    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!

    Advanced Zoltan tech is having shields unpowered until they get through your green shield, since they don't do anything until then anyway. You can then have loads of power in engines so that the shield lasts as long as possible.

    • @KCzz15
      @KCzz15 Před 3 lety +5

      Disagree, because once you power the shields they actually have to charge up each bar individually, which can go very wrong.
      *EDIT*
      Since people seem to me misunderstanding what I'm saying here, I'll spell it out better:
      1. If you have bought the 4th bar of shields as anything but one of your very last possible purchases, you've fucked up.
      2. If you don't have enough reactor power for 8 engine bars and 3 shields, you're either in an Ion Storm or you've fucked up.
      3. Yes, dodge is always better than shields, but if you fully deactivate your shields to power up your engines and rely on your Zoltan shield to save you, then you can take a lot of hull damage in your scramble to reactive the shields once your Zoltan shield fails as it takes several seconds for each shield bar to regenerate and you can take a lot of damage during this period if you screw up the timing. You don't want to be like NL was in that asteroid field, do you?
      Get a backup battery, or temporarily depower something unimportant like the oxygen before you depower shields, it can be done but it's very very risky and I wouldn't recommend it to most.

    7:55 So something that confuses me that NL does, he always opens both doors to space when trying to clear oxygen. Does opening both doors actually make it clear faster? I always just open one door.

    59:57 the gigachad NL brutally destroys a rebel ship and just as all hope is lost he takes their mediocre surrender loot, leaving them with nothing and no hope of survival

      NL, the game tells you if any of your equipment helps. The Zoltan shield would be too strong sadly if it protected you from every damage event
