@@MagikarpsSplash Lack of a lot of coffee, as well. And also, I think this had a hint of "the youtube guy" voice. Now, Egg is more comfy on his own shell.
"Clearly what i must do is upgrade my doors so the aliens cannot break through, then open them all so that the aliens have safe passage to my other rooms." I can hardly wait for the infinite buttclenching that awaits us, it's very exciting!
It won't be long before we start seeing comments like "omg i stopped watching as soon as u got the pike beam. stop picking up beams, they are free wins no fun to watch stupid"
indeimaus True that. I would honestly be legit disappointed if NL passed on something really powerful simply because of the backlash from the meat-headed part of the community.
Shadow of gold To be fair, we can't say that with any sense of certainty as the Advanced edition is not out yet (or as far as I'm aware) so we don't know if there's something incredibly strong out there yet. Also, I could probably say the same thing about a lot of things in the Binding of Isaac. Fact of the matter is people WILL look for a reason to complain. I almost want to say it's human nature. Either way, FTL is incredibly hard and unpredictable so there's never a reason NOT to take a very powerful/cheap/op/whatever weapon anyway.
Remember you can drag the weapons in your weapon slots around so you can assign which ones get powered down first. For example, if you switched around your burst laser and artemis, 1 point of damage would not power the laser down.
I'm looking forward to this series (and hopefully this doesn't mean the Mathas and Arumba stuff is being dropped)! Also remember: if a battle is turning out really badly, you can jump away once your engine is ready!
Haha, it looks like the last crewmember actually got taken out by mind control rather than actually dying. What a scumbag slug. Glad to see this series back!
first time liking one of your youtube videos. this one deserves it. i love FTL and i love watching you fail horribly. cant wait for the release tomorrow
Pro tip Ryan, go for the Cockpit first to eliminate their Evasion. It's a strat I use to keep the enemy from using the dice against me, because I don't believe in sacrificing goats to Nuffle in order to win games, and would rather remove dice from the equation.
The Commander Saxon ***** Focus on unlocking Kestrel B. That layout is incredibly powerful and adaptable, allowing for a lot of play-styles. It starts with four crew members including a Zoltan and Mantis as well as four basic lasers. It has brought me to victory a number of times, and is less dependant on RNG to be effective (four lasers can get you pretty far without upgrading).
By all means continue this NL. CONSTRUCTIVE criticism: typically don't buy slaves. Even if you had taken damage from the fight it would have taken less scrap to repair that damage and you could still get the slave. I know saving and gathering all the scrap you can is an obvious point, but it can't be emphasized enough. Trying engaging in more fights and exploring more than you normally would. Even the the fuel shortage might have been avoided by doing this. Have to spend fuel to get fuel and the same for scrap. You did well at identifying enemy weapons, which is a vital skill. The suffocation technique is ok for invaders if they aren't near your O2 room, otherwise it may be too risky. All in all a good start.
ZebraLord13 Yeah not having to worry about 02 seem crazy. I don't know how many times I drained the 02 to kill invaders only to have a random missile hit my 02 room when I first startted.
So excited for more FTL and the new update. I was distraught when I saw they (rightfully) nerfed the cost of the first door upgrade. But then I learned you can man the doors on the fly to upgrade them as well. Fantastic addition.
See your FTL vid remember how awsome that game was launch game Runs in to a sun → another sun → enemy ship with 4 rocket launcher *deinstall game for ever... again.
thank you for this! i love ftl but because of how long a round can take, i find it hard to get myself to start a game. let's plays are great cuz i can multitask while i listen to your beautiful voice
Loven this new update. Saw that when your crew is stunned there is stars on their head. Looks like this is fun to play and do a vod of. Please do a few more episodes at least :D
13:30 why don't you take the 2 power bars from the engines to your shield system (or power down the artemis launcher) so there is no way the enemy ship could do any damage? Could have saved 4hp and 2 missiles...
Hey NL, I'm not an expert at FTL but one of the things i did learn is that since the rebel fleet advances from the left, if you're trying to grind (and you should be in every sector) you should always go to left most points and then advance to the right only to stay a little ahead of the fleet. You will hit more points in every sector with that approach (unless of course the map is a dick). Best of luck Captain NL!
Couple of suggestions: 1: Using autofire (Shortcut "V" or button below the weapon module.) to cut down on micromanagement. 2: Double clicking the "open all doors" button opens the outer doors.
