Is there something else called FTL: Faster Than Light? If not, then please removed the parenthesis. -- IronMaidenRocks ( talk) 09:32, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
The page currently describes this game as a roguelike, but at best it can be considered a roguelike-like, in that it contains some elements of a roguelike, but not enough to be considered one. It is even described this way on the developer's own webpage. Gilgatex ( talk) 20:54, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
Why does the article say, that it is a simulator? It's a space fighting game. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.94.9.156 ( talk) 19:38, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
How can this game rightfully be considered an rts? It shares very little in common with other games of that genre aside from the action of clicking certain units and ordering them around and its top-down perspective. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.236.66.29 ( talk) 04:46, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space (2005) has been cited by Justin Ma as being one of FTL's primary inspirations, for example, during his acceptance speech for FTL's IGF award. Can this be worked in? Weird Worlds and its precursor, Strange Adventures in Infinite Space (2002), had an impact and along with Lost Labyrinth (2001), were also vanguards of the movement into the hybrid roguelike realm. 50.54.225.39 ( talk) 16:02, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
According to Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Article guidelines#Organization, "[in the] Lead section: The name of the game in bold italics, its gameplay genre, release date, platform, and other identifying information go first." The lead first para should present the basic background information (in this case, release dates etc) per WP:LEADPARAGRAPH. So should we move the release date from the bottom para to it? Sincerely, Ugog Nizdast ( talk) 13:40, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
noting that there were almost no barriers to the player restarting after a failed attempt; in considering that a loss in FTL means the player must restart the game, they felt that there had to be no barriers at all for the player to start a new game.

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
This is a quality article, and the development section looks fantastic. However, I got to say that the gameplay, reception and the lead suffer from quite a lot of problems, which I think will take quite a long time to fix. The article is reaching the GA status, but there is a lot of room for improvement. Leaving this on hold.

It is shocking that Starfleet Battles is not listed as an influence for this game, considering that except for not using Star Trek and Trek-themed ship designs, this game is almost a perfect rendition of the Starfleet Battles gameplay.

This game is not Chinese game but was marked as Category:Video games developed in China. I have told User:DrStrauss to fix the problem and he removed the category.
The article Subset Games redirects to this article. The redirect was decided upon because, at the time, Subset just had one game, this one. Now that they have two games, does it make sense to ressurect/recreate the Subset Games article? Both games, while not AAA games, were highly acclaimed. Thoughts? — Frεcklεfσσt | Talk 18:26, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
The synopsis says the Rebels are xenophobic, but there's no valid citation for this. The first citation doesn't load anymore, and the other citation is a review where the reviewer claims the rebels are human supremacist but doesn't say why.
I've got a lot of hours in this game and I don't think the Rebels are portrayed as a xenophobic group. There is to my knowledge only one single example in the game of one guy on one rebel ship with this attitude. 121.200.5.198 ( talk) 03:46, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
