It was really awesome to see this run in real-time, I think this is one of the toughest ship in game, what a streak! And also thanks for taking my request!
I have recieved the honour of being a pilot! I haven't watched it yet, but I hope it's good! Edit: and I've been accidentally placed in the engines room. Not bad though.
There's a tiny non-optimal play Rand did: If you've got no weapons, and your weapons system is destroyed, it's better to *not* repair it. (See 21:16) This way if there's a fire or you get bordered in that room, you can't take damage.
enemies i think are more likely to target weapons in hard mode, so it can prevent a 2 damage missile from hitting your clone bay (instant loss of that happens when your crew are dying, and your crew are dying a lot with this ship)
The 2 main ones are "Extended Pursuit indicator" for the lines on the map and "Better Planets and Backgrounds" for the prettier space pictures behind the ship.
There's a mechanic in FTL hard mode called "smart targeting" where the enemy AI will have an altered chance to fire on certain systems based on different conditions. If your O2 is below 50%, the AI will have a slightly higher chance to shoot O2, which is often preferred over them targeting systems like weapons, teleporter, etc. I don't remember this specific run, but I'm guessing I was trying to reduce the chance that the enemy ship targeted clone bay or teleporter to keep my boarding crew safe.
I don't understand the question. Do you mean "Does Drone Recovery arm work on the Hacking drone?" If that's your question, then No, hacking drone is not recovered by drone recovery arm. Scrap recovery arm increases the amount of scrap you get from scrap rewards...which doesn't really affect hacking.
Man, didn't look into the comments, to not get spoilered. But then RUclips just recommended me the 26th run.
there's no getting away from spoilers on youtube...
3.5 hours, should be able to sleep good tonight!
You already KNOW ill be tuning in to tuesday's stream!
Rand, excellent micro saving your mantis with the zoltan when that ion intruder took out your clone bay. You were in the zone.
Wow, this run sure was...the bomb!!
You made a fairly difficult ship look easy, Rand! And for a new PB!!! Masterful!! Let’s get this done!!!!

Amazing run, pretty much perfectly played run. Pleasure watching you play methodically
The salt shaker has never been fuller :D
Wonderful work Rand, and I do mean WORK, this ship is hella difficult!
If a lanius sticks his head out of the airlock in a vented room, is that the FTL equivalent of a dog sticking his head out of a car window?
The run to beat your record is Fed C? This story couldn't be written any better, should be a fun one to watch!
good run, that much micro on no pause is brutal but as ive said before your improvements this year are really shining through!

Since they’re anaerobic, lanius should take damage from fully oxygenated rooms

New personal record let's goooooo!
3.5 hours? Hopefully this is just a feature of the ship needing a lot of time and care like Zoltan C.
Just found FTL. Love your videos. What mods do you use?

It's over.
(Now... do I mean that the streak is over? Or that the Fed C curse is over? I wonder!)
Let's go!
Why does Fed C have to end every streak 😭You’ll get it eventually!
why are you keeping your oxygen under 50%?

Fed C for the... Win or loose 😅
Does scrap recovery arm work on hacking?

could i be any crew member named Mr Buga? name him Beni pls. and congrats on beating your streak!
You got it, and thanks for the congratulations!
Can I be a mantis?
You got it!
can you name a human rand?
Hah, name a human me? Sure...although venting myself will sure feel awkward...
I was right about the ship, time to see if I was right about the loss😊
You were wrong :)
