I loved the idea. I love that kind of games. But FTL itself it's too flat. And the game is too hard. Really, too hard! You simply don't play because your best weapons are your faith and your lucky. The combat system is quite OK but the fact that "you can switch between systems to survive" is not true at all. You have to mantain all of yours system to survive! No shields equals death. No oxygens means death. No weapons means death. One of your crew dead means... death! I lost a well-upgraded ship, on the last sector, due to a simply solar flare. That took me away three hours of gameplay.
