help FTL: Faster Than Light FAQ
What is the main objective in FTL: Faster Than Light?
You command a Federation ship carrying information about the Rebel fleet and try to reach the Federation base. Each run moves through eight procedurally generated sectors before the Rebel Flagship fight.
Why does FTL pause during combat?
FTL uses real-time combat with pause, so you can stop time to assign crew, target weapons, vent oxygen, or repair systems. That pause system is central because one missile hit can start fires, breach rooms, or knock out shields.
What did the Advanced Edition add to FTL?
FTL: Advanced Edition added new systems, weapons, drones, events, and the Lanius race. It was released as a free update for existing players and is included in the iPad version.
Is FTL more like a roguelike or a spaceship sim?
It is a roguelike strategy game with permadeath, random sectors, and run-based progression. The spaceship-management layer makes it feel different from games like The Binding of Isaac or Slay the Spire.
