I don't actually like Captain's Edition as much as the stock FTL game.

FTL is really beautifully balanced. CE adds a lot of stuff that dilutes a lot of the core mechanics and economies, and while the new content is interesting, the balance and tradeoffs in the limited stock toolkits are ultimately what makes FTL compelling.

@starkatt I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way! I like some of the new stuff, but it's just too much to keep track of. Especially 'cause I hadn't really figured out all of the base game yet.

Fortunately, there's a switch to turn off the advanced content. I... keep forgetting to do that!

@ElectricKeet oh, I love Advanced Edition (especially flak); it's the Captain's Edition mod that doesn't suit me.

@starkatt Oops! Sorry, got confused there. I am a simple Keet. *blush*

And yes, I'll admit to loving flak cannons waaaaaaay too much, but... actually, I'm gonna make a separate post about flak cannons. *grin*
