I used to hate going to nebulas, but seriously, the risk of the ion storm is far worth it for the slow rebel fleet, you can jump to like x2 amount of beacons
I could literally hear the rockman gasping:
"RYaAnnn pls shut the doors, power the o2, pls RYAN omfg... ryyyaann i am dying in here pls the doors....."
I gotta beat this off camera: The Northernlion Story.
>Northernlion rejects offers for not having enough scrap
>Northernlion thinks because he collects more scrap blowing the ships up, the crew must be holding out on scrap
>The extra scrap comes from the wreckage of their ships
>Northernlion kills ships for selfishly not killing themselves to give him more scrap
>Canadian logic
u wot m8?
+KingGimpicus i know i'm happy someone mentions this that there's more scrap because of the ship is blown to pieces not because they are holding out x3d
I have to say, that whole oxygen debacle was like watching someone break a woodchipper by painfully grinding their face against the blades.
It's cute how NL treats his cats like they are kids... He's so going to be a old cat man.
There IS a way to get the Zoltan energy shield without playing as a Zoltan ship. If you do the side-quest that unlocks the Zoltan ship when you already have it unlocked, you will get the Zoltan energy shield augment. This is very nice as it is probably the easiest ship quest in the game and it gives you the best reward for doing it.
That's not guaranteed. Sometimes you get a Zoltan crew member with max stats in everything instead. Still solid, though.
Seeing as NL actually came across this side-quest, I'm curious. Is it possible to do the quest as the Zoltan cruiser and get ANOTHER energy shield? If so, what happens? Do you get 10 free hits instead of 5 or something?
I love when Northernlion talks too/about his cats. It makes me comfortable knowing i'm not the only person who talks to there cats casually like that. :P
Cats are amazing animal :3 I used to talk to mine all the time
Will Brewster Cats are cool, but i fucking hate them. Most of them
sparkly_Doughnuts I get your sentiment. Though I might be a bit more extreme. I like cats but everytime the cats of neighbours down the road tear up our cat, I grab my bb-gun and end up hunting the little basterds. Really do love our puss though.
My cats are extremely entertaining.
27:15 That was a Zoltan peace envoy. If you hear them out (and don't go all trigger happy as you are wont to do, you ding dong), you get a quest marker. At this quest marker, you can potentially get the Zoltan shield (if you don't already have it) or an extremely skilled crewmember. You also get what amounts to fuck all if you destroy it.
So maybe don't attack it the next time you see it ...
Interestingly enough he must've done this quest before, because that's how you get the Zoltan Cruiser in the first place.
***** I mentioned nothing about the Zoltan cruiser because I know he already has it. (Given that he's, you know, using it.) Also, my point was that the quest provides other rewards - the shield itself (as an augment) or a Zoltan crew member named Envoy who has two-star skills in everything.
Rijnswaand This is Northernlion. I doubt he remembers what the peace envoy does. (It helps that it's been a really long time since he's unlocked the Zoltan cruiser.)
***** That's true. It's never occurred to me to destroy the envoy in my own FTL play because, hey, free augment/crewmember. I might've facepalmed a bit when Northernlion said "attack, always attack," but at least I got to see what happens when you don't choose optimally. (Which is NL in a nutshell, although he's been getting better.)
Perhaps an idea for the future to use mindcontrol on intruder events. It might save you some trouble.
Good job man, you are getting better for sure! Don't sweat the solar flares O2 death, I had that happen once and it was pretty brutal. It's the kind of thing where you don't even realize how serious it is until its too late, though after that you probably wont let it happen again.
At the end there you had a few missteps, but you might have been able to get a bit further if you had invested in upgrading the piloting system. In that last fight, pretty much the worst case scenario with the enemy mind control is they get your pilot. When that happens, if you have no autopiloting, your evasion goes to 0 and you are gonna get smacked by 3 missiles followed quickly by 10-11 heavy lasers... So I've learned that you want to if possible a) be able to hack or take down their mind control with missiles immediately and/or b) have a slug pilot (can't be mind controlled) and/or c) have as much autopiloting as possible
Oxygen is down? better open all doors. Northernlion logic.
