While most can agree this is a great game. It has one major

>it is RNG heavy

Victory isn't dependent on RNG in FTL so it's not an issue

This.

FTL is a great game. But once you need harder difficulty to enjoy it. The game become a dice roll.

There is a twitch streamer who had a 39 game win streak in FTL on hard advanced edition. He lost in the 40th game due to decision making, not RNG. He used every ship and layout

FTL is never RNG based beyond the first few jumps of the game where losing has no stakes

>it's not an issue that almost every "important" choice you have to make along the way is a 50% chance of either succeeding or losing a crew member
Nah, fuck that. The RNG in the game is shitty, and I'd rather them just flat out take away a crew member when I hit an event than give me a meaningless choice that would result in the same outcome anyway.

IMO, the main problem is that you're gonna be fighting the exact same boss in every game you play. You can't avoid it and some weapons are just shit against it, while others give you a big advantage.
There's nothing wrong with relying on RNG in a game like this, where you have to roll with the punches and do the best you can with what you can find/buy. However, when you keep going towards that one boss it becomes about finding the right weaponry and equipment to deal with those three fights, not about surviving and trying out new shit.
That's the biggest problem (and it's not a huge one, but it's there) for me. Having a randomly generated boss or choosing between two bosses or something else might have been better.

No, this game is Flak I based.
Fucking overpowered piece of shit.

This. You guys don't know what you're talking about.

>>376546574
Link? I legit struggle with this game sometimes

>>376548084
I'm guessing he's talking about LethalFrag, just google him.

If by RNG heavy you mean you went to see giant alien spiders and it didn't turn out as fun as you expected, then that is entirely your fault and the game is perfectly fine as it is

There aren't many no-win events and all the rest you can either take your chances and roll the dice or not or come prepared with whatever system/crew/etc. that grants you a (beneficial) blue option. Pretty much all choices in pretty much all games are meaningless, in FTL they add to the feeling of being a fairly helpless ship on the run and having to make the best of whatever's thrown your way imo.
