Subset Games Forum

First of all I watch the demo's and can't wait to try the real game.
It did however remind me about a board game called "Galaxy Trucker" here you get a pile of parts/modules that you use to make your ship of a predetermined frame. So how does this fit in with "FTL".
In "Galaxy Trucker" poorly placed modules meant that you could loose half your ship getting hit once. From what I have seen of "FTL" then a function like that would just add more excitement, when the missile hits a bad place and you need to evacuate you crew to safe areas, because your about to loose half the ship.

I was hoping to see this as well. Kind of a 'base building' type thing so how you make your ship matters. Sadly it seems they're going with presets.

Maybe in the mods after release?

What I'm hoping for is that we just get standardized frames and that it is up to us to put what we want inside them. Some having more room than others, Bigger rooms (awesome for storage, barracks, and so on), and smaller rooms for weapons lockers, door systems, and bridge.

i can see a possible ship building expansion

its a nice idea and id like it

but i wouldnt want it to get in the way of the game as it stands
