FTL Hard mode, NO pause, Shieldless Stealth A As Intended, 2nd attempt

July 9, 2024 stream, playing FTL on hard difficulty with NO pausing! Our first attempt to win with Stealth A with no shields was pretty good, making it to the 2nd phase of the boss. With no shields, I attempted to use teleporter as my extra system for some crew kills. However, as Mike Hopley commented, crew killing the boss with no shields is very dangerous. So this time, we will attempt to use drone control and see if we can get that GG, cookie time on a Shieldless Stealth A run! -- Watch live at / rand118

Oh man, that's old school Brian Regan. He is definitely one of the best comedians. One of my favorites as well. I've seen him a few times live in Dallas and he is absolutely great.

great stream!

Mantis C as intended = 4 lanius boarding! Sounds difficult to pull off but cool af to see in action. Think about it 😉

I'd agree with the sentiment that Zoltan shield / shield drone are basically the same as defense drone 2 for this run especially considering the bull the game threw at you in the rebel stronghold sector.

outstanding run

[@timecubed]

very fast run, even shieldless. good job on the run!

[@TheRedWon]

So on the Federation ships do you need to max artillery? I sadistically want to see that happen!

[@rand118]

Hah, most likely we will have to focus on artillery for the Fed ships "as intended"....we'll see if we get to any of those!

1:20:50 this game is so dumb that even the pulsar has zoltan shield bypass, Apparently just ''they have to had some Zoltan Shield Bypass thing'' to random boarding events its not enough

[@semajniomet981]

It only has this behavior if there isn't a Shield system. With Shields, it affects the ZSS as normal.

[@dogeycraft4136]

@@semajniomet981 yeah i know, just was making a joke because almost all bad events that you have the zoltan shield the games just says '' they have zoltan shieldbypass'' and the games just F the player

Can confirm the last bit!
