- FTL on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/21...
This came from my stream on June 18th, 2021. Catch me live every weekday from 11AM-4PM here: / northernlion
I watched Dan react to IGN's list of the ten best roguelites and just seeing a little FTL footage got me feeling the itch to dive back in to one of the genre's all-time classics. Check it out! - Hry
Chat: "You have no sensors so you can't even use mind control"
NL: "............................................."
That fucking killed me.
Then the madman brought it back and found the slug
What slug? There's two engis
Worse would be if he had found sensors only to be stuck in the nebula for 10 jumps where they don't work.
Dropping daily FTL vids the length of The Fellowship of the Ring is giving me life
++
in 2021 no less.
I don't see the vids being 3 and half hour long :(
Yeah I'm sure I will get 🙂 on that but I'll be in in few hours for the rest 😴 😴and
the ftl renaissance has been great, i even got inspired and played a few runs myself
It’s so pogged dude
I had never seen the game before and seeing enelle play it got me to buy it. A pogged game for sure.
@@milesheffernan1644 FTL was one of the indie games that caused the indie boom. The indie game market was extremely small before a few great indie games gained traction on the internet and showed how even small studios could make incredible games.
I bought it after watching these recent episodes, and I’m having so much fun
@@Zebo12345678 True
"I think their mantis went back to their ship" Said NL, while his only crew member fights the Mantis in the pilot room.
That's why I love watching him!
Next fight he leaves without healing his only crew :(
Trade offer:
I receive a new NL FTL Video.
You receive gourds that have been pogged.
I accept your offer and substitute my own.
@@ThePassiveCurse you susy baka
One two-hour FTL run: i sleep
Repeated two--hour FTL runs: real shit
Ngl i thought you were gonna say you slept even more because man these are good for sleep aid.
Give an engi some space, he jumps for a day. Teach an engi to space, he gets to sector 7 for life
Was gonna say this is a golden era for NL, but I realized that I, along with many people, have been saying that for years now.
My man ends one pogged up series and just replaces it with more amazing content? How does he do it? How does he keep getting away with it???
He can't keep getting away with it
Cereal
We occasionally have to pay a tax like the recent "Nothing but Isaac" spree
@@nosir5596 Isaac is entertaining doe
@@nosir5596 sorry to hear that mane, but repentance content is poggie
@@DemPop I just hate the art direction of that game so much I can't stand to watch it lol.
35:15 - that extended silence after being told he just wasted all his money on useless mind control is maybe the most broken the man has ever been.
Only himself to blame
Yes. That was priceless :D I felt his pain and at the same time was crying of laughter because of the hilarious situation :D Engi the slug carried this run
@@lexchxn bro that's so good lmao
@@lexchxn
Tried looking for it, couldn't find the moment you mentioned. Wanna link the full video link?
@@lexchxn when he dies to the winged boss? It's hardly his funniest moment. But maybe I got the wrong one -- the timestamp doesn't jive. However, the only other episode 135 of Repentance I can find is more recent than your post and without facecam.
Long time fan here! It was hilariously great how MALF had you run debatably the worst ship while you're still refamiliarizing yourself. There are other fussy or bad ships but Engi B stacks so much against you while also playing so *slowly*. TBH, you did pretty well all told. This is one of my all-time favorite games and I'm so hyped to see you play it again.
Trade offer: You receive a well-meant FTL effortpost, I receive pog. (I'm not sure if this will be seen, but hopefully, I only make this post because you seemed receptive to chat help anyway.) I am far from even an expert player, but I've got a small handful of Hard victories, including several more near-victories including Engi B.
Here are some general tips worth keeping mind:
By Sector 2/3, Shields at L2 and Engines at 2-3 is a fair play, if you're getting into Sec. 3 and don't yet have L2 Shields you're likely get blitzed. Sec. 4/5, L3 Shields can save you a lot of heartache, and L4/5 Engines around Sec. 4-5+ is good. Better Engines makes for a faster escape, means w/ other systems like Cloaking you can potentially explore a lot, run against the Rebel Fleet, Cloak through the ASB and (hopefully) come out minimally scathed.
L4 Shields is not a trap. Also, L5 Engines is a sweet spot. Quick math: L5 Engines is 25% Evade, if Pilot & Engines are manned that's 35%, if both are masters that's 25+10+10 instead of +5+5. L6 with two masters/gold takes it up to 48%, or a near-coin-flip for every single projectile. L4 Shields, if only two of the 3 1 damage Ions hit, takes you L3. If one of the Boss Lasers hits, you have 2 Shield with L3 recharging; you take zero hull damage from the 2 damage Boss Beam. This applies to a lot of others from Sec. 6/7 on, as well.
