If I was a tablet gamer I'd be all over this.
Seems like a perfect fit.

 

[cackhyena]

Never got around to the PC version. Wondering if/how this is better than a mouse for controls.

 

[clockpunk]

Time to purchase again, for portable play - and that new race looks great!

 

[Kinan]

Damn, read the title and thought that its out already.

Cant wait!

 

[Nicktals]

When does Steam normally update? Is there a set time? Really looking forward to trying out the new Advanced Edition stuff on PC.

Would be the first game I'd buy if I had a tablet..The ability to save would make it so you could just do a jump or 2 and set it back down...awesome.

 

[rrc2soft]

Out on the Singaporean App Store :-D Instabought!

 

[KojiKnight]

Best Star Trek game ever made... even if it's not technically a star trek game. Seriously, why hasn't someone paid them to make a star trek game!?

No mention of price for the iPad version. How much is it?

- It is the full and complete PC game with no ads or In-App-Purchases and will be priced the same as the PC version at $10.

 

[AEREC]

If it runs smooth on the iPad 3 then I'll get it.

 

[No Love]

I'm pretty sure I read that the touch controls are iOS only for now.

As a Surface Pro owner, I really, really hope they bring the touch controls to the PC version though. I would play FTL everywhere.

Damn it... I want to play this on my laptop, especially cause it converts to a tablet so it's like a bigger better ipad :\

 

[Vhalyar]

I look forward to encountering an enemy ship full of mantises and a teleporter + clone bay.

 

[Mudcrab]

Can't wait to see my crew suffer and die from all the new and horrible things.

 

[Mr. Poolman]

I'm interested on the new music! I really like FTL's OST

 

[balladofwindfishes]

After owning an iPad for 2 years and spending no money at the app store, this might be the first purchase I make.

 

[KojiKnight]

Really looking forward to the new tactics... Once I found a strategy that worked (get as many multi shoot lasers as possible) I tended to go that way for most of my runs unless RNG didn't let me. Having more options will hopefully mean that strategy is less good/gives me a reason to mix it up.

 

[Castef]

Is the PC expansion already out?

 

[KillerDark]

Can't wait to play this game more! I really enjoyed what I've played so far and this will be a great reason to dive back in

 

[Instro]

I never did get the crystal race. Looking forward to this, I was hooked on the game for a good chunk of time at one point.

 

[graywolf323]

looks like the mac version isn't getting it right away so no Advanced Edition play for me at work today

 

[Orenhy]

PC version will be tomorrow 3/4, Only the ipad stuff is getting a-bit early depending on world location due to app store policies.

 

[Proven]

Watching the Polygon video, I'm not sure if I'll be able to resist picking this up on iPad instead of waiting for the PC update.

 

[inkls]

So excited for this update, had already unlocked all ship variants and beaten the game on easy (not suicidal enough to try normal yet).

And here's a few relevant comics too:

 

[Neol]

Hoping this comes to Android.

Regardless though, gonna be playing the shit out of this during the weekend.

 

[Harlock]

With FTL and Hearthstone the iPad will take more of my time than other systems.

 

[KojiKnight]

Would be amazing if the PC version went on discount again to celebrate this. Still have a few friends on PC who don't have it yet.

I was always partial to boarding strategies so the mantis ships ended up being favorites of mine. Beyond that i feel like the only commonly dropped weapon where i felt like i outright relied on them were the ion bombs. Hopefully with the new additions missiles dont come out as wholly outclassed in usefulness compared to bombs again.

well there will be the steam summer sale sooner or later.

fuuck yes.

 

[hockeypuck]

Need impressions on Mini Retina usability, statim.

Some icons are a little small on screen but i hardly noticed it after playing for a while. Works and looks great on my mini retina.

 

[BeEatNU]

I love that minutes of playing picture.
Describes the game so well lol.

Thank you. Buying.

 

[trifelife]

Well, going back in I guess.

 

[not psycho]

Awesome, good reason to go back to it.

I just hope the ships are unlocked from the start. Unlocking things is by far the worst part of the game.

If for some reason we don't like the additions in the Advanced Edition, is there an option to just play it in Classic Mode?

 

[chickdigger802]

yes sir. its a toggle when you start a new game

 

[Majukun]

There are akso new quests and random events right?

 

[Atilac]

Right now Lethalfrag is interviewing one of the creators and playing it, frag himself is one of the best FTL players in the world.

Was just about to post this. I think Frag might be sick, I came into the stream late but he doesn't seem like his normal self right now.

 

[Velcro Fly]

He was really sick on Sunday when he last broadcast so he's probably still sick now.

Still pretty cool to hear about all this little stuff though.

 

[Reloaded]

Haha, I'm terrible at this.

First 2 tries my ship was burnt to a crisp and the third time a crew some how got on board my ship and put a beating on my 2 crew members.

 

[chickdigger802]

played 1 life (stupid virus destroyed my ship, need to get my groove back!).

the ios port is extremely well done. holy shit. all the controls just work great and smart.

If you already have the pc version and have an ipad and wanna give them a few bucks, the ios version is well worth it.


gonna be some long toilet breaks at work...

Glad we have frag fans in here. I cannot believe he did "no pause runs" for all the ships, twice!!!

I really enjoy his stream. I couldn't do the TCG he played for a few days a little while ago but everything else I tend to watch a few hours each night. I'm excited to see him play through the PC version of Dark Souls 2.

 

[Ibuki]

sorry if this has been answered already, but what time does the expansion come out on pc?

 

[TheListener]

I love this game. I wish they'd patch in the touch capabilities to the Windows version so those of us with touch monitors can do what the ipad version can do.

 

[Mindlog]

Where did I download the DRM free version again? The Humble Store?

Will probably just end up buying it again just because :]
I would also appreciate touch support for windows.

 

[Atilac]

sorry if this has been answered already, but what time does the expansion come out on pc?

12 hours from now

 

[ChuckNyce]

Despite having both on PC, this and Hearthstone really make me want to buy an iPad ⊙﹏⊙

Do PC users have to unlock ships again for the Advanced Edition?

Do iOS users have to unlock ships?
