FTL: Advanced Edition dropped the other day. I've seen plenty of Scummers playing it on Steam, and it is awesome enough to warrant it's own thread. :D

It seems that Advanced Edition might have upped the difficulty, but I don't know how much of that is down to changed mechanics or that it kinda overwhelms you with options for your ship and you need to make the right choices and get lucky in order to pull off a victory. Either way, Mind Control plus Teleporter is a super fun combo. :D

I suck, though.

They also nerfed the rewards you get from taking over a ship with boarders, because people got way better at it than the devs intended. They also added an AoE explosion for Zoltans when they die. Thus, Teleporter + Clone Bay + Zoltans = SUICIDE ZOLTAN BOARDING PARTY GO!

At Rank 3 it heals a quarter of health for everyone bar Zoltans and Rocks per jump. Not really a minor convenience.

Flak weapons are fantastic against the flagship, so long as you have something (bursty lasers/missiles/bombs) to back them up, 'cause there's a significant lack of accuracy there. Great for taking out shields, though.

Also, killing all the crew on the flagship doesn't win you the fight like it does other ships, but it does make the third phase way easier 'cause there's no boarding party. Pro-tip for phase three: Have all your crew in separate rooms so they don't cause too much trouble when mind controlled. That, or hack the mind control system or use your own mind control to counter it. After all, the enemy getting control of a full-leveled fighting Mantis with the mind control buff is not a situation you want to be in. Trust me. :(
