Faster Than Light just entered closed beta for those of us who weren't too jew to pledge to it on kickstarter. It is a rougelike game in which you control a spaceship as it soars through the endless void. Focus is on managing your crew and systems rather than doing the actual flying. this is literally the first time I click the "start game" button, so this is as blind as it gets! In before LP abandoned on page 2!

There are multiple ships to pick from (though most are locked right now). So we'll go with the default, rechristened the CSS Butthurt.
You will notice it it crewed by our beloved Codex staff. Yes, you can name your crew members. I'm sure you've all read enough codex LPs to know what this means

Rest of the update spoiler'ed to make the page load less images.

Spoiler
Toggle Spoiler

Every sector has an exit node that leads to the next sector. The rebels gradually take control of the sector you're in, so eventually you'll have to continue. Sectors have progressively harder enemies.

Here is the main game screen.
Hull and shields are shown at the top. Shields regenerate, hull does not. If you run out of hull points, your ship breaks apart and everyone dies a horrible death in the cold void between the stars.
Also at the top is your oxygen supply (generated by life support), your evasion chance for incomign fire (generated by engines), your fuel (used for FTL jumps), missiles/drone parts (used by somne weapons), your scrap inventory, your hyperspace jump button and the ship details button.
Along the bottom, from left-to right we have the power generator (leftmost column), main systems with allocated power, weapon systems and subsystems.
Main systems and weapons draw power from the generator. they can run at less than full power for decreased efficiency. some systems have a silhouette above their power bar. This means they can be boosted further by posting crew in their rooms on the ship.
Weapons cannot be partially powered (all or nothing) and have a charge bar on the left. Once fully charged, a weapon can be fired at an enemy, usually targetted at a specific part of the enemy ship.
Subsystems are like normal systems, except they require no power and cannot be depowered. (but they can still be damaged).
From left to right, the systems are:
shields, engines, Life Support, Medbay, Weapons, Piloting, Sensors and Doors

The ship overview has 3 tabs. The upgrades tab lets you spend scrap metal to upgrade your systems, subsystems and generator. Upgrading a system means you can allocate more power to it for increased efficiency. (Assumin you have power enough in your generator to spare).

The crew manifest shows you who you currently have on board and... apparently allows you to flush people into space.

The equipment tab shows you other gear you have available for installation.

Now that we know what's what, let's get started. I allocate generator power to engines and weapons, then bee (currently in piloting) hits the HYP0RSPACE BUTTAN!

This is the current sector. We can only see the jump destinations from systems we've already visited. Some systems have special properties discovered once you get in range. Such as this distress beacon. Let's check it out...

In this update we continue the adventures of CSS Butthurt

Spoiler
Toggle Spoiler

Most sectors start with a text event the first time you visit them. Here, some Engi have run out of fuel and unreasonably ask if we'll save them from drifting around until they run out of atmosphere and die. Events are influenced by your systems, upgrades, inventory and past dealings with the race in question.

Since we want to remain nice with the Engi (there's an achievement for them liking us really, really well that unlocks a stealth ship) we give in to their jewish demands.

and they reward us with an ion gun. Ion guns do no damage and do not bypass shields like missiles. But they immediately (temporarely) disable systems they hit.

With nothing further to do here (well, I suppose we COULD attack the Engi now that they just gave us their weapon. But we're trying to remain nice to Engi for now) we jump on to the next system.

And are greeted by filthy pirate scum. They want our jewmetals!

We offer them laz0rs instead

Since the enemy ship has shields, I reroute power to laser and ion cannon.

My laser pops their shield bubble and I immediately follow up with an ion blast to disable their shield generator and keep them from recharging. Unfortunately, the pirate guns manage to damage my aft section and start a fire!

Oh hell no! You're not going anywhere! I quickly shift power from ion cannon to missiles and prepare to target the scout ships engines.

The immediate threat is averted, but the fire in the aft section is spreading. I could send crew into the room to fight the fire, but since there ar eno not-burning squares in there the crewmember would take damage doing so. This damage, in turn, can be healed in the medbay.

However, since this is an exterior section I instead opf for opening the airlock doors and venting the atmosphere into space to kill the fires.

Notice how the room has turned pink. this is because there is no oxygen in it. Crew in rooms with no oxygen take rapid damage. Oxygen is replenished by life support. I close the airlock and soon things are back to normal.

