how do you explain my normalcore streak then? how do you explain peoples' hardcore streaks, huh?????
Except those few monks who learned how to karate and wish to join your crusade, their entire race is a literal switzerland with trigger happy police patrols.
The quest for their ship literally has you resolve a conflict without fighting to complete it.
In most of the fights in their sectors they mistake you for a pirate or whatever and start shooting without talking.
I like FTL but their writing is really inconsistent, like the zoltans are some super advanced race that prefer non-violent solutions but then they act trigger happy in the majority of their events. "Peace through power" I guess, maybe Kane was a Zoltan.
The reason humans are the best is that they are fine in any scenario. >Trouble on the other side of the ship? Rockman too slow but humans are not. >Fight on the ship

No debuff like mantis
People usually are annoyed by humans constantly being the jack of all trades but I think it's cool and fits me personally because I'm bad at everything alike.
I think people only dislike it since it's super common to be like that. Its a good way to make the other races seem interesting though, otherwise there is nothing to base them against.
for me it's rock >doesn't care about fires >can survive a missile hit, shake off stun, repair hull breach and not soffocate, all without going to medical. >doesn't need to go to medical >doesn't need to go anywhere
the problem is that piloting is usually a long way away from medical, so if you need to go to medical you're fricked
i usually stick my rockmen on guns because that tends to be way closer to medbays and is equally as important to be manned and repaired
conversely it's mantis on shields because who gives a frick about manning shields?
>who gives a frick about manning shields?
me, because manning shields makes it recharge faster
optimal crew placement:
pilot: slug (immunity to mind control)
engine: rockman (won't need to move all game)
shield/weapons: engi (critical systems that need repairs quickly, also usually near engines)
Mantis stay on non-essential systems and will take care of boarders
yes, late game when you can have all dedicated slots and still have free crew leftover to deal with boarders and repairs, yes
but i'm forced to kneel because i've only beaten every ship on normal...
>I now remember that one rebel-centric fangic where one of the rebels had a lesbian relationship with a mantis
That being said, mantis are probably the only one except for slugs (and the only thing slugs deserve to have stuck in their orifices are business ends of burst lazers) that you could frick without having your dick crushed, burned or shredded.
Unfortunately you're likely to lose your head afterwards. But hey, at least you won't die a virgin
From what I remember she was a pirate/smuggler before sneaking into rebellion to avoid trouble with law and pretending to be a guy.
The other members of the crew were: >a hastily promoted lt, mantis war vet, recovering from alcoholism, strong believer in rebel ideas, overcame his fear of mantis and now just hates them with burning passion, usually boarding with a knife and a pistol >his best friend, also a vet from the same front, tankbuster, who had a metal arm and always brought his trusty shotgun along, savinv their asses on several occasions >mexican-descent engineer with a guitar and keen interest in writing songs about mantis war (which he was too young to partake in) always had at least five handguns on his person. Usually more. >by-the-book comms operator they found by chance. At least that's what everyone thinks. actually a rebel intelligence operative sent into their crewactually a fed counterintelligence agent working out the rebel command structureactually nobody knows for sure what his motives are anymore who used standard issue rifle
friends. Get 5 Lanius and a cloning pod. Witness galactic conquest.
Yes
Rebels are the good guys, but only if you play with a mod that makes them all white.
>le rebels are le good guys
it's just like my heckin' starwarserino!
who should be genocided by human? rock, mantis, engi, slug?
do the slugs and the rest will fall in line

If mantises are bad then explain how come my mantis friend slayed 39 crews in a single run?
>zoltans are pacifist
You don't really read the flavor text, right?
They arent really pacifists but they perfer diplomacy over violence

I think they could have a decent sci fye universe with what they have. Not great but its starting point is more fleshed out than star wars
Slugs are our greatest allies, engi are unironically our greatest allies, rockmen are chill, mantis are the Black folk of the galaxy.

>pilot gets mind-controlled

slug pilot is the way to go
for me it's rock

t. won with every ship on hard
yes, late game when you can have all dedicated slots and still have free crew leftover to deal with boarders and repairs, yes
but i'm forced to kneel because i've only beaten every ship on normal...
Mind control is probably the worst bonus system so i dont really care. Ill just keep gunning down the opponents weapons
more importantly, can you have sex with them?
i'd rather a mantis

why the FRICK would a human supremacist rebel fornicate with an ayy?
>not buckbreaking all these sexy ayys
Hopefully the homosexual purge will come before the alien genocide.
