FTL - Faster than Light

Progress will be kept and many unlocks will become easier (I think you get a new unlock every time you win, so you can just keep spamming victories).

Oh, the victory spamming bit sucks. That's gonna take all the fun out of the hunt.

Haha, take a look at the date, Stingray ;-)

No April Fools, that's seriously what they're doing. Or that's my understanding at least. I'm not sure if this is only for old or new ships, mind.

Personally I hate the current finickity unlock system so I think it's a great change.

I'm lazy to read so I don't actually know what decision was made. IIRC, there will be a switch anyway to keep the old system.

[Stingray1]

I'm scared to read, but I hope you remember correctly. That would mean they catered for both us and the fools.

They're turning the different quests and things that trigger the unlocks into achievements, so even if you use the new system there will still be the achievements to hunt down. Which is much better than unlocks in my opinion. I hate unlocks!

So, I just had my first shot at Advanced and Hard(was already kind of difficult on normal ) difficulty with the Kestrel(You know deleted my old profile, as this is a new game really). Dies in sector 2. These new additions, make it, well, not too simple.

Have fun guys and girl.

E: It looks like I'm gonna be forced to play this in easy mode.

Question: in the 'hidden sector' does the rebel fleet still follow you (for whoever was lucky enough to find it)?

Yes.

Gotta love new things. I have been slain by the flagships a couple of times already, it's a such refreshing experience.