The above Shields/Engine talk gets fuzzier when Cloaking is involved, as it allows you to 'pre-charge' weapons for 5/10/15 seconds, or avoid obnoxious Missiles, OR allow you to let someone fire their weapons so that they become mistimed and subsequently you get a soft guarantee of no damage. Example: Rebel with Basic I (10s charge and 1 hit)/Burst Laser 1 (11s and 2 hits). L1-2 Shields take 2s to recharge at base, so if timed correctly you will get hit by the Basic or Burst I, then make it so that you get by the former, pause, hit by the latter. The same logic can be applied to Beam + Laser loadouts later on. This also happened when you hit the Weapons as you did during the Rebel Fighter battle at 10:28 and would have sealed it, if you hadn't invested in Shields prior.
For Engi B, Slug crewmates make Sensors irrelevant, which is scrap saved. Slugs also make for the best Pilot/Enginelords, since they can't be Mind Controlled. They allow you to micro much less.
When more or better weapons aren't in sight, upgrading Engines, especially for Engi B because it sucks, is really helpful. An early, energized, L2/3 or even 4 Engines (depending), can go a long way in stalling out victories on slower ships.
Scrap allowing (not forgoing a 'key' or timely upgrade) Engi are some of the best crew you can buy or otherwise come across (slavers, Engi Sectors, unspecified Peaceful Sectors). They have the widest amount of blue options, which can minimize/control RNG for better run tailoring. They also make great Door/Sensorlords since you don't want them ready to fight.
Scrap allowing, the Long-Ranged Scanners are a phenomenally economic purchase. Responsive and pre-emptive fight avoidance (e.g. ignoring hazards), safer navigation, allows you to avoid dead nodes and fight more ships, only 30 scrap.
There's more but I'm watching your video a second time for (some) crucial moments because you're fun anyway.
6:20 - L2 Shields was a smart play, especially since you're restricted to that one MALF, all while dealing with slower-charging Weapons (one reason I personally dislike Engi B).
20:01-20:54 - You really just got the near-exact worst possible start there, I feel like if Weapons had been attacked there would have been more chances for you to be whittled down if not lose outright due to your MALF not being healed up.
47:13-47:52, 52:36-53:42 - Your logic was sound but misapplied, as for extra assurance double Flak I and Heavy I would have brought you so much more safety. They fire dramatically faster, they're *lined up* (8s and 10s), and output a total of 7 shots allowing you to quickly overwhelm the enemy, all at 5 Weapon power. With other factors in play, that can be handily game-winning.
1:04:22 - Burst Laser 2 is one of the best items in the entire game. Fast, three shots, reasonable 2 power. Not that you could have reasonably worked it in but worth emphasizing.
1:37:33-1:37:59 - It's worth noting that even if you're at like 5 Fuel going into Sec. 8, that's still a non-issue considering you get: 10 fuel upon entrance, which alone can take you far enough; you can potentially buy fuel at Stores, and you really only need (from my memory) 5~8 on Sec. 8; you can get poggy gains from the repair nodes.
Also, if I may make ship suggestions: I feel like Kestrel C would be a good way of refamiliarizing with FTL, because it is strong and not very micro (but can be for strats). If/When (or if you already have?) you unlock Federation C, I feel like you would actually like its reckless playstyle a lot. It's pretty inherently zany. Federation A is also really flexible and good for getting used to things as long as you get another weapon early on. I gotta recommend Kestrel C the most though.
Again, if you somehow actually did read this silly long response: This is only because you seemed so actually fine with FTL tips from the VODs, and I know from having watched you for a decade that that's not always the case. So I hope this is both informative and not pressing any buttons, honest. :)
Edit: Embarrassing typo.
We have encyclopedia brown over here wow
@@lexchxn Haha, yeah... really though, it's all about offering tips that can further enable banter mode and minimize banter-interfering micro. 😅I have fun either way.
I think the slug B is way worse than engi B.
@@john_titor1 I definitely get that, pretty sad when one of the most effective ways of winning with it is sidestepping its conceit in the early-game. So many missed Healing Bursts, drives me mad. Or being beaten at the boarding game.
You just made me buy this game. Sounds amazing just on your great info
"Why would we activate our system repair drone" says man with 4 systems down at once that could've been being fixed during the fight
And then ignored chat when they explained that the repair drone will stay on like the anti personal drone while complaining that they don't explain their advice
FTL is always appreciated :) brings back the good old days. Maybe this like taste of strategy could wet the palate for xcom on the horizon? Although might not fit into the current variety meta.
