FTL is one of my favourite games. I've put probably 150 hours into playing it. Own it on GOG *and* Steam. I enjoy the fun of just playing a random adventure. The completion of the achievements in order to earn new ships, and then have a go at piloting them, are all things which make it very replayable for me. The game play is very well crafted. It is also great for small spurts of play. Play for 10 minutes, save the game, quit out, return later and continue from where you'd reached.
Watching news about the new game with interest.

I was hoping for a FTL 2 with something like an open Universe. I've dreamed about an Elite-like FTL... By the way, do you guys know if Star Citizen will come to linux?

Let's see…Steam says 358 hours in FTL for me, so whatever game Subset Games puts out next automatically has my attention. Seems interesting, I'll have to wait for more details.
Wonder if they'll put this one up on Kickstarter too, or if they've done well enough from FTL to make that unnecessary. :)

FTL was a gem, it will be hard to top. @Feda It never crashed for me and I played it on three different graphics cards and GPUs (Nvidia, Haswell, Atom).

I never finished FTL and could never bring myself to play it for a longer period of time. But I do like the game nonetheless.
Into the Breach looks very nice again and I will also pick it up.

Since they can't even finish it on Windows I won't get my hopes up to high. Much noise about something that might turn out to be average in the end... :/