You say you're getting so bored of boarding situations, yet every episode you seem to have one boarding encounter that almost kills you. I can't believe you survived that oxygen problem.
There isn't a word in the english language for the sound I made when you left those doors open.
I am so glad you're still playing FTL even after you've beaten the game. This is one of my favorite LP you have done so far.
I like to note getting lvl 2 medbay and o2 is always worth it just for the system not going out after taking one damage. Like a boarding operation or a stray missile.
And with medbay there are several encounters that will get helped by advanced med bay. paying for the investment most of the time.
Protip: You can force intruders to teleport back by hacking their teleporter-room.
NL if they offer to hear them out in zoltan homeworlds, do it they give you a quest that enable you to have either a really skilled zoltan, or the zoltan shield.
You have 25 drones halfway through sector 7 WHY WOULD YOU NEED DRONE RECOVERY ARM?
don't have Zoltans as pilots; its a waste of their special power
I love coming back to these old videos years later just to see how he manages to cock it up. It's always entertaining, if slightly infuriating as well, even if you know it's coming as inevitably as the tides. Could easily have made it out of that invasion event without losing a single crew member.
That Oxygen incident was horrifyingly sad. I felt bad for those crewmen. Though, goodjob on you NL! You are improving far faster then I! XD
You got very unlucky more than once in this run, NL. Good going despite the trouble.
I normally get pissy when you mess up in a really silly way, but though it did happen this time, you were quick to acknowledge it - shows you've learned a lot! Keep it up.
I have to go before I finish the video, however I wish to comment from the distant land of 42 minutes!
You got a rockman (twice), when you get a new crew member on this ship you should have anyone that isn't a zoltan pilot. It gives you one more power on top of a crew member adding to your ships abilities if zoltan are in engines, shields, or weapons. If you have extra outside of that, any powered system you use all the time is a perfect candidate, such as oxygen. Just be aware that moving them removes 1 power from that area.
Overrunning the map - I don't know if I or anyone else mentioned this, but in the rare instances when you are extremely powerful compared to the sector you're in, you can continue to explore past the exit. Doing so can be extremely effective to get you more scrap, so long as you end off in a spot where you are one jump away from the exit (unless you're daring or powerful), you fight a rebel ship, get fuel, and jump to the next sector.
"Would be pretty crazy if I was a parent"
Yes, yes it is, but you're an excellent one
Rewatching this is so fun
Couldn't agree more, thanks for reminding me to watch the rest of the series
If you hack the teleporter it immediately takes any units back to their ship in addition to trapping them in the room, very useful!
Northernlion, I think that when you destroy a ship, it simulates you picking apart the destroyed ship by giving you more scrap.
Nice run Ryan,
Some suggestions that I hope will be helpful for future runs:
@27:19 lol I think that's a quest event that gives nice prize(s) if I recall. Poor defenseless Zoltan, I don't think I actually saw their little ship before because I never tried the "combat" option, that was pretty funny.
@59:00 Bombs are different from missiles, they "teleport" into the ship and then blow up, so you can't shoot those down with defense drones. One of the reasons I love bombs more than missile weapons - except Pegasus and charge missile, those are badass.
@1:19:00 Actually those front cannons are only disabled after taking 3 damage, so unless they go red they can keep attacking Ryan.
@1:26:00 Taking pilot away from helm is always a deadly mistake especially without autopilot, same exact thing happened last episode (dropping dodge to zero) with similar results, so I hope it's a good learning experience by now.
Was fun, excited to see the next run, and I hope you win this on camera.
NL, one thing that I've learned while playing FTL:AE is that it's worth upgrading Oxygen and Medbay by one stage. They don't cost that much scrap, and if they get hit by a missile or something, they don't go down as easily. In some scenarios, it's fine to just let Oxygen get hit and leave it because it still has power.
If your weapons bay takes damage, it powers down the right-most weapon first. Maybe consider putting your most powerful weapon far left, and fast, weaker weapons far-right.
I know this might never get to NL, but the lanius encounter @14:40 if you give them the 30 scrap you always get a random augment! I got pre igniter the first time I did the event.
You should try Clone Bay runs. Even helps with events that you might loose crew members.
