What You Should Do Is Make It So There is Three Game mode The First, Where Two Players Can Play Co-op Where They Both Get A Single Ship (each) But The A.I's During Battle Have 2 Ships(Or A More Powerful One) In It Works The Same As Regular FTL. The Second One In Witch Two Players Verse Each other In A Single Battle(Or Multiple Rounds) The Third With Four Players(In Witch A Match Making Type Of Thing Could Work.) Two Teams verse Each Other Both Composed Of Two Players With A One Ship Each In A Battle Or Multiple. Also There Should Be Ranks And At The Highest You Can Use A Modded Ship.

I had an idea to keep the original story, the other player plays as an escort to help protect against enemys and scout ahead.

i think it would be cool if the fleet was on like a timer and every so often the fleet jumps, but both players are the federation... thats what i think would be cool.

I like this idea, I wish you luck with it. Some suggestions I would have is to talk to some of the people who've made some of the really interesting/ large mods for advice and tips about the challenges and ways to get the most of your time, like sleeper service if he/she has time to. Also, it would add something nice to fights if there was a way to have some kind of passive way of taking fire from opposing ships that you aren't actively engaging. Of course, this passive fire would be best coming from A.I ships rather than from player ships, since I'm having a hard time imagining a player passively firing at at opposing ships, especially when another ship is actively engaging yours.

I think there should be a mode where there are two teams and they have to battle each other. Before the battles player can fit there ships with weapons depending on their ranks and what they have bought. You can unlock ships when you level up. To level up you will have get a set number of kills that unlocks the next ship. The ships have stock weapons, but to upgrade you have to rank up. Levels contain the ranks, for example, 3 ranks in level 1, 5 ranks in level 2, 8 ranks in level 3. Ranks unlock weapons and levels unlock new ships, but to get to the next level you have to fully upgrade the previous ship and get the set number of kills. Also the kill number gets higher the more you level up to make the mod/game harder. Who else thinks this is a good idea?

Love the idea of multi-player FTL..
Some great ideas floating around here.

I would love to battle a friend, or random 1v1 with one of MY ships.
and MY ship is selected from my high score list (the ones played on hard), crew and all.
maybe with a limited number of pauses each?

how's the coding going anyway?
any updates?

How about this:

Both players start on other sides of the galaxy (or whatever). They both race to the middle in real time, fighting the usual AI and collecting. When they both reach the middle sector, its like the final sector in Single player: both ships are on other sides and must meet up to fight to the death. If one player gets there first, a time limit starts and the player who got there will start shooting the other players' base. After either 5 minutes or so (your choice), or the first player destroys all 3 bases (which have defenses), the second player loses.

I call it Crash Course, but you can rename it.

PS: you don,t have to, but if you could include my name in there somehow, you would be literally the best person on the globe.
