What is the FTL file extension? FTL: Faster Than Light. All ships - how to open? Ftl faster than light ships are open

The former owner of this cruiser, famous in certain circles, is Captain KazaaakpletKilik.

Initial equipment:

Fuel: 16; Rockets: 16; Drones: 0; Crowbar: 10; Energy: 7

Unlock:

Meet with Captain KazaaakpletKilik in the Mantis Worlds sector. In order to complete the quest, your ship must have a transportation system installed and a medical compartment upgraded to the second level.
During the battle with the captain, without destroying his ship, transport one of the officers on board the enemy, find the captain and move him to your medical compartment. All actions must be performed as quickly as possible, the captain may die in the process, and you will not be able to get the ship.

Comments:

The team has three Mantis and one Angie. A unique “Mantis Pheromones” system is installed on board, which speeds up the movement of your ship’s personnel. The weapons are simple: a small bomb launcher and a laser turret. The ship does not have a sensor system, but a transportation system is pre-installed - the team’s powerful boarding attacks should become your main weapon.

Ship: Mantis Cruiser (type B)

Who needs guns!

Comments:

Personnel on board: two Mantis and two drones (boarding and protecting the ship's hull). A sensor system and a unique Mantis Pheromones system are installed, the transport compartment accommodates four crew members and is located next to the medical compartment. There are no weapons at first, but there are two energy shields.

Faster Than Light (FTL) is amazing.

Roguelike in space

A space game with an emphasis on combat and micromanagement

I won't hide some things in my Space games Rush, which I have been making for a long time, I took from FTL. In one of latest versions I added the ship's crew and its leveling up, another interesting RPG element.

I wrote about it here:

The game is somewhat similar to , but in general it is roguelike and the analogies are more from this genre. Any game with dungeons and one life can be used as an example, but what adds to the charm of the game is that everything happens in space.

Next, you can read the game manual, descriptions of races, equipment and weapons. I understand that I’m writing this kind of material a bunch of years after the game was released, but actually normal (and even bad ones) There are not many guides for similar games, so I think someone will read this for the first time and it will be useful. I couldn’t find such a description in Russian, so I sat and translated a lot from English sources.

Describe the main systems of the ship (weapon bay, engine, etc.) I won’t, since the principles of their operation are quite simple.

You can learn about this from my video, which is at the very end of the article.

Races in the game and their features

These guys... And some others

• People- as always and in all games, people are not particularly different. Except that their price is quite low in the store. Their lives are average, their combat capabilities are average, but they learn a little (+10%) faster. Station wagons;

• Angie, I think it comes from the word “Engineers”. These guys wear hoodies and sweatshirts, they cost a little more than people, but they don’t know how to fight in close combat, the damage is 50% of the norm. But they repair things twice as fast as others, which is quite useful;

• Mantis. Someone who looks like a praying mantis. Conditional alien beetle. Price 55 in the store (Angie had 50, people had 45). This is essentially the opposite of Angie’s stuff. Mantis do not like science and repairs, they repair everything twice as slow, but run 20% faster, and they also have 50% more damage than others. Extremely strong guys for teleportation to the enemy side and defense;

• Rockmen. The name of these big guys is difficult to translate, but you can type - stoneheads, people of stone. They cost 55, walk very slowly, but they have a big plus, 150 lives, while the norm is 100. The guys are slow, but tenacious, which is very useful in this game. In addition, they are not damaged by fire, and they extinguish it 67% faster than others. In general, very safe guys;

• Zoltans(Zoltan) are some analogues of conditional elves. Energy aliens. They cost 60, but they only have 70 lives. When they die, they explode... It seems that the guys have complete disadvantages, but they add one energy point to the compartment they are working with for free, and this is a very useful thing;

• Slug- snails. They are cheap, 45. They do not crawl slowly. In terms of parameters, everything is the same as for people. The trick is that they show neighboring rooms and are immune to mind control. So-so chips, people look more interesting;

• Crystals- these are big guys that resemble stoneheads in appearance. Price 60, life 125. Movement speed -20% of normal. Choking affects them 50% less (from lack of oxygen), but they put out the fire a little slower than the others. In general, this is some kind of sub-race of stoneheads;

• Lanius- available only in the additional version.

What are we going to shoot with? Weapon

We are burning, but we also set fire to the undergrowth and the enemy with a laser beam

• Rockets. They are very strong in this game, but there is a drawback: they require consumables. Rockets, along with money, fuel and drones, are the main game resource. They can be knocked out of enemies or bought. Missiles are cool because they always penetrate shields; energy shields do not protect against missile weapons at all, so when I see missiles from enemies, I try to disable their weapon systems, because the damage will be in any case if it hits. Shields won't save you. The damage of the missiles is quite good, in short, there are almost no downsides, except that you need to spend more money on consumables. But if you only have 1 missile, then you may only need the missiles you knock out of your enemies;

• Laser and lasers. The main weapon of general lethality in the game. Choose a target and attack. Lasers are not required Supplies, they just shoot, but require energy to work in principle (like other weapons and systems). Some types of lasers fire in bursts, and such a burst can cut off shields, especially if you shoot not just one weapon at the same time, but several at once. When hit, the laser takes away one shield unit per shot. Overall, lasers are good, handy, and versatile weapons;

