@@cartermariano yes, but he’s already got a mini series going on that for the remaster... jons happy places include TW:Rome - FTL & FNV / skies of Arcadia - but that won’t be on the channel for a while.
He was the best of us, Jon shall be missed. Ashes to Ashes. Dust to Dust, he shall leave a hole in the hearts of all who knew him. And good job moving house.
Jon, you could have just taken a few days off. We won't all run away, I promise! Hope the move goes as smooth as possible and that Queen Tabby settles quickly in her new Queendom. Sending love to you all, please, please be careful of burnout - it isn't any fun!!
23:45 Jon takes damage in an event which causes a fire he doesn't notice despite it being indicated. 25:30 "Why is my ship on fire?" Your perception is amazing as always Jon.
I'm looking forward to next episode when he boards a Zoltan ship with his fancy new shield bypass unit, and then remembers that Zoltans explode when killed.
I feel like there was a missed opportunity to follow 'Everyone is in a good place' at the start with 'And hopefully I'm in a better place now, one way or the other.'
Your kidding me right? who uses slugs as boarding parties? Rocks and Mantis for the win! I get they are physic but they dont need to be on the enemy ship for that.
The first video of Jon's I ever saw was FTL. I was bad at the game and googled videos to get better. I had NO idea that you can pause during fights, and seeing him use it so effectively made me subscribe.
Not a video I was expecting, but the good ones never are. (I did a double take thinking RUclips had a bit of a hiccup and started notifying old videos. Again.)
After watching "before your eyes" i needed a chill stream like this. Hopefully if Jon is dead he tells the truth to the ferryman....or Tabby after they move into the new house.
The beam isn’t Random. It works out specific lines for specific layouts, eg. it will always do the same beam on a new ship with an identical layout. (Unless the layout has multiple ways to do the same amount of damage).
hmm I have a super tough rockman with 150 health specifically built for fighting and a slug. Which one should I send in on the teleporter .... tricky one that eh Jon! :P
I love how the intro implies that the "emergency" of death itself is a minor inconvenience to Jon and he assumes that it would create only the most insubstantial of interruptions to his regular upload schedule. Also, been far too long since we last saw new FTL. I approve.
I've never really understood the issues with the spiders. Now, the "Pirates with Anti-Ship Batteries" event, that causes me to deploy the large-caliber vocabulary. (Oh, and the "One of your crew is a traitor" event from Captain's Edition, for obvious reasons.)
@@macroglossumstellatarum5932 The spider event is I think an 80% chance to kill crew. Clone bays were not originally in the game to save you from bad gambles. People very quickly learned to avoid space spiders.
@@tadferd4340 The spiders have lots of other ways to resolve it, though. Anti-personnel drone, boarding drone and anti-bio beam all give you a good resolution. The Pirates with anti-ship-batteries, however, are purely a gamble what systems they hit before you can jump out (the guns keep firing even after the pirates are dead). If it's your engines, cockpit or shields, the run may very well be over. (I think that's an advanced edition event, tough)
I've done runs where I only use the artillery beam w/ no weapons and gotten to the end. Just fill up on shields and evasion upgrades and you'll become a hilarious, untouchable murder machine.
Jon going all in with a boarding party strategy while having a random beam attack he cant aim as his only weapon.... Queue "I made a mistake, I made a mistake"
Rock should be on the teleporter, also on a level one teleporter a rich can teleport to the unmanned ship, hurt a system and teleport back with about 20 hp left.
No! Jon's dead! Oh, let us sit upon the ground and tell sad stories of the death of kings. Some slain in war, some poisoned by Claire, some tried to move castle and were done in by rotten rungs on the property ladder. Why!?
You know, you can save the positions of your crew and have them automatically go back to those positions by pressing the two buttons under the crew list.
I did actually beat the game without ever using a weapon! Mantis B, use Boarding Drone against automated ships and Lanius. (couldn't get Lanius crew, unfortunately) Against the flagship, kill all crew to put it into AI mode. Putting the boarding party into the missile pod to break it every time it's repaired deals a hull point each and prevents it from firing. Use the Boarding Drone to deal the last blow so you don't lose crewmembers. I was a bit too slow in the last phase, but the game didn't register their deaths because I had already won.
