion that added a new race and I think two ships along with a bunch of other shit.
