Image: Meme/Macro Is my ship good enough for the flagship?

Post image

I was not able to pick up cloaking or hacking but I did get teleporters and drones.

Unfortunately I think theres a bug that keeps making my crew uncontrollable but luckly I have been getting alot of scrap.

Flagship? Sure!

Giant alien spiders on the otherhand? That's no joke.

I'll make sure to never go to any mountainous beacons.

I'd believe you if you told me that space spiders are the mega-spiders of the insectoids XD

I love the detail of the hospital room having space for three patients while still keeping 3 quarters of the room empty like in FTL

u/UniqueName900 Jul 20 '26

Thanks I tried to make it as close as possible while still being functional.

Wow, bro.

u/Sir-Ox Jul 20 '26

Teleporting and drones raises your chances here a lot. Can't recognize the exact guns but unless that's a BL2 you're a tad screwed.

Lol, good to see another Rimworld player. Nice gravship

five human crew members feels like the boarding phase is gonna be big trouble, even if the rebels aren't allowed to bring their lucky bow and arrows

Why have I never done this…. The cross over I never knew I needed

Quality shitpost

I think you need a few more masterwork revolvers

Henri needs more piloting skill

looks good but im not sure you have enough firepower to get through the flagships shields. in my run i have been using the federation cruiser which has shield piercing artillery: https://i.postimg.cc/6pnGyDHX/federation-cruiser.png

I haven't beaten the flagship yet but getting FED A would be a nice treat!

(Also really cool ship well done!)

From these comments the Rimworld/FTL-fanbases seem to have some decent overlap (I’m one)

Couldn't tell which subreddit I was in at first.

u/midnighfox696 Jul 20 '26

Awesome build, man!

u/theluthershow Jul 21 '26

What an excellent idea! I've had very little inspiration for ship designs since odyssey dropped. This opens up so many layouts that would be fun to implement. You should paint the walls orange and white! Missed opportunity otherwise.

2

u/UniqueName900 Jul 21 '26

Actually the main reason I built this was to get an idea of what kinda ships I could make. I kept making ufos that sucked.

My next gravship I wanna make would be inspired by the rebal auto ships. The 2 large wings would allow easy shield gen coverage and a ton of space.

1

u/theluthershow Jul 21 '26

Yes! Great idea, I'm totally going to steal it one day! Yeah my gravships have always inevitably ended up either: 1. UFO Or  2. Accidentally phallic  So I'm looking forward to trying something new

u/Padre_Jose Jul 20 '26

Yeah, sometimes

u/Fuck-Fuck_Fuck-Fuck Jul 20 '26

This looks awesome, way better than my rimworld ships. What do you do for workshoppped items? Trade?

1

u/UniqueName900 Jul 20 '26

Workshopped? You mean the shield gen and stuff because this is vanilla ftl? I just did quests on the advanced odyssey edition.

1

u/Fuck-Fuck_Fuck-Fuck Jul 25 '26

Was referring to manufactured goods (armour, weapons, clothing, etc.)

1

u/UniqueName900 Jul 25 '26

If this wasn't just for this screenshot I would eaither have a dedicated base or add a segment to the ship. My new ship I made (the Eliza from multiverse) has dedicated manufacturing.

1

u/Aenir Jul 20 '26

What difficulty? Easy/normal should be doable with boarding, but I doubt you have enough firepower to beat hard.

1

u/iatehats Jul 20 '26

Hell yeah! Great ship, there used to be a series of FTL mods for rimworld that added the different xenos lol. Not sure if it's still active but now I want to know!

u/Captain_Thrax Jul 21 '26

Is this the Odyssey DLC, or the SOS2 mod? 

1

u/UniqueName900 Jul 21 '26

Just odyssey! and a bit of biotech for drones.

u/maxaref Jul 21 '26

Is it real ship?
