FTL: Advanced Edition

Broken

Nothing GoG did, simply put, FTL is inherently broken due to the fact that its random number generator is not scaled correctly and is slightly off. Most games have a difficulty curve that progresses harder as you move threw the game, FTL ignores this idea and can go from simple to crazy difficult in the blink of an eye. Also during combat enemies who use the exact same weapons as you will consistently do more damage than you using the exact same weapon, are more likely to get critical hits and gain more healing from items than you get. Also the final boss' special abilities make it difficult at best, cheap at worst. Even with a ship that has green shields, 4 really good weapons, a fully staffed and golden trained crew in what they do, and are racially good at what they do as well. All of this and I still got offed by the final boss in under a minute. While the premise is a good idea, this game needs some serious tweaking to be considered anywhere near a decent game.
