    So I personally like this much better than FTL. Something I’m not getting though is when I bought a treasure map, it said it would be in the next system over. I never noticed any indicator for where. Now I have a plot point to follow and the info said the location was marked on my map...I do not see it. What am I looking for exactly?

    I am not sure specifically for the treasure map, but usually event locations are marked with a light green diamond.

    To answer my own question it’s a green POI icon with an exclamation point in it, and they are in the next SECTOR over, not next system, so you have to beat the sector boss and go on to the next sector to see these.

    This game is pretty insane. One of the most "immersive" experiences on mobile ever. Visuals, sound, lore... I really felt like an admiral indeed.

    Just came to say that I love this game, just finished the first chapter, I'll try the second one tomorrow. What a treat !
    I find sometimes difficult to see the ennemies when in the middle of a battle, but other than that just perfect.

    Excellent news. It wasn’t in my update list for some reason; I’m glad of the heads up.

    Splendid game.

    Hi! Can the Advanced Tactics stuff be turned off like FTL does with the Advanced Edition? Thanks!

    Just started a new run having updated, and the answer to that right old question is a hard NOPE.

    Anyone play this on both iPad and PC?
    Does it play better on PC due to large screen and mouse or is this one of those games that shines with touch interface?

    Anybody else having issues with the touch controls after the update? Sometimes I can’t touch and hold to deploy ships for battle and also occasionally I come to a sector that I want to visit and again I touch a hold to visit and it won’t let me yet when I quit and returned to it I was able to then enter the sector. Frustrating

    yeah, i had the same issue once, but before the recent update, so maybe they fixed it now.

    just happened to me about 5 minutes ago. I minimized the game for a moment and when I came back anything requiring a long press stopped working :-/ couldn’t access hangars for my weapons or anything. Weird. I still love this game tho...

    This was fun.

    IMHO it has a bit more story if you play it only once.

    However it has a lot less replayability than FTL, the combat is IMHO less interesting, but some people will prefer the squadron based fights.

    The UI is a bit small for a phone though but is ok on tablet.

    Wish there was some retainable elements between chapters. Would be far more interesting if the progression was persistent.

    I’d like to buy this, but don’t want to waste £9 if it’s too small for my 12 pro max screen :(

    I play on an XS Max and it’s fine. Not ideal but, for me, perfectly playable.