Drum Bass Good for drones and the paralysis weapon is beastly, but I just can't get behind strats that don't play nice with boarding. Now there's this nice mod that replaces the Engi B ship with a glorious oh fuck you massive obsidian crystal cruiser with custom weapons and base crystal crew. That thing is just satisfying to use if we're doing weapon runs.
Good to see this series getting a reboot! A thought though: You should really start playing on easy. With this level of decision-making, you'll find that more than challenging enough as it is. It will probably serve the LP well as well, because you'll get further into the game each run that way.
LOL.. You nearly suffocated the entire ship! Try closing a few more 'key' doors! Can't wait to play this again, looks like a lot of new stuff to unlock. :)
peanutbutterdo I can win about half the time on Easy, but it always seems like I land the finishing blow at one health with one of my systems on fire/crew nearly dead of oxygen starvation/the finishing blow from the Flagship is literally coming at my ship right as I win. I don't think I'm quite up to Normal yet lol.
ZebraLord13 i just won on normal with the same thing, I saw my ship break apart at the same time as the flagship but the game decided i won. so there's that.

Its crazy how much his voice has changed over the years.
Yeah, I think its mostly the microphone and energy.
@@MagikarpsSplash Lack of a lot of coffee, as well.
And also, I think this had a hint of "the youtube guy" voice. Now, Egg is more comfy on his own shell.
He is talking at least twice as fast... XD
The pitch and timbre is the mic setup. The cadence and content is down to experience.
I’m not exactly sure what everyone means when they say this. His voice sounds basically the same?
Thanks for the support on the series so far guys! :)
Ashame I've seen no one but me play this game lately it's still great :D
+MoodysMedia I still play C:
Bob Jones ive been playing it on my channel cause i still find the game fun :D
+Northernlion Its a great series thanks for making it!
+Northernlion Pls Bring This Series Back!!!!
coming back to this after Egg Father's recent adventures in space, a lot of pre-dad energy going on.
"Clearly what i must do is upgrade my doors so the aliens cannot break through, then open them all so that the aliens have safe passage to my other rooms." I can hardly wait for the infinite buttclenching that awaits us, it's very exciting!
Alright, a new NL series I can watch without being spoiled!
It won't be long before we start seeing comments like "omg i stopped watching as soon as u got the pike beam. stop picking up beams, they are free wins no fun to watch stupid"
Rage VG They're losers tho
indeimaus
True that. I would honestly be legit disappointed if NL passed on something really powerful simply because of the backlash from the meat-headed part of the community.
There's bosses at the end, you know :P

Downloaded the playlist of this for work watching, and didn't realize how old it was. Good lord his voice has changed. Took me by surprise.
"We can power down the med bay to power the weapons"
*powers down engine*
Yup, this is definitly Northenlion playing FTL...
Hard difficulty sounds like insanity. I can't even beat easy.
Anyone here beat the boss? And how?
Bombs ftw ^_^
It's not that hard really, there's a lot of ways to counter bosses attacks.
Yes, I beat the final boss on Easy. By using a maxed out shield, and destroying his weapons first with a teleporter.
ExcaliburSonic1594 That's what I try to do as well, but I never get the scrap to buy everything I want/need.
I did it with the Stealth Cruiser A, it's the best one.
I always die against the drones.
Please keep playing FTL for ages. I was looking for a series just like when I looked for Isaac and here I am.. your rogue videos are awesome.
So, it's time once again to watch Captain Letourneau lead his unfortunate crew to their horrible deaths. Yay!
Hello brother. After 2 years I have found you.
Have to love that ending.
"I offer ridiculously overpriced fuel."
"We have no money..."
"-???! DIE!"
NL sounds like a completely different person now. I'm still not convinced he didn't switch into someone else at some point in the last 5 years.
Remember you can drag the weapons in your weapon slots around so you can assign which ones get powered down first. For example, if you switched around your burst laser and artemis, 1 point of damage would not power the laser down.
NL: play this for 700 episodes
me seeing the playlist is 80 long: "i've been lied to"
You’re 5 years too late
Be happy lil Dorothy
I just discovered his stream a few weeks ago and this is blowing my mind. Its crazy how much someones voice can change
Good to see this series back. Loving the content as always NL. Keep up the awesome.
I'm looking forward to this series (and hopefully this doesn't mean the Mathas and Arumba stuff is being dropped)!
Also remember: if a battle is turning out really badly, you can jump away once your engine is ready!
So damn excited for this series. FTL + NL = FTLNL, which translates to 'awesome' in certain Latin dialects.
