FTL:Redshirt Edition
What is this?
I'm playing FTL:Faster Than Light and I need YOU to give me names for disposable, easily killed crew members!
General game infoThe player controls the crew of a lone spaceship affiliated with The Federation, which is currently on the losing end of a massive rebellion. The objective is to deliver important information to the remains of the Federation fleet in a distant sector. Unfortunately, as those familiar with Roguelikes will suspect, this is far, FAR from easy: the galaxy is an extremely dangerous place for a lone vessel, filled with dangers such as pirates, deadly environmental hazards, rebel scouts, hostile alien races, and others. Not to mention that the vast rebel fleet is in hot pursuit...
FTL has Roguelike elements (Permadeath, starting over when you lose, etc). The player is a member of the Federation, and the Rebels are human supremacists who want to destroy the Federation and oppose aliens. These rebels are not heroic ones. Random events are everywhere, ranging from hostile pirates and rebels to finding a weapon floating around in space, or even giant alien spiders.
Your job is to jump from beacon to beacon untill you can get to the next sector. Sector 8 contains the Final Boss, which is the Rebel Flagship. Destroy that to win. FTL also has upgrading your ship with scrap, random merchants, multiple races such as humans to mantises to crystals, and more.
Possible Ship Layouts (Please note that once the game actually gets going some of this will be changed with a save editor to be.... less overpowered for the early game and more punishing.)
Why am I using only these three ships out of all the other varieties? These ships have a 4-Man Teleporter.
This is a 4-Man teleporter ideal for zerg rushes and mass droves of redshirts dying.
This is a 2-Man teleporter.
These are all the Races in the game.