Also you can hack the cloaking while is on. And is much more pleasant. =)
NL, just a couple tips, if you want to kill enemy crew on a ship, you just have to damage the room they're in, you don't have to target at them with your beams. Also, you can click and drag to select multiple crew to move them around.
I love when I hear nl in the distance when he's talking to the cats
I swear this whole Weapon Pre-Igniter thing is going to be the FTL version of Mom's Knife / Brimstone for NL.
"Agh if only I had a Weapon Pre-Igniter I could pull this run off"
Yeah NL, that's the only thing you need to win
NL I don't know if you know about this, but there is a mod available for FTL called Captain's Edition. It's an incredibly in depth mod that adds very balanced new content into the game such as a ton of new and interesting weapons, conversations with crewmembers, things to do on those beacons that have nothing in them, battles with space stations, the ability to accept a surrender bribe then turn around and destroy the ship. Just a metric tonload of new things, TotalBiscuit did a highlight video on it if you won't take it from me. I've started to find these videos a little bit dry since the content in FTL is so "same-y" but because of how much content there is in the Captain's Edition mod, your future FTL videos could be quite a treat to watch. I especially want to see how you react when you see an enemy ship packing a missile battery with 20+ tubes in it :P
Silly Ryan, you get more scrap when you destroy your enemy because to pick apart the remains of their ship, not because they where holding out on you.
I think that your kitty moments are adorable!
39:35 - 41:35 Is the finest example of slapstick comedy I've seen on UA-cam in a while.
Damn NL, when you were hovering over the door open button (during first Zoltan crew death) I was screaming "CLOSE THE OTHER DOORS FIRST"
HOLY MOLY. That was the most infuriating moment of my day! The whole situation, first not using his Mind Control and then that...
Great vid Northernlion :3 to answer your question. There's a drone called the anti personal drone that sits on your ship and kills all intruders ^_^ also, the boarding drone is amazing! Definitely worth the power. Shame you didn't take it :3 Keep the videos coming!!
Northernlion, NEVER take your pilot off. The reason why you got wrecked at the end was because you made your ship pilotless.
Atleast not without a lvl 2 auto pilot upgrade
Northernlion here's a nice tip. Killing the guy in the rocket room on the flag ship means after you kill him it can't get repaired and you can do the same for all the weapons. It only repairs after they jump away. ( I also found a mission today that lets you fight a downgraded version if the flagship)
So many NL moments, it was great!
Also I just failed on normal with zoltan B. The 3rd phase of the flagship had only 2 HP left.
Wow, you lost to him just like me. Sad, right? I was using the Zoltan B, I didn`t know the flagship had 3 phases, but when I found out he destroyed me when that sucker had 3hp made me sad. And more importantly, pissed.
Daniel Ferreira steamcommunity.com/id/szoszivangeci/screenshots/ 4 hull.
Well I just beat the rebel flagship with the Mantis A, but because I didn't find a single damage dealing weapon I was stuck with the Basic Laser you start of with.
Which does just enough damage to be able to do 1 hull damage every 2nd time the super shield recharges in stage 3.
I boarded them and blew their systems up with bombs but then just waited with the laser on autofire while I did other stuff.
After 1 hour 10 minutes it finally blew up. -_-

This game is made for us to be storytellers. Everyone has their moment of grief and joy in FTL.
oberlerchner123 wow. well done sir
I think I know the cause of your problems with kitty discipline: You think there's such a thing as kitty discipline.
NL, if you upgrade your pilot thingy to level two or more, the "explore the asteroid belt" event will have a blue option allowing you to harvest some scrap and such.
Oxygen levels in rooms raise faster when doors to adjacent rooms are open. Press Z once to open all doors (aside from airlock). Having other doors open before pressing Z will not open airlock doors. All other doors must be open before pressing Z if you want airlock doors to be opened as well.
If you are given the option to buy duplicate augmentations, then they do stack. FTL will prevent you from buying unique augments.
Ok NL,here is a little tutorial on hacking.
Hacking is a very flexible tool that helps your ship cover its weak points.Its not only for depleting and delaying system,it also has secondary effects depending on the room hacked:
Shields and weapons:Slowly depletes the charge bars.