Omg you made me realize how much I loved his xcom series!!! Would love a reboot
Yeah, as soon as he started ftl, ive been playing that and watching his old xcom vids. Now i want more!
When he realized he couldn’t use mind control I thought we would get joker laugh for sure
The FTL content is making me SO POGGED, need a cold shower after this bad boy
22:14 is one of the funniest quotes I’ve ever heard the egg say
Dang it NL, you got me playing FTL again.
This is one of the hardest ships in the game. Well done
Loving these FTL videos, really makes me wanna return to this game again!
I bought the game because of your videos long ago. Recently started playing again because of your videos! I had a great drone run last night that was a lot of fun.
@@PodreyJenkin138 That is an excellent idea, thank you!
I don't know how much more FTL we're getting, but it has been some of the most enjoyable content I've watched on youtube in years. Thanks eggman
You can tell NL is genuinely frustrated when he stops censoring himself
Hearing uncensored NL in the modern era is beyond funny
NL jumping past the Rebel Flagship like two sailors drifting past eachother in the dark of night.
He somehow salvaged this run and reached the final sector.. the poggiest timeline
MALF really likes getting NL to do impossible things.
We will remember Slugworth and Malf. They will not have died in vain...
We are all Engi on this blessed day.
Actually his name was Engiworth.
The defensive mind control buy without sensors was actually run saving throughout but especially at 50:10 when he had 4 intruders, broken doors, broken O2, and just an engi and anti-personelle drone
"We can sneak through" Proceeds to get shredded by literally everything
Never gets old watching him mock the asphyxiating
the death of the mantis made me cry. Rest in Peace Adnan you deserved better
"Never forget that, if I remember correctly (and I don't think I do), you attacked first"
What a sentence.
Just wanna say thanks for the FTL vids, I played like 40 hours of this before the enhanced/advanced (can't remember the exact name) update and didn't play after the update and this series got me back into it and I'm having so much fun.
even in his own run, malf just can't seem to stay alive
I died when he bought mind control
FTL Pot Play?
I died two minutes later when he blew up the crewmember he was offered. For. No. Good. Reason.
@@TheAgamemnon911 Well part of the challenge was Engi only.
I can't believe MALF did NL this dirty
i've actually picked this game up again myself recently and i'm so glad someone is making content on it again, and even you of all people. LOVE IT!!
"Never forget that if I remember correctly, and I don't think I do, you attacked first."
If you cant get hurt, laser the shield and then keep ioning the o2 to become a real space war criminal
Trade offer:
You: drop a fry
I: substitute my own
Some of the most entertaining stuff I've watched in a long time, thanks for the great content!
I am so glad he returned to this masterpiece, no matter how limited its run...
I cant believe how much FTL strats i learned from these vids, thanks for the comeback NL, we love to see it!
Does anyone else love the fact that engi probably mind controlled malf into thinking he was an engineer and therefore was allowed to take control of his ship and malf now works for engi?
Watching in 2023, can’t believe how much NL’s appearance has changed. You go pelaton king
The music POGS.
Honestly loving the FTL throwbacks keep up the good work man!
Damn I love watching you play this game (again). Solid run my man! Can't believe you made that engy ship work so well!
NL Tip: If you have to move off piloting, always move to weapons or shields, its a small boost to recharge time and worth it over time. I also leave the rooms that open to space always open to vacuum. Makes it faster to repel intruders. Keep it up, your runs are legendary.
Not to take anything away from NL but man those were some good rolls on fight rewards. He got an amazing amount of weapons, drones and subsystems to sell.
This game may be old but. NL playing it, is not. Thanks NL I have so much love for this game and your content.
NL rain a series on FTL years ago, him playing it is also old haha. Still fun to watch though!
With this ship, I like venting all the oxygen out of every room except healing, pilot and the one in-between as well as maybe a bait system. 1 door upgrade and boarding crews are screwed with that anti-personell drone and no air.
So pog, this is getting me through the 4 weeks away from my family on a work trip! This brings me back to college days! Cheers egg
Egg be throwing FTL back into the collective brainspace of gamers, and now I once again want this game ported to consoles so I can play whilst I poop.
I am absolutely enjoying this new FTL content. I cant wait to catch a stream live. Haha!
So long "the pot play" bring in the "Mind control play" ahaha. God that was hilarious, as soon as he said he needed mind control i was thinking "oh god i hope he remembers he can't see into the enemies ship let alone his own"... Chat reminded him a little too late sadly
Please continue this series for the next 30-35 years. Thanks :)
I hope you drop another couple videos on this. But also, play what you want to play! Good job as always!
love the FTL content and glad you've kind of embraced some of the backseat from chat
edit: the way he was talking in the store makes me think somebody in chat signed off on mind-control, so i changed my mind: frick the backseat
editedit: slug play huge pog
In the head cannon of this run I like to think that Malf turned the slug into an Engi a la the borg.
