god i love FTL. my only gripe with FTL is that you can beat 99% of encounters with any weapon set (at least on easy/normal, prob not on hard) or method (like killing crew) but you HAVE to have cloaking + good weapons to beat the final boss ship. i had a monster crew killing squad (bad weapons too) but we had NO chance against the boss. they heal too fast + they've got so many crew members.
Yeah, you're not wrong there, although I would say you can definitely beat the flagship with crappy weapons and no cloak. Boarding and a few other things are way less useful for it than gunboats which is a problem tho
That's weird, because I found crew killing to be almost cheesy in how effective it was against the final ship. Two soldiers into each weapon room and they're effectively offline for the entirety of the fight, allowing you to dismantle the ship at your leisure.
Yeah, it really did fuck me up that there was no way for my bad ass boarding squad to really do anything. I dunno if they ever chanfed it. But somehow tha tis still burned into my brain
