FTL: Faster Than Light

You captain a Federation ship carrying important information through a galaxy pursued by the Rebel fleet. Your goal is to reach Federation forces while keeping your ship and crew alive. Travel between locations on a changing star map, where you may face enemy ships, distress calls, or other encounters. In combat, manage weapons, shields, engines, oxygen, and other systems while directing crew and choosing targets; you can pause at any time to issue orders. Decide which routes and risks to take, and how to spend resources on repairs, supplies, crew, and ship upgrades. Encounters offer choices that can lead to different outcomes, while randomized maps and events make each run different. Ship and layout unlocks offer further ways to play, but a destroyed ship ends the run.

Command a Federation ship through a shifting galaxy, balancing crew, power and weapons in paused battles to deliver vital information.
