A few lines illuminating the backgrounds of new crewmen, and some more generous blueprint dispensing would nudge this unmissable sci-fi story generator even closer to perfection. Scanning the game's impressive superstructure for vulnerable exhaust ports and shot traps, just about the only weakpoints I've managed to identify are the lack of personnel histories, and the painfully slow rate of vessel unlocks. A comprehensive and up-to-date list of all mods on the official forums can be found in the new FTL mod compendium. Modding FTL is relatively easy and limited, however it allows for a great deal of customization. Even Ben Prunty's twinkling soundtrack fits beautifully. FTL: Faster Than Light has a small, though active modding community. You're forced to drift forlorn and regret-wracked waiting for either a good Samaritan or a rebel coup-de-grace.įTL feels like a project that's been thoughtfully tweaked over several years. Running out of fuel is one of the game's scariest situations. So far I've refused to hand over any crew to bullying slavers, but have on several occasions had to sell indispensable kit in order to finance essential repairs or fill an empty tank. Bad luck and poor decisions regularly lead to heartbreaking setbacks and sacrifices. There are hundreds of possible encounters, and countless ways of improving your ship.