I had a mini heart attack at the beginning there. Announcing his death with a chill FTL video wouldn't be so far fetched for Jon.
Me, too.
F
My heart fucking dropped
Yeah I freaked.
at 1st I was like :D
Then I was like :O
Then I was like 'phew'
Then I was like "Goddammit Jon'
RIP Jon,
or congratulations on the move, whichever it is.
Judging by how much of a pain his move's been, my money's on both
@@jackeea_ “I’ve moved and getting all tabby’s stuff in has killed me. Will be back to recording in a week” seems like a Jon thing
LOL, When I saw this I assumed the stress had gotten so bad for Jon he regressed to his FTL happy place
i assumed he had recorded it during a fever dream of some kind
I thought his happy place was Rome 1.
@@cartermariano yes, but he’s already got a mini series going on that for the remaster... jons happy places include TW:Rome - FTL & FNV / skies of Arcadia - but that won’t be on the channel for a while.
9 years of this game and it still gives me anxiety when Jon doesn't heal his crew between hops.
Not to mention when he doesn't notice his ship is on fire, or in past when he forgets to repair/turn on oxygen.
Agreed.
aint nobody got time for that
He was the best of us, Jon shall be missed. Ashes to Ashes. Dust to Dust, he shall leave a hole in the hearts of all who knew him. And good job moving house.
-Has artillery beam
-gets teleporter
Yes, this is pure tactical genius at work. No one would expect us to fire on our own!
Hmmm, yeah thats totally not gonna backfire BIG TIME on him.
If you're not willing to shell your own position, you're not willing to win.
Ever heard of the imperial guard, son?
@@jpuroila Absolutely.
RIP in peace Jon, I'll miss you once all of your emergency videos run out :(
F for Jon in comments

I find it funny to think that the moment Jon dies, he just has a kill switch in his body that immediately uploads a FTL video
Like how House immediately sends out an obituary saying how great he is when he dies.
Nearly as many things happen automatically as when the Queen dies.
@@5Andysalive "When." ........I come from the future with some news, friend!
I love the idea that if you died, you'd just take the day off and then go back to uploading as usual, presumably as a ghost
He'd only realize after his hand phased through the controller/mouse.
lol as if he'd even take the day off
... So he'd be the Professor Binns of RUclips?
His ghost and his skeleton could PvP
@@shotgunshells2 nah he wouldn’t realize at all, he’d just continue perfectly normal as a ghost due to the perception 0
Jon will be missed dearly my condolences to Claire. Jon was one of many true nerds.
On the upside, Claire will finally be able to get a proper word in during the livestreams.
"Getting rid of all of my weapons is too crazy even for me"
*later that video*
"So we have no weapons..."
Bets on how long it is before Jon accidentally kills his own crew members with the artillery beam?
@@DeadFishTheKing how much you wanna bet the very first encounter he has next episode is gonna be a drone ship with no oxygen?
Jon, you could have just taken a few days off. We won't all run away, I promise! Hope the move goes as smooth as possible and that Queen Tabby settles quickly in her new Queendom. Sending love to you all, please, please be careful of burnout - it isn't any fun!!
We won't but the mysterious algorithm is a different matter.
@@5Andysalive Indeed. At this point, I'm quite sure I'll still be subscribed decades after the final upload.
If Jon returns, which hopefully he does, I expect a ‘reports of my death were greatly exaggerated’.
Congrats, on either outcome.
That moment when you are addicted to your Mercenaries Only campaign, you can't sleep...
23:45 Jon takes damage in an event which causes a fire he doesn't notice despite it being indicated.
25:30 "Why is my ship on fire?"
Your perception is amazing as always Jon.
And 3 bars of free power and only one bar of power in weapons...
I'm glad I follow Jon on Twitter, or at that first joke, I would have choked on my coffee. I'm an Aussie and it's morning here.
It's nearly midnight here so I am too drunk to care.
