God I love FTL! I haven't been playing much recently, but I never did get tired of it, just got busy with DND5. |

I often park FTL for months to go away and play other stuff, but I can always just drop right back in, pick up where I left off, and get killed in new and interesting ways.

After a very long struggle I'm finally in a place where I can beat FTL fairly consistently with most ships.
Finally! A signature! |

I've unlocked a single ship and I think I got as far as the sixth system. I still love the game.

You have one tactic and it's Vulcan Laser. When they nerf it, you'll be so boned.

I actually didn't like the AE. I thought most of what they added was unnecessary at best or downright annoying at worst. It was certainly harder than the standard edition, no doubt about that, but not in any way that was more interesting or fun. All it really did was add a million more ways for things to go wrong - and since your ships did not have larger capacities for gear than they have in the standard edition, there was no way to effectively plan, counter, or prepare for any of it. Ultimately the RNG was emboldened, whereas tactics and skill were far less important. Slot Machine: Advanced Edition was my impression of it. It didn't matter how well you played, because, as you described, you could be trundling along and doing really well, then suddenly find yourself up against a weapons you have no defense against, which succinctly wipes out your crew and most of your systems.

I've not FTL'd in a while now. Skyshine's bedlam took its place for a decent spell of time but I've got the roguelike-that-hates-you itch under control for now. At this point all I can remember about the AE was that I hated the Lanuis and adored the Vulcan Laser. I think at the point it came out, the game needed a shot in the arm of new instances to give those of us dying over and over again something new to look at just before we warped into a sun and exploded.
