It's faster, has fewer issues, and is in active development.Д®dit: If you don't like the Better Planets and Backgrounds Mod (maybe too busy or not to your taste), there's also High-res Background Graphics, which are just the vanilla backgrounds in a higher resolution.

The Diversity Mod changes up the graphics and animations of the weapons and changes some weapon properties very slightly (reduced ion-damage of new ion missiles removed system damage. Images taken by the Hubble Telescope are also used! Everything looks so much cleaner. I do so adore the extra goodies from invading though and there is a certain primal thrill from doing it.Д«etter Planets and Backgrounds is, well, better planets and backgrounds. Besides, it adds an extra challenge by doing it blind.

#FTL BETTER PLANETS AND BACKGROUNDS UPGRADE#

Of course I do love to be able to see all this but one cannot always afford the upgrade or spare the scrap if one is saving up for a particular purchase.

If I keep a close eye on their door movements and time my attacks to hit their crew as well as the room I am targeting I can usually get their health nice and low before I teleport in. I can make a good stab of working out how many crew they have and what races they're likely to be just from familiarity due to repetition. I've even got to where I don't even need to see inside the other ship to be able to gauge if it is safe to teleport my crew over there or not. I am going to love those two ships when I unlock them going by what you say as I too have the most fun when I'm invading the other ship. So close! lol I won't make that mistake again!. Maybe today?! I almost unlocked the Mantis ship a couple of days ago but I mistakenly powered up the cloak rather than the teleport :facepalm: so I wasn't able to save him, despite upgrading the med bay to two when I entered that sector. I find what I think must be the start of the Crystal Ship unlock but haven't got to the next stage yet :/. I am jelly! I do not have either of those ships yet despite having the chance for both multiple times. Oh well, it can be frustrating when I still make such silly mistakes but the counterpoint to that is that I can't ever relax completely and play it completely on auto pilot since the game is balanced so well that it keeps me on my toes. teleporting my crew onto the other ship just before it jumps away or blows up, letting crew die from spending too long in a hazardous part of my own ship, and so on. Bwahaha! I did that a few times yesterday out of frustration when I kept making stupid errors e.g. I just open all the doors and turn the oxygen supply off. Not knowing what the hell I was doing then didn't help! I haven't got anywhere near it since :/. I think I got nearest to it when I first started playing the game, 100 odd playtime hours ago but got wiped out pretty quickly by the more powerful ship. I didn't get anywhere near the Rock ship. Yes, basic laser x 4 makes for a nice easy start which is handy to set oneself up well for later sections IF the game decides to play nice with its random elements.

I shall probably prematurely end the life of the middle click of the mouse I'm using be it's cheap and cheerful and I have a couple more around here somewhere if need be. Firstly because I can put my legs up on the desk and slouch and secondly because one of two pussy cats are prone to be lying right where the keyboard would be if I was using it. One of the things I really love about FTL is that I can play it with one hand *cough*. The quicker the skirmish is over the less damage I incur so less scrap needs to be spent on repairs right? I do this with all ships now though not just that one so it's pretty much automatic pilot for me if I'm honest. beam while the shields are down for maximum use of my resources. So now I fire one, select the next one, wait until the first hits, fire the second and then use another weapon e.g. I used to leave them firing at the same time but found that if 2 or more weapons hit at the same time I didn't get the benefit of the extra shots. I wasn't sure what you meant by burst firing but your clarification below is what I do all the time now.
