  • June 6, 2024 stream, playing FTL on hard difficulty with NO pausing! Our first run today on the Kestrel C was pretty smooth, and the next ship we random is one of my favorites: the Stealth A! This ship starts with fast weapons, cloaking, level 4 engines, and 2 very useful augments, which makes it super strong early. It can still have trouble with beam master ships before getting shields online, but hopefully this strong ship can keep the streak strong as we go for that 22nd GG, cookie time in a row! -- Watch live at / rand118

    You're a real one for using the Mitch Hedberg joke to such relevancy with singing/composing.
    Loved his comedy, such a unique take on the most everyday aspects of life and that delivery of his was one of a kind. RIP Mitch.

    Loved the operas/operettas/musicals discussion. Gilbert & Sullivan and Rodgers & Hammerstein will always have a place in my heart

    This run had some similarities to my shieldless stealth A that I recorded: You started the run by buying a charge laser, and later on you got a free halberd. Where it differs is that I think I ended up with two halbers and some other beam for a beams only build, whereas you kept the dual laser and added a free flak. Nice run :D

    Phantom is....fine....Les Mis is actually great though Rand you really need to see it sometime. The movies suck...the next best to live would be the 10th anniversary stage production they did that you can still find out there.
    Hamilton is great, but it's more about how it's all put together than the music itself...the music is fine but the show in it's entirety is the point.
    Man of La Mancha...now THAT'S a good musical.

    rand should obviously make FTL parody songs of musicals. "the name on everybody's lips is gonna be,,,, Rock C!"

    Only having 3 Weapon slots does not mean that you yill gett guaranteed 3 drone slots, since Mantis B starts with a 3/2 setup

    Hey, i'm a self taught FTL player been playing for around 6 years, but I don't know what a cycle is. What is it?

    • @TheRedWon

      I think it's beating the game with every ship in random order and no losses

    • @rand118
      @rand118  3 місяці тому

      Winning with all 28 ships in a row is what I'm referring to as 'the cycle.' The point of this "Hard mode, NO pause Streak cycle" challenge is to beat all 28 FTL ships in a row, randomly selected with no pausing allowed during combat. And of course, if you lose a run, the cycle resets and we start over!

    Hi there! question. when hacking the flag ship during second phase, you always seam to hit the shields with the hack on second try (usually gets shot 1st try) but always land it second. i just did 3 separate playthroughs with hack lvl 3 and couldnt land it after 8-9 tries and just rage quit. is there something im missing your doing?

    • @apeters8
      @apeters8 3 місяці тому +3

      You have to depower hacking right as the defense drones fire at it.
      It's easy to mess up on no pause, so he doesn't always get it the first try, but it's pretty easy with pause.

    • @puzzlefade
      @puzzlefade 3 місяці тому +1

      He has a short that teaches you how to do it using pause! It's been so good for my runs

    • @Setixir
      @Setixir 3 місяці тому

      You can do this with any defense drone. Set hacking to level 1. Launch it. Wait until defense drone fires. Depower hacking right away. Then repower it. Defense drone fires as of the drone was still moving so the shot misses and the hacking drone goes through.

    • @rand118
      @rand118  3 місяці тому +1

      I think you're misunderstanding how the hacking drone past defense drone mechanic works. When I do it phase 2 of the boss, I'm not using 2 drones. I'm depowering Hacking RIGHT as the enemy defense drone fires to make its shot miss, then repowering hacking for the drone to get to the enemy ship. This is a well-established strategy that you can probably find many videos on how to do on UA-cam. Look up "FTL Hacking Defense Drone Bypass Trick," or something similar.
