At this point everyone and their mother should have a good idea of what FTL is about and own a copy.
As a reminder, FTL: Advanced Edition is a free content expansion for FTL. All current (and future) customers will receive this update regardless of where they purchased it.
The iPad version of FTL will require an iPad version 2 or higher (iPad 1 is not supported) and will cost the same as the PC version, $10. It will be the complete game, including the new Advanced Edition content, and will not have any in-app purchases. We are proud to say that the iPad version is a true equivalent to the PC in the experience it provides, which is why we are price matching to the PC version.
Tom Francis of Gunpoint described it as “Firefly by way of Spelunky.” It has also been compared to Weird Worlds and Battlestations.
I like to think of it as Oregon Trail in outer space, with much greater focus on your wagon. Head over to the site and see for yourself and if you want to know more feel free to let me know.

I'm hoping Patrick Klepek at Giant Bomb starts playing this as part of his "daily roguelike" feature soon. He's already done Spelunky and is currently working on The Binding of Isaac. Both have been a lot of fun to watch.

For myself those circumstances generally involve boarding parties and missiles.

Maybe I'll be able to get victories on all ships with both layouts by then. Engi B, Fed Cruiser A, and Slug B left to do!

FLAWLESS VICTORY!!!!!!
My most played game 2012-2013 making a comeback in the nick of time. Cheers for the update @cardboard delusions
By chance, in one battle I got a hull breach in the corridor leading to where the drone bay would be, and a fire started in the room itself. Since Rock B starts with Oxygen 2, I was able to keep that entire section on fire for two full sectors (and safely because of the hull breach in the corridor would put the fire out if it tried to burn up the rest of the ship). I really wanted to take my burning ship into a mantis sector and have them teleport boarding teams into a burning room.
Sadly, in a fight with a drone, I took a damage to O2 from a missile fired by a drone, and the fire burned itself out. I took it as a sign and promptly died. Well, maybe letting the rebel fleet catch up to me while I investigated Distress signals in search of the pod didn't help, either.
Steam needs to start selling extra hours in the day...

Getting started with BATTLETECH: Part 1 / Part 2
bane of my existance I can never resist trying to board even when I see them reving the jump engines. Always funny when half your crew goes flying away DOH.
Knowing them personally, and growing up with Justin he is extremely humble. He's beyond elated with the success of this project and both he and Matt work tediously to improve it. I know for Jus, he's just really passionate about delivering a great experience, so this enhanced edition allowed them to put things they had envisioned the first time around into the game now. I recall as the deadline was coming up, they were very focused on delivering FTL as a finished project so they made the decision to polish the content rather than delaying their game to stuff additional things in. I can't state enough how great this is and how happy you guys will be with the additional features. Having this game on iOS is pretty rad, so you can certainly support them by picking up a copy in the App store

I'd assume better than okay, but numbers have never been officially released. I will say the dude spent many years in China below our poverty line, he lives by his means. He is just now afforded the time to comfortably develop his game and work on new projects. I'm happy to see him succeed at something our parents jokingly thought was a wasted endeavor. This comic is what we usually reference:
and having all my ships blow up a lot and then having to think of a new ship name each time i play because goddamnit, it's the only way to play.
Not that I wouldn't bloody love it if they did.
Done, screen size solved.
Now FTL is pretty far outside the 'normal' for mobile games so who knows how it turns out. But I do understand a developer that hasn't done mobile before try iOS first and then move on to android if it is worthwhile and feasible.
I just really want to ftl+ tonight :P

did notice some new events even my first time aroun
Android will be taken a look at, but they believe more iPad focus was the better move.
Saves between current version and AE 'should' work, but is not guaranteed.
If you are new to the game, disable the AE before you play. It's incredibly more complicated.
He's a super chill dude, and sub mode is off. The link is here!
ignore this person
they are full of bad ideas
e:and finished, yep, it's the advanced edition.
its happening!!!