Scrap metal is spent to upgrade systems (forgot to screenshot) and I jump on to the next beacon.

A store -- guess I should've saved my scrap

Oops, never mind. No way I could afford this. Notice additional systems avaiable: Drone control and crew teleporter.

With nothing to do I continue jumping. Notice the "WARNING" bubble slowly spreading as rebels swarm across the sector.

Next sector has another pirate. Notice the system in the aft section. Crew teleporter! Uh-oh...

Boarders teleport into our weapons control and start damaging it. Grunker is sent to repel the boarders.

Fierce fighting continues. The enemy shield generator is disabled. Zed is keeping our shields up while Grunker appears to be winning the fight in weapons control. However, our life support is out and there is a hull breach in there as well. We're venting atmo!

We decline the pirates surrender. Grunker already killed the boarders and we have plenty of hull left. We'll get more salvage by blowing up their ship.

but the dastardly enemy has missiles! Engines are taken out and a fire starts. With a hull breach, a fire and no life support, we're quickly running out of oxygen!

Grunker is sent to the medbay

TAKE THAT PIRARE SCUMBAGS!

Glorious salvage is ours! Jewmetal in paticular is welcome since we'll need to pay for some repairs.

Grunker is sent to repair the hull breaches, but not beign able to breathe rapidly takes its toll on him

RIP Grunker. I should've sent you to the medbay sooner
Our oxygen level is now so low the entire ship is beginning to suffer atmospheric decompression.

Zed bravely fixes the secondary hull breach at great personal cost. RIP Zed

At least Bee-chan is saf... Wait. Oh, fuck. The life support system needs to be fixed as well!

C'mon Bee! you can salvage this! I beleive in you!

RIP Bee.

Well, this was a learning experience. Who is brave enough to pilot the next ship. First voulenteer gets to be captain and pick a ship name!

Nope. But I COULD have sent more people to fix the breeches sooner (like during the fight) and cycle them to the medbay. This was an easy encounter that went horribly pear-shaped because I didn't realize the importance of hull breaches until it was too late. This was literally the first game I played.

"Why", exclaimed the shipwright, "did they name their ship after a brand of vacuum cleaners?"
"Because", retorted the dockworker, "the crew is expected to suck!"

High-fives were exchanged as The Nilfisk set off into the darkness of space.

Update spoiler'ed to make page load faster.

Spoiler
Toggle Spoiler

Having learned from the cautionary tale of the CSS Butthurt, the crew of the Nilfisk actually man their ship systems. Captain Azira remains at the helm while Mrowak and felipepepe man engines and shields respectively.

After the jump we have two firsts.
Firstly, it's our first encounter with the warlike Mantis race. these guys are bad at repairs but receive nasty bonuses to hand-to-hand combat. And as you can see on the enemy ship, they have a crew teleporter.

Secondly, we're in a nebula. This means that our sensors are offline and we can only see the rooms we have crew inside on our ship.

Intruders are detected. Felipepepe starts sweeping the ship for them.

Mantismen are discovered in the armory. Mrowak is diverted from shields to help out, as 2:1 odds should offset the mantismans natural advantage when it comes to fightan.

No sooner is the boarder repelled than the mantis ship fires a missile at the armory, injuring our crew and causing a hull breach! I've been focusing our weapons on suppressing the enemy shields and disabling their teleporter so they can't sent more mantispeople over.

Mrowak is sent to medical while Felipepepe paches the hull breach. Our missiles finally blow up the mantis ship.

Precious jewmetal!

While travelling in nebula regions, the rebel advance doomclock is delayed. So we keep doing this despite the lack of sensors.

A tourist trap is encountered. they offer fuel for drone parts, but we have insufficient parts to trade. also, for some reason Mrowak and Felipepepe aren't healing in medical

...Oh, right. I forgot to divert power back to it. D'oh!

Once everyone is healed and systems repaired, Felipepepe and Mrowak resume their positions at shields and engines

A pitiful, shieldless drone ship awaits us in the next sector. Azira orders all hands to battle stations

Weapons systems are disabled first to minimize damage to the Nilfisk. The drone manages to land a few salvoes before we take out his guns. the crew starts repairs.

We get a bunch of handy mapnotes from the nearby space station after the drone is dealt with.

Distress beacons seem to yield th emost profitable encounters, so we'll go for those.

Oh, nice. There are actual, multi-system quests too!

The rebel scum aren't interested in negotiating. Good, neither are we.