God this soundtrack is so nostalgic man I love this game so much
PERFECT TIMING JON!! I was watching a northernlion video where he mentioned FTL and i thought wouldn’t it be cool if MATN uploaded more FTL
You have brought so much joy to many people, I hope you found peace in your final hours.
That or congrats and good luck on the move
I'm looking forward to next episode when he boards a Zoltan ship with his fancy new shield bypass unit, and then remembers that Zoltans explode when killed.
Oh god, it'll be the legendary robots from Fo4 all over again.
I feel like there was a missed opportunity to follow 'Everyone is in a good place' at the start with 'And hopefully I'm in a better place now, one way or the other.'
i feel like there's some sort of beautiful irony in the mantis being named Matt
Mattntis
He was not just Jones, mind you but DR. Jones.
I imagine Jon's last words will be
"I'm dead." lol!
best wishes on the move!!
I do hope he realises that the Rock crew member would be a better boarder than the Slug at some point
I died a little inside when that happened
Your kidding me right? who uses slugs as boarding parties? Rocks and Mantis for the win! I get they are physic but they dont need to be on the enemy ship for that.
@@jaywerner8415 It's for the wet slappy noises, obviously.
Oh how I love FTL, glad to see this
Jon, you better fecking enjoy this week. Take some good time off and have a good and safe move.
The game that initially brought me to your channel. It's good to be back.
FTL has a lot to answer for doesn't it.
Well, next chapter is going to be wild.
Oh hell yeah. I started playing this game cuz your old videos on this. Now I’m here for a current run of it :) yes!
>I am the king of stupid plans that may or may not works out
Very accurate! That's why you're so loved.
The first video of Jon's I ever saw was FTL. I was bad at the game and googled videos to get better. I had NO idea that you can pause during fights, and seeing him use it so effectively made me subscribe.
I'll just assume that Jon has died from moving..... And Tabby ate his corps
Not a video I was expecting, but the good ones never are.
(I did a double take thinking RUclips had a bit of a hiccup and started notifying old videos. Again.)
Me too 🤣 I did a double take on the upload date just to make sure.
RIP Jon. Oh well at least it means more FTL. I'm always happy to see FTL on this channel. Consider dying again in future so we get more FTL, thanks.
Ever played the FTL Multiverse Mod? You're probably missing out!
I have seen lets plays of that. It looks really good.
The man who never uses his Med-Bay buys a Teleporter. Yep, this is going to end well...
Claire finally cracked under the stress, Dorf Romantic was the last straw, RIP Jon
I thought RUclips was reccommenting me an old video but it is a new FTL. So very happy. Hope the move is going well.
Rome: Remastered devs killed him for bugging them too much about the population rebalancing, rest in peace you will be missed
I love that ending, can't wait for the next episode!
More FTL on the channel is always a good thing
After watching "before your eyes" i needed a chill stream like this. Hopefully if Jon is dead he tells the truth to the ferryman....or Tabby after they move into the new house.
RIP Jon already miss you
Jon sells his weapons - a strange Flex to be sure yet a welcome one!
I was whistling this game’s tune right as it appeared on my screen.
The beam isn’t Random. It works out specific lines for specific layouts, eg. it will always do the same beam on a new ship with an identical layout. (Unless the layout has multiple ways to do the same amount of damage).
The first law of FTL states that the enemy missile will always launch just before the launcher is disabled. Happy to see FTL back on the channel!
Literally was currently playing ftl when I saw this, fantastic, now I can have FTL on both my monitors!
Hey John, it'd be really neat to see you give the FTL Multiverse mod a try, it's such a huge overhaul that it's basically like a sequel to FTL.
This game is brilliance in every way. A gem! Thank you very much!
Saw the Zoltan shield bypass and knew that, even though it's honestly a terrible idea, Jon was absolutely going to do it. I'm so glad.
hmm I have a super tough rockman with 150 health specifically built for fighting and a slug. Which one should I send in on the teleporter .... tricky one that eh Jon! :P
Will you try out the captain's edition mod for FTL ?
hell yes! I hope everything goes well with your move! I love ftl too
This sound track SLAPS
Jon FTL for 8 years now,never gets old tho!