Man I love watching you play this!
I love ftl, you're doing pretty good. Here's a tip though. If you're gonna play two defence drones (which I wouldn't recommend in the first place) you should stager powering them on so that they circle the ship at different parts. There's a better chance to deflect more rockets
FTL really is up there with the all time greats, no doubt! Good run, almost had the dub!
NL has been real quiet since he ran to the bathroom
If you keep uploading these 2 hour pog runs of FTL I’ll run out of time to work!
Enjoying this return to FTL so much
Backsit in FTL: you are the center of a protractor
You know, you can dismiss crewmembers you don't want.
You don't have to suffocate them.
R.I.P. Adnan
Wow it is incredible how far this ship actually got. Good on that engi and also "Engi."
Who the heck in chat was saying 4th level shields are a trap?? I've been pretty deep into the FTL meta and I've never heard anyone try and make that claim before
There are a lot of (dumb) people who swear by all engines instead of 4th shield. I mean, yes, economically, it's better to have some kind of balance, but 4th shield always shields. I've gotten hit with 95% dodge chance way too many times, so ~50 just isn't worth forgoing 4th shield.
I'm loving these FTL vids!!!
Around 32:00 I thought i was having a stroke from being caught in this timeloop cause shit starting moving in real life.
It was an earthquake.
When he ignored the scrap recovery arm i screamed in real life..... why egg
Was too late in the run to be worthwhile.
Cant wait when he starts installing mods and playing Captain's Edition, love this mod btw
I have been laughing non-stop at your FTL videos. Praise The Egg!
I have to say NL I don’t ever comment but FTL is probably the funnest stuff to watch thanks for the entertainment
Extreme pog. Baby noises. Great thumbnail. This video has it all.
This man is averse to using the system repair drone
nothing personnel, drone
This run on stream was so highly pogged, considering where it went after starting off as badly as it did because this ship's a hot mess
That look right at the end.
“They got us.”
Great run NL, sorry about your luck
nothing but pog content lately
loving the ftl content
This man doing challenge runs on the hardest ship after not even winning a regular run
"You can also turn it on if Malf gets lonely." Little brother spam in chat, please.
Was catching up on Isaac just now, learned my attention was needed here instead
God these FTEgg vids are making me act up
Gotta love me some FTL. Keep them coming, Egg.
Genuine question, NL: did you expect the FTL resurgence arc to get this much attention? Pretty much your entire fan base is loving this. Big brain.
"Begging for the location of air via text."
Never change NL
With NL praising FTL so much, I'm surprised he's never played Convoy (to my knowledge.) There's quite a few similarities, but the combats tend to be more dynamic as you control multiple units and fight multiple units.
NL, if you're reading this, I highly recommend you try it out! It's a roguelike I bounce back to every now and again and _really_ enjoy.
I felt like it was me in NL shoes with the misunderstanding part, I so understand you, NL
That's a really good run. I'm pretty sure that's the hardest ship in the game.
Stealth type C would like to have a word with you.
@@ellpoyohlokoh Fair point. Either way, the engi may be good at fixing things, but are terrible shipbuilders.
C? Try B. One drone enemy in your first sector then kiss your run goodbye.
@@mrkillerful1 I've beaten it with B, I haven't had a good C run yet. I'm also missing a win with Lanius B, but that's not really due to difficulty as much as I don't ever play it. Type A is so fun with Lanius that it makes B hard to choose.
@@ellpoyohlokoh I quite like Lanius B, it's great for the boarding strategy (teleporter+clone bay+mind control+Lanius remove air). It also has a pretty good gun.
I just played the Engi ship A last night, super OP, got lucky with a hull repair drone, and an extra chain Ion weapon, just went around suppressing shields and oxygen on every ship, suffocated crews everywhere and had so much scrap that I upgraded literally everything before the final boss fight.
In fairness I was playing on Easy because I was just trying to unlock other ships that the game has just decided I never unlocked so RIP me I guess
Great run and good decision making imo, good attempt
I love the challenge runs idea!
happy to learn that FTL is on the docket!
Big fan of the long FTL vids NL.
he got us in the first half not gonna lie
Hi NL I mean this as a threat. If there isn't another FTL 2 hour long video uploaded within the next couple of days you will hear from my lawyers. Thank you
ftl pog nl pog god this channel is never bad
The baby arc is actually the greatest
The baby cameo gave so much more pog to this run somehow. I thought we had reached the maximum
