Yeah it's a really useful trick

It's true though lol. I messed up potentially much faster runs because of my mechanics, and there are people out there who could crush this record if they were dedicated to it.

Yeah I would never use it outside of speedrunning, too frustrating.

Thanks, appreciate it. But if you consider that the universe is billions of years old, 1.5 hours is actually pretty quick.

At that moment my heart rate probably quadrupled.

Definitely. This run could've been a lot faster. I've been on pace for sub 10 in the past after optimizing the overall strategy but I fucked up that run. I'm certain someone could do it in around 9 minutes, but no one really speedruns FTL so it might be a while sadly. I wish some of the better FTL players would spend some time speedrunning because they could crush this record if given the chance, it just takes a lot of patience because of the necessary rng.

Ship of destiny

My ego's too big to say thank you.

Don't worry, I can hardly even beat the game outside of a speedrun either.

It still hurts to this day

It depends on the beam weapon. The one that this ship comes with is the glaive beam which does 3 damage per room. It also has piercing, which means that it can go through shields but loses 1 damage for each level of shield it has to go through. So if they have 1 shield, it does 2 dmg per room, or for 2 shields it does 1 dmg per room. If there are 3 or more layers of shields it can't pierce. The other beam I got in this run is the halberd beam, which does 2 damage per room, so can only get through 1 shield. The glaive beam is extremely powerful so it costs 95 scrap. But the ship I use in this video, Stealth B, comes with it, but to balance this out it has no shields. The other beams in the game are the hull beam, mini beam, and pike beam. The hull beam does 2 dmg per systemless and 1 dmg for rooms with systems but it has no piercing, even when it targets a systemless room through just 1 layer of shield. The mini beam does 1 dmg and is very short, while the pike beam does 1 dmg but is very long. Neither of those can pierce. There is one more beam, the artillery beam, which is unlike the other because it's built into a ship, the Federation Cruiser. It's more like a system than a weapon, as it has its own room, doesn't take up a weapon slot, and fires automatically. It's unique in that it actually pierces every single layer of shield and does 1 dmg per room I think. I'm only mentioning this because the Fed Cruiser type A is my favorite ship in the game partially because of this. I hope you're having fun with the game. I honestly haven't played in a while but it's one of my favorite games ever.

@golddmane Oh! Thanks for all the info! I guess I never figured all that out with the beams because I could never afford them TwT

I asked them for money, but instead they gave me this...

Yeah that's what's great about FTL, I feel like even if you were to know nothing about it, you can develop an understanding over the course of watching one run

it really is

thank you!
