Picked up FTL at long last on sale. Not today's sale. I bought it cheap yesterday, meager hours before it went uber-cheap.
I love it. It's everything I love about Gratuitous Space Battles rolled into a Roguelike. The crew micro-management is fantastic and fires can be stressful. Duking it out near a star is intense, especially when you don't accept a surrender request because they didn't offer any fuel. I was a bit disappointed the first time I turned down a surrender only to plunder the ship for a fraction of what they offered. The random encounters are fun and I'm worried every time I take a chance fighting some outer-space giant spider or exploring a derelict ship.
This happened to me today after going through a Mantis sector, but I decided I'd sleep on it and play the rest out tomorrow.
I need a shop
e: Nobody can appreciate my crew naming from that shot, but my third crew member was named Bexley. He was killed by a Mantis boarder a few jumps before that screen was taken.
