Hey! I quite like your style of narration, definitely interesting to watch. It's a shame you don't have more views. Also thanks for teaching me a few techniques!

Really good gameplay! I learned a lot being a noob at ftl. I also like the narration. Keep it up!

5:46 that sums up my luck in this game quite accurately. I’ve recently just been trying to figure out how to cope with garbage RNG in this game

A fan of Douglas Adams, eh?

Beats FTL on all ships on hard. Calls self "Fairly good player"

+Shane Parslow hehe. I'm far from great.... I make PLENTY of mistakes, especially on this run. Check out darktwinge and some other guys. They have high win rates on hard - I pretty much grinded out my wins! I still play though. Such a good game.

Mike Hopley is super helpful as well with tutorials. He has a really informative video on ion dodging (the shields depowering trick). Your issue was that you waited for the last second to depower shields, you want to depower them while the ion is offscreen, then repower them while the ion is still offscreen, this way shields begin recharging while the ion is in the air but they won’t be back up until (hopefully) after the ion hits and then they’ll be up to block the next attack. Don’t get me wrong I can still tell you’re much better at this game than I am lmaooo
