Faster than Light Interactive Plays Run 1 Victory

[the worst]

i know i'm not in the crew but that is completely your fault for blowing up the slavers rather than taking their mid-battle compromise offer
VOTE: 1 in spirit!

[the worst]

oof dreadful!
yeah put me in. i'll take sensors if i can, love that subsystem <3

probably need shields next tho.

[the worst]

Low is definitely the better option for us.. we need more personnel & shops :<

[the worst]

I should have read the legend on the image.
I'm going to assume we want the easier option in the future, although I'm also happy if we take the other one that looks potentially riskier in the long run

IMO you want red sectors earlier and green sectors late. Red sectors give you more scrap, green sectors give you more opportunity to spend it.

That's a really good take. I feel like the Kestrel in particular benefits from an early green sector if you don't get a couple of extra crew members in the starting one, tho :<

[the worst]

VOTE: 2 (mantis for sensors => later boarding) in spirit
sinking funds into hacking now when we'll almost certainly see it at least once later feels like its gonna cripple us too much short term

saving scraps is all well and good but we've got the super super handy shield 2. unless we get a decent drop/event I'm not sure what we'd be saving for.

[the worst]

yeah absolutely but as long as you look for cloak+hacking as a priority we're almost certain to get it later when there's more value add imo -- hacking really shines when you up against ships with like 3-4 shields and 1000 weapons

in the meantime we can have some groovy crew members C:

VOTE: 1 not sure on anything else. Hacking is smart tho.

[the worst]

I'd probably pocket the rest or consider a couple of points of hull I suppose

[the worst]

"kills you in a horrible way"

not wrong

I'm slightly more inclined towards uncharted for basically this reason.... though I'm a bit cowardly when it comes to the slug generally ~_~

standard rules don't really apply in slug nebulae (best to assume you have to kill everyone because their surrender offers suck; half the random events have nasty bad rewards which seem to happen really often :c)

uncharted nebula also positions us in the center so we can choose whether to go friendly or hostile. we'll probably be best off going friendly, but still. it's a little bonus point imo...

Too risky to lose one of our own.

[the worst]

hear, hear!

[the worst]

You guys don't usually run at ~2/3 hull to make the most of random events? :3

VOTE: 2 (long ranger scanners just to be a rebel
if we have scrap left over a few points of hull would be chilled

VOTE: 2

[the worst]

Couldn't agree more! Plus the b2b2b friendly sectors will give us a better chance of shinying up our weaponry..

good decision.
down with the rebels!

[the worst]

This should be based on the mechanics of the interactive play, I guess. Is there anyone reading this thread who'd want to be a crewmember?

^ concur (CheeryDog II?)

Incidentally is their engine skill higher than PvtUrist's?

[the worst]

I think we'd be better off using them for boarding or subsystems I guess

[the worst]

flak 2.....<3
keen to see cfj's thoughts here and I'll probably sheep her. my heart is calling to vote 3.

[the worst]

VOTE: 5 as cfj suggested

That's a great write-up. Let's do this.

ALSO HI CERB<3

[the worst]

I'm swinging VOTE: 3 as well (sorry) unless 2 is better for interactivity \o/

[the worst]

VOTE: 1+2
sheeping cfj. fingers crossed...

[the worst]

VOTE: 1 still really want more shops.

[the worst]

VOTE: 2

I...don't actually recall the effect nebulae have, but screw it lets go!

they delay the fleet's pursuit by 50% but also screw up your sensors and sometimes have weather conditions which half your reactor

they're also Soooo much fun!!

VOTE: 2

[the worst]

I think we hammered 2 but the shop thing didn't fully occur to me.

[the worst]

Just in case
VOTE: 1
Mutiny against our past selves!!!

you can do it Urist!!!! I believe in you!

[the worst]

Thank you for modding Urist! Nice work annihilating the flagship! <3

That sounds awesome! I'm not particularly consistent at the moment, so I don't think I'd be in a position to mod it. But I would be very keen to follow a run using your balance mod, CFJ.

[the worst]

I would be incredibly down to play that. It sounds like a blast.
