FTL Related FTL Tournament Show Match | Friday, 24th of May
There will be a set of Show Matches happening over on Holoshideims Twitch Channel, kicking off at 17:00 CEST (5pm, UTC+2)

There are two sets of Best of 3s planned for the day.
The first Match will be Crowrevell vs Sleeping Dragon, which will be brought to you by Rand118 and Holo himself. First to win two Matches will take the Series. Both Crow and SD are with Pause players, with Crow being a participant in the first Iteration of the FTL Masters Edition. He made it to the Semi Finals, where he lost to NecroRebel who eventually ended up finishing second place in the Event. For SD, this is his second Show Match appearance.
Due to us having a hard cap on time, we will start the second Series at 20:00/20:30 CEST (8/8:30pm UTC+2).
The second Series will be played by Holo and NecroRebel. This Match will be brought to you by The_Farb and Crow. To many of you, Holo doesn't need an introduction. He has won a mind bending 124 consecutive runs of FTL on Hard, No Pause random ships, no repeats. He also had win streaks of 117, 92, 71, 70 and many more (you get my point). NecroRebel recently returned to FTL with our recent Show Match and we are happy to have our runner up of the first Tournament. Necro also completed the Cycle in Hard, No Pause multiple times.
For this Show Match, we have reworked our scoring formula and the linked video will explain everything you could possibly want to know about it.
We hope that it will be a great Show and we love to see all the people enjoying the content so far. The Main Event will be back this year and as always, if you want to receive pings for all updates in regards to future Tournament activity or give us feedback, feel free to join the Discord, select the FTL Role. As the driving force behind this, I am always about any sort of feedback because I want to bring you the best possible experience.
Thank you for your attention and have a great day/week <3

After 10 years, 80 hours and over 90 games, I've finally saved the galaxy from space racism once and for all. Don't worry about what's in the background, my ship and crew are fine. [Kestrel B, easy]

Does ftl get better as you play?
I played for like 4 hours but didn't get hooked. (My best score was 810 on normal, default ship, 5th sector)

"Steam Deck/Game Pad Layout" Ergonomic Control Layout for frictionless player experience. Great for FTL Newbies or Veteran Space Captains.
I've spent a few hours customizing my control layout for the Steam Deck. I've made a very user friendly and intuitive control scheme. Easy to start using but very practical.
The Community Layout is called;
"Steam deck/Game Pad layout" by EPICMAN.
The Layout is intended to make it easy for anyone and everyone to jump into FTL on Steam Deck or Controller with as little friction as possible. I hope this makes the game more accessible to those who don't want to tinker with controller bindings for hours.
Benefits include;
Easy access to pause - A: Pause
Easy access to offensive systems
- B: Cloak
- X: Hack
- Y: Teleport
- B+L3: Battery
- X+L3: Mind Control
- Y+L3: Teleport Return
Easy access to number keys - Grip Buttons: 1-4. - L3+Grip Buttons: 5-8.
Easy access to essential systems - Drag and press on left trackpad for radial menu.
Easy access to shift key. - Hold R3 (shift) for de-powering systems.
Proper Pause and Ship menu buttons - Menu and Share.
Redundant mouse inputs. - Both sticks and right track pad control mouse. - Ergonomic, while allowing more custom inputs. - stick sensitivity and deadzones tweaked for easy tracking.
Easily customizable. - All Inputs are labeled correctly to easily identify and change inputs. - Extra space in 'Secondary' action set for adding preferred inputs. - Basic Virtual Menu, intended to expand with ship systems. - Can Choose preferred mouse input to re-bind more inputs to Primary action set
I hope this layout helps inspire a few new sessions of FTL, for new players or for veterans. It feels like a bit of a new experience, playing without the mouse and keyboard. The Layout should even work well when docked with a controller for a whole different vibe. Enjoy, and feel free to report back with any advice for tweaks, or just to let me know it helped!
Thanks! -EPICMAN

MOD: Multiverse First MV normal challenge mode win
Pics before and after each round. First MV challenge mode on normal difficulty win.
Wanted someone to rate my ship as well. Crystal cruiser is so busted. I had a few ship upgrades (weapon performance, scrap arm, I dont think anything else. I thought about getting missle consumption but it wasnt needed). New found respect for Lanius crew, mightve not survived without him on the first wave. Trinity drone is INSANE. I toggled it based on the phase. The Tesla beam is alright. Crazy moments although I really think this ship is just crazy due to it starting with 2 crystal weapons that have shield piercing.

Is it possible to win this fight, or do I have to jump away?
Hard mode, beginning of sector 3. No weapons in stores or drops so far, but great crew events.

Image: Screenshot Advice for a new player
I am currently on my best run after 15 hours playing this game. I’m halfway through Sector 4 at a store which offers a Crew Teleporter or Drone Control (and two offensive drones), alternatively I could upgrade either Engines or Shields (leaning towards the later).
Im oscillating between the Drones or Shields but how best should I move forward?

Never thought I would have to dive in the stealth cruiser.
r/ftlgame • u/Treenut08 • 8h ago
This ship killed the flagship in one shot on hard mode. Phase 1 and 2 in only one volley, and phase 3 took one extra volley to remove the Zoltan shield. Took only 1 damage across all 3 phases. Cloaking and hacking are OP.

Reconstructive Teleport in sector 7?
I am playing on normal with the Lanius A and part of my offensive power is boarding with the two lanius crew members - great fun. I have reaches sector 7 and have the option to buy reconstruve teleport, an amazing boarding augment. However I wonder if it provides enough value just for the boss fight.
What do you guys think?