• Ions and ion weapons. This weapon does not cause damage, but disables the enemy ship's systems. An extremely good weapon of indirect action, because by turning off shields, for example, you can freely hit the enemy with other weapons or drones, and the ability to instantly disable the enemy’s weapon systems helps enormously. The downside of this weapon is that it is quite energy-consuming; it is not the cheapest. And then you are faced with a choice, either install an ion cannon, turning off something there, or for the same energy you can normally shoot with the same laser, causing direct damage. Direct damage will have to be dealt in any case... Although ions work well together with drones or simply as an addition to the main guns;

• Rays. In fact, this is a laser, in our classical understanding. A line of light and energy that burns everything in its path, but in the game they called something else a laser, so there may be confusion. You direct the beam into one compartment, and then select another, and it seems to follow a path from the first to the second, burning everything along the way. The beams cannot miss, so a cool pilot and engine will not save the enemy. The big disadvantage of beams is that they are very poor at penetrating shields, but overall they are a powerful weapon, especially if the enemy's shields are down. The rays perfectly burn out the crew and equipment, the destruction from them is very massive;

• Bombs. They require rockets to fire, but the operating principle is a little different. Bombs are immediately teleported to the enemy ship, ignoring shields, but they can also miss. In general, these are almost the same missiles, but there are several interesting unique types of bombs with interesting effects;

• Flak. A flak gun is like anti-aircraft fire. Shoots with a bunch of all sorts of garbage and debris, shoots inaccurately (in an area like a shotgun), but can cause very strong damage if there are no shields. The weapon is in many ways, it is difficult to aim where you need it, almost impossible, but the average damage is quite good, no shells are required. Another advantage is that the weapon does not require much energy. In my gaming experience- this is the best weapon in terms of price and quality, the main thing is to chop off the enemy’s shields and you can kill it. I took down some enemies with a couple of well-placed volleys.

What will we fly on?

Cruiser Lanius is one of the best ships

Here is the list of ships:

• The Kestrel Cruiser;
• The Engi Cruiser;
• The Federation Cruiser;
• The Zoltan Cruiser;
• The Mantis Cruiser;
• The Slug Cruiser;
• The Rock Cruiser;
• The Stealth Cruiser;
• The Lanius Cruiser;
• The Crystal Cruiser.

I will not talk about each type of ship as they differ only in initial equipment, systems and crew. Later, it will be possible to tailor almost any ship to suit other purposes and style of play, but often this is not worth doing.

Let me just say that the game is designed in such a way that each ship has its own style of play and an emphasis on some kind of tactics and strategy. For example, it is clear that The Stealth Cruiser initially has stealth systems and forces you to try and hone precisely this mechanics.

Drones

However, some ships have drones from the start, and installing such a system at the very end of the game can be useful if you have extra funds. This way you can close the vulnerable parts of your assembly, as well as somehow spend consumables (drones), which you may accumulate quite a bit as you play.

Ship upgrades

Upgrades can help strengthen weaknesses, or bring the ship's strengths to perfection. There are quite a few of them, for example there is a garbage collector (debris - game currency). With this improvement you will receive 10% more money. It is very useful to buy or get such a thing at the very beginning of your journey; it will definitely pay for itself by the middle of the game, and then you can exchange it for something else.

An example of an improvement useful in combat is an automatic reloader, which will increase the rate of fire by 10%.

There are also interesting toys in general, for example Stealth Weapons (hidden weapons). With this upgrade, you can shoot from stealth.

• You can also read:

Without improvements, it would not always be possible to give a ship true uniqueness, but with them you create a full-fledged, unique warship.

Game walkthrough video

As in the Pixel Dungeon series, I record a new video of the series only if there is demand ( likes, comments, views and shares), otherwise I'd rather record a video on another game or another topic if people aren't particularly interested in it. But I think I’ll make 1-2 more videos on this game in any case, since in one I covered quite a bit of information.

Initial equipment:

Fuel: 16; Rockets: 28; Drones: 0; Crowbar: 10; Energy: 8

Unlock:

Complete the task given by one of the Doom ships in the Doom Worlds sector. During the battle with the specified ship, let it escape without destroying it and you will receive the coordinates of the desired ship on your map.

Comments:

There are three rocks on the team, the ship is armed with two rocket launchers: the basic one - “Artemis” for firing at enemy systems, and “Hull” - which causes more damage to the ship’s hull. This type of weapon requires a constant and plentiful supply of ammunition. “Ship armor of doom” is a unique additional protection that reduces damage to the ship’s hull.

Ship: Doom Cruiser (type B)

Monolithic “flying cobblestone” without windows or doors.

Initial equipment:

Fuel: 16; Rockets: 18; Drones: 0; Crowbar: 10; Energy: 8

Unlock:

Get 2 of 3 achievements while driving the Doom Cruiser:

• Crush the enemy by transporting the crew to an enemy ship engulfed in fire.
• Destroy an enemy ship with a defensive drone using only missiles.
• Get into the secret sector.

Comments:

This ship does not have access hatches or systems remote control door locks, but the fireproof team, consisting of 4 rocks, is all of no use.
Weapons on board the ship: incendiary bomb and large penetrating laser. With this type of weapon you will get a completely new experience in hot battles. Be sure to install a system to transport aboard the enemy ship - that's when the fun begins!
