Within seconds I am losing my ability to fire back at their ship. This is bad, the more they destroy the less power goes to my weapons. The Mantis start attacking my weapons room. Breckon jumps to using the extinguisher, while Elizabeth heads to help. Beating a hasty retreat I open the bay doors, sucking out all the air from where the Mantis are attacking.Īs this on-ship struggle continues, missiles strike the Mallard and set her bridge ablaze. Suitably impressed, my smile fades quickly as the two men are outfought to near-death. The two crewmen, in a dashing show of bravado, begin to starting punching the monstrous insect attackers instead of shooting them with their laser guns. The Mantis board and start attacking my oxygen supply. Only the ship is already taken, and crawling with Mantis! Probably unsettling the crew with my self-appreciative guffawing, I point us towards an Engi ship being attacked in the distance. “Haha! I am the dread pirate Tuco, prepare-” I cut the pirate off as three volleys of laser shred his ship to bits in a matter of seconds. I encounter a pirate ship on my next jump. The Mallard looking pretty deadly, as far as ducks go. My luck is on the up! I now have four weapons to use on the Mallard, all powered up and ready to go. It was just floating there in space apparently. My trip through Engi space is oddly uneventful, I pick up a new burst laser (three shot lasers that can pepper enemy ships with fire) and some spare scrap. The Zoltan are allies to the Federation so I graciously accept and get a little scrap into the bargain to go along with what is probably radiation poisoning, Moving on a Zoltan (glowy-elf like people of FTL’s lore) research station appears and asks to perform research on us by scanning the ship. Sometimes the multiple choice scenarios in FTL can leave you with nothing, everything or straight up deathyness, so these moments are usually strangely tense. There might be someone on board! I immediately send my crew in to investigate, complaining of an upset stomach when they ask if I’ll be joining them. The resistance I do come across is easily dealt with by my by now pretty hefty combat power. Resigning myself to just fixing my ship my crew and I press on. Annoyingly my next jump is a store, and with only 52 scrap, I’m hard pressed to buy any of the sparkling death-dealing weaponry on display. According to the space map that means that the zone is friendly.
