Do you guys want me to post s here?

[Ghoti]

arg you beat me to the crystal cruiser.

I've being trying to get the cruiser while getting the "United Federation" achievement.

[Rowanas]

I've finally perfected "the medbay gambit". It's my new foolproof method of taking control of ships.

1: Beam crew aboard
2: Wait for enemy crew to engage.
3: When enemy crew leave to heal at the medbay, let them go, even beam your own dudes back to rest at your medbay.
4: Fire at enemy medbay, bomb it, hull missile, whatever you have at hand, but assign all of your weapons to it.
5: Enemy crew pray to their impotent gods and die.
6: If enemy crew remain, they'll go and repair the medbay. Beam or move your boarding party to the medbay and finish them all off.

There it is. The medbay gambit. It works like a charm, although the boss requires too much focus elsewhere to be able to reliably bombard the medbay, so I just beam my crew into the weapons sections and blow those all up.

I may just have to try that, on a related note, i just realsised how awesomely op drones are in the mid-game

[theSONY]

just for the info: there is anti personnel weapon "bio laser" or something like that & its works like a charm ^^

I found the fire beam to  be even more efficient at killing crew, since they can't even heal if you set the medbay on fire. If you have that and a Stoneman boarding team it's just perfect.

[GUNINANRUNIN]

Just got the Engi Cruiser. Has anyone ever tried a multiple ion weapon build? Coupled with a veteran weapons crew and anti-ship drones its amazing. The Mk II's have a four second recharge time and smash anything that isn't a drone (three power requirement though. ouch).

[icepick37]

Yeah I actually beat the boss for the first time with a similar build on a vortex. It's crazy how fast they shoot with a two star weapons officer.  D:

Does filling the veterancy bar once (so its green) give you any bonuses at all, or does the bonus only take effect once its full yellow?

[icepick37]

There's a level of bonus at each level. So you get a small bonus even with no experience, a better one at green, and the highest at yellow.

You can mouseover the crew member to see what the current bonus is (while they are at that station)

EDIT: Ugh...   the forumites at ftl are insufferably stupid...   D:

It seems that is mostly due to the fact that they don't understand that this game isn't supposed to be winnable 100% of the time, and the game isn't supposed to just hand you everything. My personal favorite is the people that were asking for an easier easy mode.

[icepick37]

Mostly it's this one guy (who I have since ignored) who just drivels on and on like he is so much smarter than everyone. But all he says is stuff my spoiled two year old says all day.  :p

Also there's the same crap suggestions in every single thread on the forum. sigh...

Popularity is it's own curse it seems.  :/

I am being a whiner. Mostly to illustrate though, that the starfarer community is great and I love you all.    I hope we can keep sanity up to and through starfarer's release, haha.

Actually you guy's arn't THAT good. I mean, the suggestion board is full of some... uh... sketchy ideas. I mean, has anyone seen Achron? Achron and it's fan base, now those guys are something. You'd have to be if you're playing a strategy game based on time travel and paradox's.
Personally I give starfarer's community a 7 out of 10.
With Achron's community (at least when I was there) a 10/10,
and the blizzard support forums a 0/10.
Forged alliance forever gets a 4 out of 10. Mostly because they have a very authoritarian way of looking at issues. It's just freaky.

I still haven't managed to get the united federation achievement.

update: Got the red tail!

Tough little ship achievement. I had 2 health and a crippled enemy ship. I let the boarders blow up a system, then jumped back to a station for full repair. Har Har Har.

update2: IF I DON'T WIN I'M GOING TO BE SOOOOO FREAKING MAD.