I'm stoked for the drop tomorrow keep the series going man!
I'm glad you're doing a new series, Northernlion. I never got around to watching your original FTL, but this will be nice.
Looks like nothing have changed since last LP. Majority of comments is still "HAHA XX:XX STOOPID MISTAKE, NL SO BED AT GAEMS"
So glad that this series is back as regular!
I'll start playing along when the content patch is released.
Haha, it looks like the last crewmember actually got taken out by mind control rather than actually dying. What a scumbag slug. Glad to see this series back!
Pls bring it back... I miss this series xc
This music after not hearin it for so long brings tears to my eyes. So good!
very good, this was one of my favourite series and i am glad you brought it back. Good luck on trying to beat it
crazy how when you put this at 0.75x speed it becomes current day NL
Holy shit you're right
lmao this is great
god damn its perfect
Just when i thought I was finally free of my FTL addiction they pull me back in.
Sir Adrian is the game that good?
@@SaadTheGlad it's hard in a way that keeps you comming back because you "almost" won a run
Man, with all the content in ftl, this could be the best LP NL ever did :)
Please continue this series! I love seeing all the new stuff that has been added.
FTL is probably one of my favorite games ever. Spaceship roguelike. So happy!
Northernlion.... I love you. All my favorite games I can just google it and watch you play. Never stop being awsome!
2:15 An advanced ship searching that exact part of the nebula for your exact ship, seems as likely as putting the USB in the first time.
90 hours into this game. Haven't regretted a single second of it.
Sweet, a new _NL LP_, life just got a lil' bit better.
first time liking one of your youtube videos. this one deserves it. i love FTL and i love watching you fail horribly. cant wait for the release tomorrow
I am quite glad that I got this recommended at this point of time.
This is the first video I have seen of yours and good lord you have a lot of energy. I'm a fan.
im proud NL you did a whole commentary on the game itself!
Pro tip Ryan, go for the Cockpit first to eliminate their Evasion. It's a strat I use to keep the enemy from using the dice against me, because I don't believe in sacrificing goats to Nuffle in order to win games, and would rather remove dice from the equation.
I haven't even beaten FTL... STILL HYPE ANYWAY
I made it to System 3 once....

IncoherentOrange Cool!
I could easily watch a FTL video everyday. Great stuff.
So happy you are playing FTL again!
Dang. The first Northernlion video I watched was his first FTL video.
Wow! You suddenly gave me a HUGE urge to play this game again! So happy there is an update!
Absolutely adoring this! FTL is one of my favorite games and watching you play is so fun! :D
By all means continue this NL.

You did well at identifying enemy weapons, which is a vital skill. The suffocation technique is ok for invaders if they aren't near your O2 room, otherwise it may be too risky.
All in all a good start.
Suffocation tactics get hilarious if you have the new alien species; the Lanius.
ZebraLord13 Yeah not having to worry about 02 seem crazy. I don't know how many times I drained the 02 to kill invaders only to have a random missile hit my 02 room when I first startted.

I'm real excited for any new videos about this game!
your work on this series has inspired me to purchase the game! Thank you!
Damn, it's been a while, so glad your starting FTL again
YES
See your FTL vid
remember how awsome that game was
launch game
Runs in to a sun → another sun → enemy ship with 4 rocket launcher
*deinstall game for ever... again.
I just restart the run when I run into a sun xp
Okay the fact that you can now see where you can jump to when you hover over a node is really useful.
I remember this game, and I remember you Northernlion you were great glad I found one of your vids after so long
Ooooo, new FTL content! I may have to brush the dust off of Steam and boot this game up again!
just came here from the recent lets look at, damn it 's been a while, here we go again
As a Pomeroy, I'd like to thank you for pronouncing my last night right. Cheers NL. Keep on keepin' on
OMFG norternlion is playing this is so AAAWSOOOME
I have played a little since the update and I just liked the fact that the hotkey for the crew to return to their stations is actually the Return key.
thank you for this! i love ftl but because of how long a round can take, i find it hard to get myself to start a game. let's plays are great cuz i can multitask while i listen to your beautiful voice
YES! I love to watch You playing this game. Daily please!
"oh a FTL lets play this could be fun"
*powers down engines during the first fight while keeping the med bay powered*
"ok thats my cue"
*closes tab*
Glad to see these back. i love it.