Pilot and engines:Enemy evasion goes down to 0%
Hacking:Disables the enemy hack and has a chance to destroy it.
Mind control:Mind controlled unit return to normal and a random enemy crew gets mind controlled in its place.USE WHEN ENEMY ACTIVATE THE SYSTEM.
Cloaking:Take the enemy out of their cloaking.USE WHEN THE ENEMY ACTIVATE THE SYSTEM.
Teleport:Send all enemy boarders back to their ship.
Drones:disable enemy drones for the duration with a chance to destroy them.Oddly,I have seen enemy defense drones shoot even if they are disabled.
Medbay:damage the enemies inside,it also makes the room more inaccessible(like any other room hacked) which helps with boarding and bio beam strategies.
Clone bay:disables the system.Pretty boring,but like with the medbay it helps with crew killing strategies.
Doors:Turns enemy doors into friendly blast doors.Few practical uses.
O2:Depletes O2 from the enemy ship.Not too useful.
I doubt you will read this,but maybe you will.So greetings.Keep the good job.
"The Pike Beam. It does everything the body needs."
Thanks for that, NL.
Don't beat it off cam man! We want to see your good runs! Love the series, keep it up!
15:05 I'm so sad NL didn't take the time to read that part out, because I love the idea of a vid-screen booting on with Lanius holding up sticks with whatever white cloth they could find, waving them around and hoping they're not somehow offending you by doing this.
Very close, NL, very close.
Couple of thoughts on this one: Firstly, you should have purchased either the combat drone or fire drone from the final store at the end. It requires some extra micromanagement, but you can rapidly switch drones on and off in a fight. So, use the offensive drone to deal some extra damage to the flagship, then quickly turn it off and turn the defense drone on when missiles are coming in. It's extra work, yes, but you had a relatively low damage run, and that drone could really have helped.
Secondly: The final phase of the flagship was unfortunately very tricky here as you hadn't killed many of their crew. You'd have been better off hacking their mind control system than the missile launcher. When you hack the mind control, it reverses it so one of their crew gets mind controlled. That plus your own mind control unit could really have helped tip the odds in your favour when you were boarded.
During early to mid game you can always get more scrap but you can't always get more stores. The benefits of nebulas are greater than the risks involved. Having a minimum of six crew should be a priority for most ships.
In normal sectors you can use nebulas to delay the rebel fleet. You know, the one that's preventing you from going to as many jump beacons as you want to. If you're scared of nebulas, get a long range scanner to avoid Ion Storms (and suns, and asteroid fields)
Regarding the story partway through - I fall into the same camp as that other guy, I would rather inconvenience myself greatly to avoid being ripped off. The taxi man wants to charge 2 dollars more? I'll miss all the movies I have to to not have to give that guy monies.
I found that a setup to very, *_very_* effectively defeat the flagship surprisingly doesn't have to be anything toooo fancy.
Went in with the Federation ship (the one with the super beam thing) and then just packed the ship full of laser weapons, three shield layers and level three cloaking; didn't even have any drones, hacking or mind control.
And the flagship was... actually pretty easy to beat with that setup. It didn't even get my hull into the yellow, despite me always chasing after it without any repair stops in between.
That was a fun run. I wouldn't have thought that combo of weapons would be that powerful.
Northernlion is bad at oxygen.
New co-op with Total Biscuit.
Your just realizing this now?
Alex Johnson No, clearly I noticed it in April 2014.
Jesseon I hadn't realized the date of the comment until after I replied. I was half expecting your UA-cam account to be abandoned, because most people just make a new one after a year or so.
Nah, it's cool. I don't really have a reason to create a new account anyway. I just thought it was funny you replied to that.
41:50 OMG. Just fucking,..OMG. Were you watching Tomo play with a ball of yarn or something? All of the exterior doors were open, you were bleeding out oxygen and at the same time you opened all the interior doors and did not even power up the oxygen system. I mean...just...OMFG. Its like if Kirk had a fucking stroke in the middle of a fight with the Klingons.
He prob was busy watching Tomo playing lol
"Its like if Kirk had a fucking stroke in the middle of a fight with the Klingons."
