Yay more FTL is always a good thing! I still play it occasionally even after 100+hours.

FTL HAS NOW GONE ADVANCED!
HARD MODE UNLOCKED!
A SHIP WITH LOTS OF POINTY BITS ADDED!
And a bunch of other updates here and there. Hovering the cursor over a beacon now displays all the other beacons within reach of that one, should help avoid those unfortunate moments when you jump to a beacon only to discover that you have nowhere to go from there. A hotkey for returning your crewmembers to their designated stations have also been added. As well as new weapons, races, events and a whole heap of stuff. All for the low-low price of NOTHING to existing FTL owners.
It's also out on iPad. 9 euros. Instabuy for me. Downloading now. :)

Played it on easy today with advanced features on. Got boarded three times, and the third boarding party blew my ship to pieces. At least the invaders went down with me. Good times! :D

Wooohooooo - I can probably play this on my decrepit laptop too :D

It's not as fluid as playing the PC version with mouse and keyboard, but not a clunky mess like the iPad version of Frozen Synapse either. Some of the controls are downright elegant, like how you can swipe up or down over a system to increase or decrease it's power, and the way you swipe over crewmembers to select several of them. It's... damn near as good as the PC version! :thumb:

Well, FTL is still great and I love some of the new features, especially saving the crew location and also the line-based weapons now lighting up rooms they'll affect so you can create maximum destruction :devil:
However, the game appears to be unstable on my crummy laptop and I get a CTD after about 10-20 minutes of play, so yeah, fuck :/

If any of you fatties don't have FTL, I suggest you rectify that situation RIGHT NOW.

I almost think it's better. There's just something about commandeering a space ship via touch controls that feels so fitting.
Though I'm still having the same amount of luck on the iPad as I did during the couple of games I played on the PC. I can get to the flagship easily enough, but I can't ever seem to beat it.

No Andoid version though, right?
I always thought FTL, with its fairly simple interface and graphics, might be one of the games that might actually work well on a phone / tablet.

In my opinion balance in AE is broken. The game became even more random. New equipment comes in handy practically only by rivals because they are too weak to be our major weapons ( no chance to defeat stronger enemies or final boss )and it is still not enough money ( normal ) to do bad/unnecessary shopping. Triumph of form over content
