About FTL: Faster Than Light
FTL: Faster Than Light is about commanding a spaceship and its crew on a mission to save the galaxy. You travel through a randomly generated galaxy where each encounter presents a challenge with multiple possible solutions. A heavy missile barrage might force you to reroute power to your engines and escape, bring additional weapons online to destroy the enemy, or send a boarding party to fight them.
Command your ship
During combat, you give orders to your crew, distribute power among ship systems and choose weapon targets. You can pause at any time to assess the situation and issue orders. You upgrade your ship and unlock new ones with help from six diverse alien races and their technology.
Encounters and consequences
Hundreds of text-based encounters require you to make difficult decisions. Each run brings different enemies and events, and your decisions lead to different results. Permadeath means a run ends when you die, making each action carry the risk of defeat.
Advanced Edition
FTL: Advanced Edition adds a new alien race, events, weapons, playable ships and drones, as well as additional music by Ben Prunty and events by Tom Jubert and guest writer Chris Avellone.