I just about fucking died, my sides.
Trent8086 I laugh the shit out of this comment this just made my day because. I was screaming at the screen hoping that he would use mind control on the intruders
Agora2021 l dieing m8
When you have crew repairing a deoxygenated room like the Oxygen room in this episode, for example. You can open the all internal doors to spread the O2 around and provide just enough to get the repairs finished normally.
Hey Northernlion, you might just want to save your scrap not until the end of a sector, but until you find and check out a shop, and if the shop ends up not having anything that interests you, then you can spend your scrap to upgrade your ship: I noticed that on this run you upgraded the doors system on the first sector and then you had to skip two shops on the next sector because you didn't have any scrap left! Exept that, you're getting pretty good at this game-- I hope you'll read this (;
Just a quick heads up- the reason you see enemy drones blow up when you're hacking drone control is because, when it runs out, there's a chance of completely destroying a drone.
A little question, but will you try to do the Mod for FTL too ? and a little tip, dont be so fast on the triggerfinger (read the events) because you did destroy the Zoltan quest that could fetch you some sweet stuff (for example a Zoltan crew member with max stats in everything)
This ep was worth it just for the story, so funny dude.
I really do enjoy when he says "floor" instead of "sector"
All his cat chatting cracks me up. Keep it up NL.
"I think we're gonna live, tell my wife I love her!"
I think you mixed up your phrases there.
I wonder if the alien races' different abilities were built around the game mechanics, or if its the other way around, beacuase the Zoltan ship/crew effects work really well with the game...what I mean is, they designed the aliens not initially for the lore, but I'm thinking they based the back-story and abilities of each alien race on how the game itself could be diversified or played in many ways.
It's possible to get a Zoltan shield on a different ship if you do the quest you did to unlock the Zoltan ship again, the one with the unarmed Zoltan Transport. Not sure if it happens everytime, but the second time I completed it, the Zoltan captain gave me the super shields augmentation on my Engi ship. I used a shield generator drone with it, nothing could ever touch me
It's funny, I burnt out on FTL a long time ago but yet this is still among my favourite of Ryan's series
you should play it again, advanced edition is good.
Did that the day of the update but, sadly, no dice
The Zoltan Shields can be acquired on a non-Zoltan ship. I'm not sure if you can buy them, but I know the quest that's supposed to give you the Zoltan ship also has a chance of giving you the shields. I got them on my Stealth B run, and it was incredibly awesome. Nothing touched me from then on.
So lucky, B is so hard at start.
I also scored two Burst Laser II's on that run, which was great. No Weapon Pre-Igniter though, made me kinda sad.
Joshua Rutterbush Damn, you're lucky.
weapon pre igniter is not good in every situation, and is even terrible in case of charge weapon. Also only hacking the shields are good why don't you do it more often?
I don't see why it would ever bee bad. it has more benefit in some situations, but I would never think it could be negative
Pre igniter works regardless, allows you to shoot before even you oponent has a chance to power up his weapons, CH weapons don't do too well.
Shields take too long to depower, instead hack the pilot and fire your volleys, high levels shields require high level hack, but a level 1 hack at the helm allows ALL your shot to hit for 4 seconds
It cost 120 scrap. If it has so little benefits then you just threw 120 scraps out of the window, that's how it's negative. Hzcking the shield is better since he had a beam weapon that cannot miss at all and he could still attack the helm to hit with 4 charged laser.
The pilot is a good solution but with beams it's absolutely no benefits.
GDKsan I agree, pre-igniter is awesome but not for this build, that could've been money spent on more padding or more crew etc.
I think Ryan could've won this one, just the last 2 minutes decided the outcome unfortunately. FTL's brutal like that, one slip up and things escalate quickly. sure was a great build, almost had it.
But he's getting the hang of it, exciting stuff, it's great watching his skills improve so quickly.
allamomar
on his twitter he revealed he unlocked the stealth (pretty hilarious moments to come) and the lanius (obviouly since stealth is his 4th unlocked ship) and is working towards making things work on normal. The next videos are gonna be good (especially the stealth runs to come those will be hilarious).