Ive completed dark souls, xcom on superhuman and xcom 2012 on impossible yet i can't even beat ftl normal, why the hard mode? xD
Because in games you mentioned you rely on your skill and strategy. FTL is 80% RNG.
zorkan111 It may be stupid to ask but what the RNG means? :)
MrDreknar Random number generator, in other words luck
MrDreknar random number generator. Basically a video game version of luck, or random chance.
TehCoopaTroopa
Raymond L Thanks to both of you :)
Finally, FTL steps up to it's real potential. I'm glad to see it revived, and excited to get this update soon.
I have so much fun playing this game! it is truly one of the best!
First vid of yours that I ever watched and gotta say, I enjoyed it a lot. Nice work. I look forward to seeing your other vids :)
really hope you continue this series
This is one of my favourite series.
YEEES! So cool that you play this! I approve! Have fun, NL!
Glad to see some more FTL!
Having a long episode is preferred from my end.
Bought Original FTL game because of your videos, looking forward to this video.
Loven this new update. Saw that when your crew is stunned there is stars on their head. Looks like this is fun to play and do a vod of. Please do a few more episodes at least :D
13:30 why don't you take the 2 power bars from the engines to your shield system (or power down the artemis launcher) so there is no way the enemy ship could do any damage? Could have saved 4hp and 2 missiles...
Northernlion? nah, my brain thinkies Northerlinion

You will hit more points in every sector with that approach (unless of course the map is a dick). Best of luck Captain NL!
Yeah he needs to milk each sector more.
A few hours ago, I beat the game on easy.
It was my first run with the federational cruiser. I'm so happy!
Couple of suggestions:
1: Using autofire (Shortcut "V" or button below the weapon module.) to cut down on micromanagement.
2: Double clicking the "open all doors" button opens the outer doors.
CAN'T WAIT FOR TOMORROW, THE C LAYOUTS(too bad none for crystal) AND NEW RACE SEEMS COOL AS FUCK
being a semi-expert on FTL this was a tad bit painful to watch XD
Favorite ship of base game? Crystal B was my lady.
hockeater the mantis ship is my favorite, I like to board their ships :)
Boe Bot Similar playstyle eh? I mainly board too but find the the crystal boarding strats safer thanks to free cloak and the lockdown ability.
Drum Bass Good for drones and the paralysis weapon is beastly, but I just can't get behind strats that don't play nice with boarding. Now there's this nice mod that replaces the Engi B ship with a glorious oh fuck you massive obsidian crystal cruiser with custom weapons and base crystal crew. That thing is just satisfying to use if we're doing weapon runs.
Can I place some love for the Rock B? There's something very serene and absolutely insane about the fire-boarding tactic. :3
I'm excited for this series!
Yes I missed these, thank you so much!
Good to see this series getting a reboot! A thought though: You should really start playing on easy. With this level of decision-making, you'll find that more than challenging enough as it is. It will probably serve the LP well as well, because you'll get further into the game each run that way.
This news made my week
Oh, hamburgers! You bought and freed Butters!
HOLY CRAP, NL LEARNED HOW TO POWER DOWN THE MEDBAY! HE IS LEARNING!
subbed because his original ftl series
YES!!! i rly want to see you finish this game!
Thank you Egg for that Pinky and the Brain reference at 13:34. I thought no one remembered that show.
Great game! Will totally watch the series, and play FTL as well.
Omg love this you are amazing I really hope you will continue this series for 9999999999999999 episodes :)
LOL.. You nearly suffocated the entire ship! Try closing a few more 'key' doors! Can't wait to play this again, looks like a lot of new stuff to unlock. :)
I so hope they start doing a FTL race on the NLSS!
yes yes yes fun fun fun... haven't even watched this yet but I'm so pumped!!!
Wow, you can explain everything you do so quickly.
A hard difficulty? Wow, I can't even beat the game on normal.
I can't on easy!
Not surprised, i haven't played it but it looks pretty hard.
peanutbutterdo
I can win about half the time on Easy, but it always seems like I land the finishing blow at one health with one of my systems on fire/crew nearly dead of oxygen starvation/the finishing blow from the Flagship is literally coming at my ship right as I win. I don't think I'm quite up to Normal yet lol.
ZebraLord13 i just won on normal with the same thing, I saw my ship break apart at the same time as the flagship but the game decided i won. so there's that.
I can't even win on easy ever and I have played 100 hours on steam yet I still really enjoy the game.
The Progress is unbelievable
8:35: "totally should power down the med bay and power up the engines"
YES THANK THE LORD
