Recently I decided to follow a kind of "trend" from the Holo and started playing without hacking. It feels like the game has become much more interesting and varied, honestly. For example, drones have become much more useful, because now you don't need to save drone parts and the system slot, and you can regularly use a defense drone, a hull repair drone, or a setup of two combat 1 drones for gunships even without drone recovery arm. Moreover, there is more scrap in the first sectors for other improvements...

I've heard great things about this game like how it's an amazing roguelike and people frequently say they always come back to it and have hundreds of hours but after a few playthroughs it just seems like a bad and boring roguelike to me. The progression system is abysmal and the RNG seems badly implemented because I always feel like the game thinks and expects me to have more resources than I do....

Wayyyy too hard and rng reliant to be worth playing anymore. Edit: Thanks for the awards guys and this is probably the biggest topic this games ever gotten, clearly the vast majority of people here agree with me. hoping ftl2 can fix this if there is one, this is a really great game and concept but phew! edit 2: this is clearly the biggest thread in this games history a lot of agreeing and stuff plus all the awards showing support. lads we really cooked on this one our voices are heard...

any game with combat like FTL, way you move your crew, etc, but not being chased, where you can freely explore and start with maybe a small ship then upgrade to bigger ones etc.? Thank you in advance for suggestions.

Hey guys, couldn't find that much infos regarding that topic but when you die after a certain time, do you get rewarded anything to start at a better position? If not, knowledge is everything I gain? Regarding this game has intense RNG for almost every ocasion (helping that help signal, oh no, intruders..) where is the benefit in playing all over again? Thanks...
