Federation A has some really nice flexibility and lends itself well to lots of different builds as well.
This should be fun. :)

wow I was very tired this morning. I thought I wrote up a length post with comments & suggestions.. :lol:

Navigation should be Iconeum, I think.
I think? he's new to FTL, which means the game will be 9,001 times more funner with a newer navigator.
He's also a slug, and slug mind control immunity = low chance of evasion suddenly being reduced to 0% (really, outside of missile bombardment & hacking, which are somewhat avoidable).

I'll happy take control of technology, as Varsoon suggested. My quick repair ninja skills are very valuable in the shield room, and I'm fine with making small decisions on the fly with the 'ethos' of the rest of the crew in mind and reporting back on major decisions where feedback's needed. :)

Logistics I'm fine with Varsoon looking after. My only suggestion would be to consider PvtUrist for this job, as having a Rock on engines for their tendency to BURST INTO HORRIFIC FLAMES at any moment can be useful. But if either/both of you have a strong preference, I support it.

That being said, weaponry should indeed be taken by someone experienced and that's PvtUrist to a T. he's an absolute gun (pun intended) at FTL and would handle this role with the care it demands.

Vars, I'm not sure how experienced you are - if you're good at FTL too then my call on the engine room might be worth having a think about. basically, i'd recommend;

if vars is a FTL ninja:
Navigation = Iconeum
Technology = the worst
Logistics = PvtUrist
Weaponry = Varsoon

if vars is less experienced at FTL:
Navigation = Iconeum
Technology = the worst
Logistics = Varsoon
Weaponry = PvtUrist

Yeah, that's a valid point.
I'm more than happy with you covering engines. :) PvtUrist is still someone I'd be very happy to see on weapons.

The game will be modified so the nuances of our leet FTL skillz will be harder to utilise. But definitely good to know we've got a bit of savvy on the team.

We do have some kind of augment which speeds up shield restoration but indeedy, shields 1.

We have oxygen at 100% and I'll leave that system on - medical room is on standby at the moment (I'll leave that system off until needed of course)

Doors can be controlled by anyone within the door room.
Sensors can be checked by anyone in the sensor room.
Whoever accesses the system receives this privately.

Sorry if this is common knowledge but I assume it's at least somewhat in my domain. ;)

Please be careful about using numbers — callforjudgement

I am a shields power vampire.
Medbay still off and we need oxygen so not sure I can afford to within the Technology side of things.

PvtUrist is there any spare energy on the weapons front?

Yeah, fair call. I'd prefer not to mess around with Oxygen when it hasn't been upgraded at all (it just takes a couple of stray shots and a couple of fires in a bad location and we're suddenly in a bit of a crisis - I might be overly paranoid here, so if you'd all prefer to overrule me I'm happy to run with your thoughts)

Thanks for the scrap so far. We almost there.

No. Engine upgrade then as much hull repair as possible.

We need to pool scrap in early sectors absolutely vitally or we will die horrible deaths. If you need to collect scrap wait a couple of sectors out til we can actually survive.

next shield upgrade is ⚙️85 btw just so it's out there.

Sorry I was kind of waiting for PvtUrist to suggest an alternative.
Appreciate more core systems are a priority but I'd rather have upgrades now than roll the dice on when we'll find a viable option in a shop.

If pvtutist consents to the leap I'm on board. I'll try and keep an eye on my phone so I can be around to shift ⚙️ or make a purchase.

I bought it (thank you<3) and unlocked the options to buy a hull repair, anti intruder or beam drone

I'll sit at ⚙️0 for now.

Iirc there were some Federation sectors closer to home. I think the first focus is of course having enough fuel to escape this sector + a few jumps into the next. Second priority getting hull somewhere near 50-70%. Then more fuel, then vanity hull repairs :P

I may be somewhat reckless on this front...

You're doing brilliant cfj <3

We have an anti-drone drone system available here for ⚙️35 which is the only real affordable/interesting option imo. there's also beams and a drone recovery arm and the usual shields medbay oxygen etc.

I now have 81.25 scrap (thanks PvtUrist)!
While I don't intend to die I'm not sure I'm the best source for it rn.

