if you hit restart turn the game timer actually goes back to the start of the turn. TIME TRAVELING

Pigbuster posted:Much, MUCH faster. The timer's going up all the time, including while waiting for UI animations (not when paused, though!). It was really fun, since it's an excuse to rush everything like a loon and the boulder mech is so dang good I was able to flawless the islands at the same time. Turn the game speed slider to max, turn on the timer UI, set difficulty to easy, sit on the spawners like there's no tomorrow and take easy missions. Resetting a turn also resets the time your original turn took.

I really need to get some kind of gif capture program because I am taking some epic turns while flawlessly completing these maps. The Hazard Mechs aren't great, but they are a good challenge. e: This is on Normal. I'm not suicidal enough for Hard yet. ate shit on live tv fucked around with this message at 02:30 on Mar 2, 2018 |

Flawless completion of that island as well. I'm debating going Into the Breach after two islands. I think I'm ready especially considering the damage plus healing I can do.

Note: I just got a gift copy of FTL in my Steam inbox, so the promotion isn't just limited to Humble/GOG. Finished my Smoky Boys run, with upgrades geared towards All of the Smoke. Archimedes is a ridiculous pilot in general, and shoutouts to whoever mentioned the synergy with the 'Shield Self' upgrade upthread. I'm still on the fence about my decision to keep the teleporter in the second slot instead of splurging on a off-class weapon. The first phase of the final battle went smoothly, but things were a little dicey in the second phse, since I miscalculated at the end of the first turn, leading to 6 enemies and 9 potential grid damage on the board at the start of the second. Vargs posted:I find Normal difficulty to be the most fun, but I feel heavily incentivized to just play on Easy to unlock new mechs. Especially since the achievements usually require you to do kinda dumb poo poo that will likely get you killed on Normal. Not really a huge fan of the fact that a long, hard-fought, successful run with a new squad gets absolutely nothing and I instead should have just spent my time breezing through Easy doing gimmick stuff. I think the incentive is there on paper, but I don't think it's as serious an issue for unlocking the basic squads. You only need the easiest 30 achievements for that, and I think that while some of them might be difficult to impossible on Normal/Hard (depending on skill level, obviously), it's certainly not 25 of them. This isn't super-scientific, but the 30th most common achievement on Steam is currently 'win games with each of 2/3/4 island completions'. It's generally a much more fair system than FTL at initial release, where you have to wait for RNG to even get the systems where the events are possible to unlock most of the ships. Unless you have a wiki open you might not know that you need specific upgrades or dialogue choices, too. Even though Advanced Edition is less bs than that, it still only provides a linear path of ship unlocks, as opposed to choosing unlocks in whatever desired order.

The only achievement I can see me using Easy mode for is the lightning war achievement. But I may take a second look at that, it's only the first two islands, so may not be too bad.

I finally beat this on Easy  I have a question about the Steel Judoka: Vice Fist power: I have 2 enemies, one on either side of my dude. When I press 1 or click on 'vice fist' it says 'no targets available'. If I instead move to a worse position where there's an open space behind me then I can select and throw the enemy (not onto each other though). Maybe I can't use this power because if I threw one onto the other, neither would die? and then there would be no space for them to go or something? This loving sucks, I'm bad at this team!

Yeah there's no mechanism to deal with two units being on the same tile so it doesn't let you. Pretty big bummer imo, it should push the bottom one back. e: but then how would it deal with there being no space for it to go. I guess it's out of simplicity that you just can't do it

It could also handle the case as a "squeeze" death. If there is no space around an enemy, and you throw another enemy on top of him, then it just kills the enemy. Simple. Maybe doing 1 dmg to the surrounding tiles if necessary.

judo mech is a little on the weak side. sure, being able to chuck giant bugs into holes is great, but that's pretty situational compared to most other primes.

Just picked this up even though FTL was way too hard for me, this game's difficulty is a lot easier to get into. Managed to win a two island victory (on easy) on my first game so that feels pretty nice. I guess I should bump it up to normal but I don't want to get stressed out.

Judo Mech really requires either Henry Kwan (Pass through enemy) or Prospero (Flight) to really shine I think. Being able to push and pull things two tiles is actually a super good ability. It's also I think the only repositioning ability that actually deals damage on the destination square leading to shenanigans with Forests and Ice.

Alkydere posted:Dunno about the hazardous guys but the flamethrowers are one of my favorite squads. I wasn't such a fan of them. They're great at direct damage and movement, but they're a bit of a pain for secondary objectives since they're prone to friendly fire on NPCs and they can't blow things up easily on their own. Fun, but with some serious weaknesses before upgrades.

How are you supposed to get lots of reactor cores? I know they can come out of pods and you can buy them from islands, but at the rate they're doled out it seems like getting even one mech fully powered would be impossible given the size of the power bar. e: not saying it should be normal to have all mechs at max power

You can also get them by protecting Cybernetics Labs or factories or whatever they're called. They'll have a little core symbol on the mission selection screen, next to the stars and lightning bolts. In other news, Team Frost Gets poo poo Done. Easily the best normal win I've had yet, and probably the most fun too. A++ would chill again.

Holy poo poo I just bought this game how did 2 hours go by. Only complaint so far is not being to see what each of the different squads do before you unlock. I just purchased the Smoke team by mistake because I clicked on their silhouettes, hoping it would give me a preview option before purchasing. Oh well.

GoldenPrice posted:i have unlocked every mech team but still missing a couple of pilots, are they just completely randomized or are there specific ways to get some of them? Some of them might be in hiding. Maybe they conceal themselves in some sort of destructible terrain that neither you nor the Vek routinely target.

I have a grip of pilots on my current timeline (two perfects and one from a pod), once I've unlocked them they will be available from the time traveler menu from now on, even if I trade them in for rep, right?

By being very anti-mountain/pro plains I managed to find both the Rock and Mantis. You'll see a little glowy dot when you get lucky. Step on it and next turn you'll hear the FTL jump noise as a unique pod slams into earth for you to pick up
