5:15 Fun fact! If you have a fire beam you can also burn their crops ;) P.S. there is another event with the fire bomb where you get the quest to scout out a mantis(?) camp. Normally when you arrive you’re forced to back out but if you have the fire bomb you get a good bit off loot and a crew member. Speaking of fire, some of my most fun moments is fire beam + rock crewmen + teleporter. I know the B variant has the fire bomb but I swap it out for the fire beam every time. Nothing beats being able to set half their ship + medbay on fire, then after fighting them to get them low hp, teleporting back to your ship to watch them burn.
My favourite tactic in the entire game is doing boarding with Rock B. Imagine fighting two 150HP enemies in a room that's burning. Heavily recommended. Also... oh god, SS13 references. The flashbacks
Hey, enjoying your FTL content! For the Shivan(my favourite rockmen ship), one very silly way to be able to vent out your oxygen is to purposefully leave a hull breach in your ship, systemless room preferably. You’ll still need to pay for the doors to have control of it however, so it’s incredibly niche at best. As for firebombing your own ship, the only best case scenario I can think of is to sow chaos to enemies during enemy teleporter breach events where ship combat and maintaining systems isn’t a high priority issue, even then it’s likely better to just punch them to death. Hope to see more FTL content, subbed because funny
there are tectites even cooler then the ones you showed. Button tectites or australites, formed from the stable decent of molten rock, were used to design the Apollo re-entry module.
I once had Rock B with teleporter. Nothing beats teleporting 2 Rockmen and a firebomb into their weapons. They have to get through 300 HP before they can stop the fire burning their weapons and their faces.
Hey! Love your videos about races, just enjoyable and nice montage with interesting facts. Keep it up! Def subing and liking. 10 out of 10 fire bomb war crimes
I think the rock ships work best if you get a teleporter. You start with a lot of rocks and weapons that cause fires. It's a great synergy, only teleporter not included :(. If you can sell the hull missile and rock plating and pick up a teleporter with the rock A, you have a good run going. You just really need to find a store with teleporter. B&C are even better. Just watch out! I found out that your rocks are not harmed by the fires your bombs set, BUT they are harmed by the bombs themselves. So teleporting two rocks in and then fire bombing the guys who come fight them is dangerous. Hilarious, but dangerous.
Their extra health may be good for getting around that, in a pinch. Setting fire to any medbay would give your rocks a great advantage while boarding! I may have to try this strategy out sometime soon
Re: Photoshop, Gimp is a good free alternative with great tutorials out there, but I'd be happy to help if it means the videos keep coming with this quality.
It’s certainly the main attraction right now, but remember, this is a sideshow… you never know what the next main attraction may be! Besides that, specialization is for insects. I’ll make what I like regardless of what the current main attraction is
Freespace is a great space fighter game. 2 is definitely better though. I have some very fond memories of the game. Freelancer, considered one of the best open world space sim games (especially for its time), took heavy inspiration from it. The Descent series is also really good (if I remember right the only reason Interplay put Descent into Freespace 1's title was to sell more copies, made by the same devs though). And I think you can get Descent 1 and 2 on abandonware sites for free these days, can't remember for sure though. And there's mods for QoL and widescreen and HD and all that.
@@SamsSideshow Nvm, must be mistaking them for some other games I found for free... Or remembering that GOG has them DRM free so sometimes I share copies with friends, lol. Still, if you want head spinning retro sci fi action... They're all pretty fun games.
Rockmen gotta have the best repair animation ever
**pom**
**psh**
**psh**
**pom**

getting a few rockmen repairing at once while desynchronized makes the most fire beats ever
The Rockmen theme will forever be ingrained in my head.
It’s a good one!

Also, VG is a great station to play on

Hmm, that is an amusing strategy. It may be something to look into. Also, thanks!
Rock and Zoltan ships have the coolest names. It's hard to beat Tectite or Noether. Coolest physicist. Coolest name. Symmetry, baby!
I'll say again, I love me some new FTL content. Thanks 🙏
I’ll probably be releasing a new one every three weeks, so don’t worry, more will certainly be on the way!

That’s sweet! I shall look into these
The true Australium.
wait, FTL is popular again?! I haven't touch my FTL Multiverse in years now
Nostalgia, perhaps? To me, it just seemed like a good video idea
This just showed up in my recommended for you, and I cannot wait to watch more of your videos. Great stuff!
Ayyy, thank you very much! Glad to have you here :)

Sweet, thank ya! More war crimes will be in the next FTL video, as I’ll be discussing the Slugs ;3

I appreciate that! I’ll definitely look into Gimp, I like free software
0:37 space station 13 capt hat :D
Ayyyyy, glad ya caught it! I was going to give him the captain cloak, but it did not look good while editing
1:05 Humans with Earth :
Lol came to comment the same thing...
Like. I'm pretty sure I know tne Canon Human homeworld...
Rockmen is the best race after crystals
They are walking wrecking balls, it’s pretty awesome
why does your game look more HD then mine? i feel like the sprites have more pixels.
I don’t play in full screen, I do windowed. So maybe that’s it?
@@SamsSideshow that fixed it thanks, ive been playing this game blurry for 250 hours.... dear god
Holy crow, I’m glad that helped
Can I get a link to that chart of religions please?
Sure thing, it’s from the SS13 VG wiki ss13.moe/wiki/index.php?title=Chaplain
Unless I've been playing way too much Multiverse
I'm pretty sure humans have a canon home world too, Earth
At least
I'm pretty sure it shows up
Maybe? I do not ever remember seeing it in the base game
It's definitely in Multiverse
Idk lol, I haven't played the base game in so long lol, there might not
Oh cool you remembered what people were subbing to your channel for.
