I remember the first time that happened to me–I thought, “Yes, I beat it! … wait, what?” string of expletives

Postscript: After The Battle, Friede, Freude, Eierkuchen
And they lived happily ever after. Perhaps our heroes were feted as saviours of peace and justice, or perhaps they were quietly forgotten as reminders of the Federation High Command’s gross incompetence
If we’re honest, the storyline of FTL doesn’t really bear close examination.
For completeness, the final victory splash;
and the session stats;
That was a nice game and we got an achievement for winning with a new ship, so I’m happy with that. I was pretty confident about the win once we got into the sixth sector and the scrap starting piling up.
There was some less than optimal play. I mentioned forgetting to launch a defence drone, but there were a couple of points in the flagship battle where I just forgot to fire a charged weapon, should have sent a boarding party or chosen the burst laser instead of the missile. I also skipped over a couple of slightly cheesy double jumps to ensure that the crew were at full health.
That said, we took 22 hull damage in total during the flagship battle, so we’d have survived even without the magic hull repair drone.
One last thought:
It really is almost a decade since FTL was launched, and I still come back to it because nothing, not even ITB, surpasses it.
Oh yes.
Thank you all for reading along. It was fun to fly in company.

“Most crew hired:16.”
Considering we get a crew capacity of 8, I can only imagine the carnage that happened on that ship

Loved this and would look forward to another edition in the future. Also, if you offer consulting so that I can maybe beat the game just once, please name your fee.

Wow, that game over screen was pretty much recycled completely for ItB, huh?
Given how much I love and come back to Into the Breach, I imagine this would appeal to me quite a bit, even if the gameplay is not quite in my SRPG sweet spot. As such, I’m using it as self-motivation. Once I finish the story I am working on, then and only then will I fire up FTL. So it will be a long time yet.
