![]() Certain systems will be absolutely vital to the success of your mission - and consequently the survival of your crew. Having well-equipped ship is just as important, if not more so. Having a top-notch crew is very important. They’re also immune to mind control, which is a major boon if and when you encounter ships with one of those horrible, horrible devices. What that means is you’ll be able to see rooms and lifeforms on enemy ships even if your sensors are taken offline. Slug - Slugs don’t excel at repair, learning, or combat. And as an added bonus of sorts, they’ll explode when killed and injure your enemies. Simply being in the same room as one of your ship’s systems will allow them to generate their own power for it, regardless of overall output. Zoltan - The Zoltan are about as good in a fight as the Engi (worse, even), but that doesn’t mean they can’t be an invaluable member of your crew. Don’t simply count them out though - while they’re not the quickest species you’ll come across they are immune to fire and have the most health. ![]() Rockman - Rockmen are decent when it comes to repairing and learning skills, but they’re incredibly slow when moving around the ship. Take them into a fight and they’ll cut your enemies down with a disturbing amount of brutal efficiency. But while they’re pretty bad at repairs, they move quickly and do lots of damage in battle. Mantis - The Mantis aren’t all that great at repairing stuff and you’re probably better off tossing just about anyone else on system maintenance. However they can repair your ship incredibly quickly, which could mean the difference between life and death in a heated battle. What they lack in specialities they make up for in adaptability and the way they can improve their skills faster than any other species.Įngi - The Engi aren’t great in combat. They don’t excel at any one thing, but they aren’t terrible at much of anything, either. Some of them will even have an effect on random story encounters, so it’s usually a good idea to have one of everything - if you can manage it. Every single species can perform the same general tasks and make use of the ship’s various systems, but they all have different specialties that make them ideal for different situations. Your crew is just as important to account for when it comes to the mission. Due to the random nature of sector layouts, encounters, and shop inventories there’s no way to guarantee success, but we’re certainly going to do our best for you. That’s why we’ve put together a list of tips, tricks, and strategies to hopefully keep your ship and your crew functioning that much longer. So, while we here at 148Apps wholeheartedly endorse you rushing to the App Store to purchase FTL for your iPad immediately (seriously, go do it if you haven’t already), we also understand that you may have some trouble starting out. ![]() A very close second thing you really need to know is that it’s about as unforgiving as that one extremely tough grade-school teacher that never gave anyone a break. If there’s one thing you need to know about FTL, it’s that it’s a fantastic game.