Oxygen upgrade = ⚙️35
Sensor upgrade = ⚙️25
Door upgrade = ⚙️35

With 13.75 more scrap I guess I could buy all of these but what do you guys think? Doors are the obvious choice holistically. Oxygen allows for braver microing and a buffer in a scary fight. Sensors I love (especially vs. the flagship) but a lot of people disagree with me.

What do you all reckon?

Alrighty. I have 72.75⚙️. There's also an anti drone drone and a system repair drone here -- lmk if you guys are keen on either. Everything else is pretty standard. (shields, oxygen, medbay, etc.).

You've been really on top of it - please don't feel bad for quietness here!

@Vars I've allocated control of the repair drones to you. You will have access to our drone components until we're down to our last few (those last few are mine, and are obviously for emergencies. Hull repairs on the fly are a luxury; winning battles is a necessity).

It's 150% on shop value in the base game so likely a good value trade, basically.

I swing slightly towards YEAH but I'm fine either way as well.

I rather it in the main thread for quick reaction than just in one player's brain -- obviously I trust you to relay important stuff but it's easy enough to miss details, and even not being online at the same time can cause laggy type situations.

Sorry -- I hope you don't mind.

4⚙️ more for the defence drones would be strongly appreciated.

The Big Boom is indeed snazzy so could be talked into that
I guess we don't have much scrap. :P

I have a second defence drone available for 50; this would need an upgrade to our drone control system as well, though. We should also consider purchasing a commercial licence for our hacking software.

bare minimum, I'm very likely going to be buying more drone parts because we need them. We don't have a whole lot and there's not many up for sale.

I need tonnes of scrap to do anything meaningful (hacking software upgrade would be super handy but I'm just shy of 70 scrap off)

Please proceed to fight to the death over my scrap

all of my systems are pretty skinny except the shields.
I think the hacking upgrade is my best investment but that's 90 scrap and I'm dubious we'll get there.

so all clear here.

hacking boarding is a little lackluster
basically piloting or mind control imo, but given we never got the commercial license I'd say coordinating piloting hacks with Dr. Spyconeum's firing will probably be more effective.

If I get a thumbs up from Ico I'll fire on their piloting.

Few points:
- we never got the commercial licence for hacking so it's not gonna do much to mind control; I think best value is me just tag teaming with iconeum on the piloting. Cap'n, if you disagree just let me know.
- definitely destroy the mind control system asap because eek evil!Varsoon.
- we had some trouble because our drone system is so easy to take out. I could reinforce it with about 15 scrap, if you'd be comfortable all sending me some pittance.

I'm down to 4 and a bit.
I'll work on keeping the shields and defence drone up. :D

Gooey you are a genius.
Yes we can hack mind control. :D
if you and Spyconeum have 10 scrap between you I'd really appreciate it so the defence drone is less likely to be taken down - since we've got so much stuff to mitigate I really think the single padding upgrade will help with the missile risk.

Thanks for the feedback in the mod thread too, cfj.
I've definitely been playing FTL less lately and have lots to learn in it.
The drone name stuff-ups were largely earnest. :oops: if I was at work, or out and about, and saw an update, I made an effort to try and communicate it to the others as quickly as possible to keep things moving. Unfortunately I slipped up a couple of names and I think I caught myself out later for the most part. My plays for secondary wincon were largely when it was convenient. I was definitely more focused on The Greater Good :P

With respect to not mentioning the hacking system vs. Flagship round 1's shields; I'm not used to hacking doing a whole lot to shields. Given the flagship has reasonable evasion, I was thinking it would be better to take down their piloting system and hammer them with weaponfire rather than using hacking to temporarily down ~1-maybe 2 layers of shields. This is something I should experiment more with in-game, though.

The poor synergy of hacking + defence drones + repair bots was a really good call as well, and something I'm a bit annoyed I didn't think about. Mind Control would indeed have been a much better buy. Sorry about that.


(Also it was not lost on me that the Slug crew member was usually the last to send scrap; that was great. I should have sent my remaining pittance back to Gooey at endgame.)
