FTL is a frantic permadeath game about managing the crew of an interstellar ship as it voyages through hostile space. Imagine being Captain Kirk, but your bridge crew is a bunch of morons. Putting out literal fires and driving off enemy boarding parties takes up the lion’s share of your time. There is a delicious tension between handling emergencies and navigating the cold depths of the galaxy. Subset Games has announced FTL: Advanced Edition<\/a> and there are a few reasons for you to get this expansion.<\/p>\n

After the jump, the ship can’t take much more of this!<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Chris Avellone of successful crowd-sourced games Wasteland 2 and Project Eternity, is teaming up with SubSet Games’ writer Tom Jubert to add new hazards and a dangerous new sector to destroy your ship.<\/p>\n

2. Saving and quitting will be possible in combat. No more missing dinner because your crew is in the middle of an emergency! Well, not on purpose anyway.<\/p>\n

3. Hacking and mind control will give you new ways to screw with your enemies. Hey, they’re messing with you, so why not mess with them?<\/p>\n

4. A Star Destroyer’s worth of new equipment is being added. New weapons, effects, drones, enemy ships, and other items that will kill your crew in advanced ways.<\/p>\n

5. You don’t have to play with any of the new stuff unless you want it. Advanced Edition features can be turned off before you start a new game.<\/p>\n

6. The expansion is free and coming for all owners of the regular game in early 2014! Free! Woo! There’s also a iPad version coming for starship captains to play while using the most important room in the ship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