A salvo of missiles are sent to suppress return fire ASAP

Followed by shields. At this point I stop spending valuable missiles and simply focus laz0rs on engines. The rebels are utterly bumraped and surrender.

TAKE NO PRISONERS!

Minor repairs are conducted while we wait for the FTL drive to recharge.

Next stop is a trading post. Good, we could do with some repairs.

They have additional crew available. Since we apparently can't rename them and none of them have any useful shills, we don't hire any.

Hull is repaired. The remaining scrap is spent on fuel and missiles.

Speaking of crew skills, let's check ours.
Captain Azira has spent all his time at the helm. unsurprisingly, his only noteworthy skill at the moment is piloting.

Meanwhile, Felipepepe has gained valuable repair experience as well as hand to hand skillz from fighting motherfucking insects

Meanwhile, Mrowak has mainly practiced yelling "I cannae break the laws o physics cap'n! I dinnae have the powa!"

With nothing left to do in this system, we spool up the warp drive.

Make it so!

Continued:
The Nilfisk contines exploring the first sector!

Spoiler
Toggle Spoiler

Next system, the Nilfisk is given the choice of exploring an asteroid field. Not one to shirk danger, captain Azira orders full speed ahead.

And of course we run into more filthy pirates
Fighting in asteroid fields means your ship will periodically get hit by asteroids. This makes maintaining shields critical, as asteroids bounce off shields but really fuck up your shit if they impact with the hull.

The enemy shield and weapons are swiftly disabled. They surrender but captain Azira will have none of it.

Remember what I said about asteroids? Yeah. We basically lean back and let flying space rocks take care of the enemy now that their shields are ogne and weapons disabled.

Rebel bubble is kinda expanding fast now. the Nilfisk should probably begin heading towards the sector jump beacon.

It should be obvious by now the meat of the game consists of blowing up pirate scum.

Notice the hunter-killer drone hovering over our engine room. so long as the enemy drone control is active, it'll continue shooting at us.

Fighting is fierce. Life support is damaged and our hull has received a beating. The enemy shields and weapons are damaged. The drone was disabled for a while but their crew managed to repair it. Still, we're not going to let filthy rebels get away with their lives intact.

Mrowak and Felipepepe rush to repair life support. Meanwhile our armory is destroyed and fire erupts. Notice how I opened the airlocks and flushed 4 rooms? Yeah, half my fucking ship was on fire. Since the rebel ships systems are all operational again, we're taking a real pummelling. It's doubtful we'll be able to reestablish atmo and repair weapons before getting utterly bumraped. Fortunately, our FTL drive is recharged. A tactical retreat is in order!

We head for a "store" beacon. We're kind of low on jewmetal, but we desperately need hull repairs.

Our ship is still burning from the rebel encounter. I vent a few more sections of atmo. It's generally faster than having your crew fight the fire, but it does make large sections of the ship inaccessible for a while until pressure is reestablished. Also, if life support is damaged while parts of the ship are already vented you're pretty fucked.

Fortunately this isn't the case here. Jewmetal is paid, hull is reestablished, subsystems are fixed, fires are choked, atmosphere reestablished and crew healed.

...and with that we head to the sector exit.

We still have an ok amount of fuel. And 5 rokkits is too nice to pass up.

Rebels closing in and no unexplored systems next to the exit beacon. It's time to continue on to next sector.

You have a choice of sectors with every jump. Some are definately more "extreme" than others, offering bigger challenges and higher rewards. Since we're low on fuel, have no new systems and a gamaged hull, we opt for the "civilian" sector.

These are the journeys of the starship Nilfisk. Its ongoing mission: To outrun rebels, seek out pirates and blow them up, to boldly vent hull sections no same man has vented before!

The crew manifest shows you who you currently have on board and... apparently allows you to flush people into space.

In the grim future of FTL, being fired is kind of a permanent outcome. As expected, the game looks awesome. Given the choice, Comrade Lightbane will join the Federation to battle these bloody Rebels .

The adventures of Nilfisk, sector II

Spoiler
Toggle Spoiler

Next system map. The exit sits in a bigass nebula. Not sure if incline.

Another escort quest greets us after the first jump. Eh, why not. They pay decently up front.

It will take a couple of jumps to get there though.

Journey starts out uneventful

We definately want this deal. We're nearly out of fuel.