For info: You should wait for them to cloak before hacking them. it triggers their cooldown because they used it and it automatically reveals them when you hack cloaking while they're cloaked.
29:41 - Could have opened the doors before sending in the repair crew, equalizing the oxygen across the ship. The way you did it, you basically locked them into an O2-less room and told them "repair in time or die!".
You can stack automated reloaders. They just add up the boost, so having three gives you 30% faster weapon charging. That is really funny to combine with the vulcan :)
Try federation cruiser layout C.
Its a really fun mess-around kinda ship, clone bay and teleporter at the start.
40:13 and that's why I like getting at least the second level of oxygen, even if I'm never going to use the second level.
Intruders/projectiles need to destroy twice as much for the oxygen to turn off.
Is it not better to mind control the pilot JUST before you fire at them so that as you do their evasion goes to 0% (unless they have an autopilot system)?
NL... Upgrade your piloting because it seems like a lot of runs end up screwing you over because you have to use the pilot or evacuate because of a fire and then your evade goes to 0...plus you have nothing to lose from upgrading piloting and everything to gain
Especially when he is just floating extra scrap at the end.
What if in the last phase you hack their shields and cause a fire with your weapons? Nice video, feel sorry about the aftermath. Congratulatons for the 300,000 subscribers
when the ship blows up it can be torn apart and "scrapped" therefore granting more "scrap" metal than what they have on them this is why you get a large amount more if you manage to kill the crew, none of the scrap in the cargo hold is destroyed, and you can systematically shut down the ship and scrap it
NL, consider this:
2nd phase of the flagship fight.
They have an oxygen room with a man in there.
Mind control him AND hack oxygen.
Not only will their own person damage it and probably die in the process, but you can hack the oxygen and deprive them ALL of oxygen. EASY battle.
If you kill off the crew it goes into AI mode. So the battle would continue with the ship slowly repairing all damaged systems simultaneously. I think that is just a little too much for NL to handle right now.
Good to know. thats absolutely horrifying xD
I love hearing about all the cats' silly antics, still waiting for that cat cam :p
Northernlion, why did you attack the Zoltan Peace ship in the Zoltan Homeworlds? You only get good rewards for listening to them.
Make sure that you're rearranging your weapons in order of priority. Your unpowered weapons should always be in the 4th weapon slot so that they are first to be taken out if your weapons system gets hit.
I love your cats dude :'D they make for nice entertainment :) Love your FTL series so far Mr Lion!
lesson learned, don't let the fire destroy your door system! especially when all you have to do is open one door
I bought the game a few days ago and already beat the game with the kestrel cruiser to the zoltan cruiser and doing the mantis cruiser right now.
I love watching this high
Flack II is ridiculous against the flagship. You should have picked it up in the shop. You could have toggled between that and the halberd, using the flack to just break down the shields, the charge laser to spread around some damage, and then when the shields started staying down you flip on the halberd and start melting them.
But yeah, Flack II = 7 shots for 3 power every 21s. Think about how scared you get whenever they have a normal flack cannon that fires 3 shots, even when you have 3/4 shields.
ah man that ending seeing all the systems dying blast at a time.
remember, fires doesn't work in a automatic ship with no air, nor does it work in a lanius ship seeing as they have no oxygen either :)
The cat bits are the best parts, what the hell is wrong with people?
Also this is NL, a consummate professional of the UA-cams
New catchphrase for this series: "Real sorry about this one." Take a shot when you hear it
Regarding what NL says at 15:15. You blow them up and grab their ship parts thats why you get more scrab ( i think?).
I'd never seen the event at 24:30 before, seems like a nice reference to 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Ya, I thought that one was cool too. Too bad his crew didn't come back later with god-like powers.
Or get a new system which starts off amazing, but once damaged it kills the whole squad one by one.
NL why did you attack the zoltan ship for the homeworld specific quest :(
hey NL have you thought about playing the commander mod? and get the better backgrounds mod too for good measure ;)
Just food for thought, but I'd imagine the ships that offer surrenders don't give the amount of scrap/resources you want because if they did they would be as good as dead since they'd have to scrap parts of their ships. So really they often couldn't make a better surrender without dying :D
