it not luck it probabilty he grind the run until he had the 'luck'

@@JacoDeltaco yea he most likely played this game 1000 times to get to this

Golddmane don’t mess around😤💪

Thanks, haha. I swear I keep having weird coincidences like that too. Hopefully this motivates someone else to grind and we won't have to wait another 7 years.

@@golddmane All respect, it ain't gonna be me. I haven't the patience nor the skill haha. Good stuff. That flagship fight was TENSE.

you're damn right

You should definitely still try it out. You can use Zoltan A to reduce the need for good rng. The 4th fastest time uses that. and if you do end up speedrunning you should upload your runs to speedrun.com so that people know you're trying.

@golddmane That's where I saw your time posted! I have done Mario 64 ones so maybe I should give it a shot :)

@@golddmane is there a community hub or something of the like? I would like to know if certain things such as having hyperspace installed is okay and the like since a modded version of FTL is a bit finicky to return back to vanilla just for speedruns.

Lmao, i cant even win this game how the fuck u doing it that fast???

Yep, just makes hacking that much better. And if you browse some other quick speedruns you'll see people who are much more proficient at it than me. They can depower without pausing and still evade the drone. These little unintentional details are what makes FTL so great.

That was a new trick to me, with over 400 hours in the game. I'll definitely be keeping that in my playbook for the future! Kudos on a really impressive run.

does anyone know if this trick works in multiverse?

@@godlyvex5543 I was just thinking that. Gonna try it soon though.

​@godlyvex5543 It's been patched in Multiverse. Hacking drones will now self-destruct if depowered mid-flight. Luckily you can also just buy Defense Scrambler at any time now.

yeah i feel you. but without shields it takes a lot of luck. like if the flagship had hit weapons or hacking that probably wouldve been it.

thank you, yeah it definitely took a while

yeah fuck those guys

I though the same when i watched the video

After 1000 resets, I don't think calling it lucky is at all accurate. I imagine that's just one of the reset points.

@@arandomperson12345 True, but I've been on pace to beat the record before but made blunders and let boarders kill my weapons against the flagship, so I still consider it pretty lucky that I didn't waste this godly seed by getting weapons hit.

yeah definitely a crazy lucky seed whose time could have been even lower

yeah absolutely. the game should be way more popular than it is. if people knew about it and gave it a chance they wouldn't regret it

Appreciate it. But yeah, I messed up a few times during this run, it could've been a lot faster.

Beams damage zoltan shield twice regardless of how many rooms you would have hit

thanks man. i used to play when i was a lot younger too, but stopped for years. yeah stealth b is pretty annoying but its great for speedrunning bc of glaive beam. if you're still interested in ftl theres a crazy mod called multiverse that you can look up that adds so much to the game, you should check it out

it's objectively a pretty bad ship layout (not *nearly* the worst as people like saying, that goes to either Zoltan C or Engi B), but it's prime speedrunning material thanks to starting with such a god-tier weapon and cloaking (in speedruns, shields are actually a dump stat)

I didn't keep track but probably near 1000

the glaive beam does 3 damage per room hit, and beams have the innate ability to deal damage through shields, if at -1 damage per shield layer the stealth B is built around starting with this and to make it balanced make it have no shields to start with(which cost like 90 scrap to install... and also require a shop)

The Stealth Cruiser B is the "glass cannon" of the game. Starts with an absurdly powerful weapon that has a long cooldown, but very few means to actually keep you alive while it charges up. It might seem OP in this video, but it can be a nightmare to play with. You hit an asteroid field, you're screwed. You fight an enemy with drones, you're screwed. You fight someone else with beam weapons, you're screwed. Something hits your weapons ONCE, you're screwed. etc.

yeah easy AE. otherwise itd take probably thirty minutes minimum

you should try it a few times, i bet you'd do better than you think. there are just some strats you need to know that make everything possible

I don't think it's a bug. The devs specifically programmed a mechanism to determine when weapons, drones and asteroids collide and used that same mechanism to fire down the hacking drones. It's only natural that a hacking drone can dodge a defence drone by changing speed. It also explains why they designed anti-drone drones to fire faster than defence drones-- so that they are less likely to miss.

Я не говорю по-русски, поэтому не могу сказать, было ли то, что ты только что сказал, обидным. Но я думаю, оно того стоило, потому что это было весело.

Я сказал, что ты долго ловил случайность такой попытки @@golddmane

To win faster, than everyone,to be literaly faster than light, lol

I agree hard mode would be more impressive, however you will NEVER get the lowest possible time on hard mode. So if the goal is beat the game as fast as possible it has to be on easy. Beating the game as fast as possible ON HARD MODE should be its own category with its own records. But you'll see a huge difference in time. Maybe double at least. You'll need twice as many jumps to earn enough scrap to beat the game on hard. Or just absolutely insane RNG where you're getting tons of free weapons and double rewards.

Even the best ftl players can't beat hard mode every game. So that would definitely be interesting. And by interesting I do mean torture lol.

@@Dukerdjerrbs holoshideim has the current record for streaks. Something like 124. that's on hard mode with no pause too ..and he was speed running the streak. Got through all 28 ships in like 20 hours or some nonsense