The trade outpost has alien crewmembers for sale. Let's have a look at their racial bonuses:

All very fascinating. I ultimately opt to spend all our scrap repairing the hull instead and jump to finish the escort quest.

Great. couldn't you have told me you'd fix my hull BEFORE I went and spent all my scrap on fixing it!?

Motherfucker...

Since the rebels seem to be in a hurry it's time to explore the nebula (this'll make us harder to track, delaying the rebels advance)

A drone scout greets us. Its threat rating is minimal. But the payout is nice.

We jump to the next sector. Since the Federation are our BROs, we decide to investigate.

Oops. Fortunately no drone or tellyporta room. We still have mizzilez left to disable their guns.

which utterly castrates them.

As you can see from the sector map, so long as we're in the nebula the rebels expansion is roughly halved. For this reason, I intend to explore as much of the nebula as possible.

Next system has a trader. We're still too short on cash for the real goodies, but they do have several new augmentations for us to salivate over.

Oops. Trader wasn't inside nebula. The "warning" circle shows systems we DON'T want to fly to, 'cause rebels will arrive there next.

Since mantis have attacked us in the past and we can't afford their goods, Captain azira orders all batteries to open fire!

Borders are repelled. Felipepepe and Mrowak fight to keep our guns shootan long enough to suppress the enemy ship.

Atmo eventually drops so far they're forced to divide their efforts.

Cue time to disable engines

Exit is reached. But we still have time to spare, so we opt to explore a few systems more.

Uh oh...

A large number of human invaders teleport into engines. Mrowak quickly flees to armory and links up with Azira and Felipepepe

The fighting is brutal. I withdraw crew to medical just before they die, but this means the crew to remain take damage at an even faster rate. Several near-misses almost kill both Mrowak and Azira!

Eventually the invaders fight all the way to medical. A tactical error, as medical only heals our crewmembers. Combat quickly shifts in our favour.

with boarders repelled, we rush to repair life support and engines!

Once systems are operational again, we head for the sector exit a short distance ahead of the rebel scum!

The Nilfisk, Sector III!

Spoiler
Toggle Spoiler

Right, since we have some scrab gathere by now, I'm going to upgrade our shields. for every 2 bars our shield system has, we get another shield bubble. 3 bars won't be enogh to get us a second bubble, but the shield wll recharge faster and we'll have the remaining scrap soon™

Yeah. When the sector map said this was a nebula sector, it meant it!

A trivial scout encounter with a twist. If the scout escapes, the rebels gain a large amount of sector advancement!

So we blow up the engines. then the rest of the scout.

Stuff is repaired and shields are upgraded to 2 full bubbles!
Note that we're running kind of low on generator bars. We can't power shields and engines without disabling one of our weapons and/or the medbay. Gotta do something about that. When we have more jewmetal.

Speaking of jewmetal, this looks promising!

JESUS CHRIST IT HURTS AND STINGS!
The goddamn ship has missiles which ignore our 2 glorious shield bubbles. The first missile takes out piloting, which makes us a sitting duck. We're out of missiles and hull is critical!

We manage to defeat the rebe, but our ship is in bad shape. Unless we find a merchant soon, we're gonna be in deep shit. fortunately we got a ton of scrap. Ish. Generator is upgraded. Rest of the scrap will be saved for hull repairs.

With no immediate fires killing us (literally), let's look at how the crew are progressing!

Azira is becoming quite capable at piloting but not much else.

felipepepe is no longer useful at fightan and is getting really good at repairing busted life support systems.

Meanwhile, Mrowak knows how to fix engines like a true Engineer!*
(*I'm so very, very sorry)

Exploration continues. We really need to find a store before another ship encounter.

SONUVA!

The boarders attack the engine. Mrowak retreats to link up with the crew. I should've vented the aft section atmo immediately here.

Instead, we have fierce fighting in the armory. Engines and life support are offline.

Felipepepe and Mrowak fall to invader gunfire before they can retreat to the medbay.
RIP Mrowak and Felipepepe

Azira prepares to enact GLORY PROTOCOL

Atmosphere is vented. Screams can be heard from the lost sections of the Nilfisk. Azira aims his guns at the doors, mindful of his ammunition reserves. The last bullet is for himself.

The invateds break into the medbay! The hull is sealed to buy Azira time to repair life support on the one in a million chance he survives!

GLORY!

Alas, despite Aziras valiant resistance, he is overcome by the machete rape gang.
RIP Azira!