I love how the intro implies that the "emergency" of death itself is a minor inconvenience to Jon and he assumes that it would create only the most insubstantial of interruptions to his regular upload schedule. Also, been far too long since we last saw new FTL. I approve.
The next episode better be from Ghost Jon and narrated entirely in a spooky, wibbly voice
FTL is to me jon's rome total war, I've sank way too many hours and lost countless crew to the dreaded space spiders
I've never really understood the issues with the spiders. Now, the "Pirates with Anti-Ship Batteries" event, that causes me to deploy the large-caliber vocabulary.

This is, easily, among my favorite games of all time. I love it so much I very happily gave them money so I could play it on two different platforms.
RIP Jon, so sad :'(
I assume his ashes will be scattered at his new home.
tragedy about losing jon so young, Clair let us know when tabby takes over the main channel.
I've done runs where I only use the artillery beam w/ no weapons and gotten to the end. Just fill up on shields and evasion upgrades and you'll become a hilarious, untouchable murder machine.
Thanks John I am defo gonna play me a campaign or two of FTL haven't played for a while
RIP Jon, at least he gave us this video as a parting gift in his will.
you will always be remembered.

Rock should be on the teleporter, also on a level one teleporter a rich can teleport to the unmanned ship, hurt a system and teleport back with about 20 hp left.
Jon: Having no weapons as a plan is too bananas on toast even for me.
Jon 10 minutes later: Well, now I have no weapons.
I'd love to see you do a "Win with every ship type" run. Prolly going to be a 'fun' editing time, and a loooong video.
As well as a Stress disorder from playing Slug B and Rock A..
As overjoyed as I was to see the return of this absolute classic, I can't understate my happiness when the Mantis was named Matt 😂
No weapons and boarding only? Crystal B baby! You don't even get a shield with Crystal B! Unlock that ship Jon!
Why did this appear just as I started playing FTL again?
*They* know 👀😛🙃
Jon's ghost watching over your shoulder.
Jon, hope you don’t die while moving Many A True HQ.
They would have to upload the exact same video back to back with itself. That would be tragic.
"So we have no weapons."
Jon, no!
FTL is very similar to Xcom 2 to me.
Base game is good.
Mods make it fucking fantastic.
Also good luck with the move!
Oh, flip so early the video hasn't even processed to 1080p yet.
The intro was already chucklesome. Hope Jon didn't get smooshed during the move
This will be a VERY mini series
No! Jon's dead! Oh, let us sit upon the ground and tell sad stories of the death of kings. Some slain in war, some poisoned by Claire, some tried to move castle and were done in by rotten rungs on the property ladder. Why!?
Wow, I was playing FTL yesterday. What a coincidence.
It does help sometimes to put some energy into your systems. :)
Tabby senses where laps are; makes sense :)
Will you be making a video on the elusive target the collector??
Congratulations on the move.... New coffin will be nice and tight 😄😭
Only those who attempt the absurd can achieve the impossible.
CAN, being the operative word, here.
You know, you can save the positions of your crew and have them automatically go back to those positions by pressing the two buttons under the crew list.
Vinny can't do his FTL series right now so Jon does one instead. Circle of life.
Rest in peace Jon, you shall be slightly missed.
I like the implication that being dead takes about the same amount of time as moving homes for you.
RIP in peace mate, you will be missed
Can't wait until he forgets Zoltans explode upon death dealing damage to beings in the room and loses the boarding party
Little surprise it wasn't on Captain's edition
RIP Jon! Tabby may miss you.
Love to see this is back
Why is he using the slug when he has a rock? I always thought they were on the better attacking end
They're better on the defense end.
Rest in Packing tape, Jon
Kind of fitting that Jon's last video is FTL no guns.
I did actually beat the game without ever using a weapon!
Mantis B, use Boarding Drone against automated ships and Lanius. (couldn't get Lanius crew, unfortunately)

Hey jon theres a game called highfleet which is like a dieselpunk cross between FTL and and the old lunar lander arcade game
