Subset Games Forum

Figuring out and posting solutions and suggestions is one thing, unpacking and potentially redistributing edited content during a closed beta is another. The game is not publicly available and we are not done with a lot of this yet.

What's done is done.

At least try to allow people (who are not actively searching for guides) to find out how to unlock the new slug ship on their own. Please use *SPOILER* warnings if you're deconstructing every new event that we spent however many hours this past week working on. Thanks.

Hi Justin. I created that wiki under the impression that it will help others who as you mention are actively looking for solutions-- most wikis I know have operated under the concept that spoilers will be apparent. So far I have sourced most of the information on that wiki on discussions people have had in places like this forum, the Get Satisfaction pages and Reddit. I hope you will allow us to continue posting content there, and in turn I will post information on the wiki about the spoilerish nature of the site.

Actually I'm a bit surprised that people have found out about the wiki as I've never advertised it and it hasn't come up in regular Google searches yet--"ftl wiki", "faster than light wiki", "ftl wikia", and "faster than light wikia" have failed to turn up the wiki on the first pages of those searches (although I'm sure that will change in time).

Wiki's are fine and all: the information's going to be around for sure. I just meant being cautious when posting in the forums or elsewhere. There's a lot of people who want to play but can't since it's closed to backers right now.

Oh and since you were curious, BP (Build Points) was part of an attempt to add customization options for the starting ship. It was abandoned because it was not fun, frankly. (I talked about it in some getsatisfaction threads somewhere)

Thank you. And I agree, spoilers ruin the fun for players and non-players alike, and I hope people will exercise restraint in the discussions ahead of the launch. I for one am looking forward to finding out all of the secrets through the game itself when it is released.

EDIT: I believe the GS post Justin was talking about is this one.

Looks like someone found the slug ship and the requirements for it.

I am mainly interested in what other little things there are.
