Description
I was just minding my own business, playing FTL, when some silly Brit tells me to draw my crew. I say I'll draw them when I get a full crew of 8, realizing this almost never happens. Sure enough, I actually get a crew of 8. Sure enough, they all died, and sure enough, I actually felt bad for them. ;_;
If you don't know what FTL is, go check it out. Any game that can make you feel sad for little pixel people dying in space is worth a look.
In case you were wondering, Charlie and Butters were boarding crew, Caris and Firedihm were both in charge of weapons, Elnubnub was the engine man, Jax kept up the shields, and Kirkner just repaired things when they broke down. Amusingly, all the aliens on this ship have normal names, while the humans have weird ones.

ELNUBNUB. Definitely my favorite name from the game.

If I gave a dedication like this to every crew or crewmate I lost in FTL, I'd have a Deviations Section the size of Arlington.

We've all been there.

Maybe once I actually beat the game, I'll illustrate a crew. As it is, I've become (somewhat) desensitized. Not enough so that losing a crew member doesn't hit me, however (which is good, since that's more than I can say for most games, even the good ones).

FINALLY just beat it on Normal. The good news: I recorded my crew and ship so I can draw them. Bad news: I'm can't quite remember which crewmates did what, so half of their roles will be approximate guesstimating, though thankfully I know what the other half did.

Sad! Β Yeah I still can't beat the game. Β On EASY. Β And with save cheating!! Β I got fed up with dying all the time in stupid ways so I backup my progress. Β It's amazing how attached to your crew you can get. Β I had a crack boarding team of 2 mantis, then I replaced one with a new rock guy. Β In my mind the other mantis was a bit jealous and was threatening mutiny. Β Needless to say I'm planning a fan fiction comic XD

Start with Zoltan cruiser and get burst laser level 3, keeping Halbeld beam, and also hope for a pre-igniter.

Rockman Magmar and Mantis Olofsson. True boys that break unbrekable - destroy Rebel Flagship. Rest in peace, Heroes.

I've had somebody named Elnubnub on my ship 3 different times. Rest in peace Elubnub, rest in peace.

It's a really weird name, but it's memorable.

Yeah. Whenever I see Elnubnub in my starting crew I keep the name like that. This is the 5th time I have had a crewmember called Elnubnub, first time he's ever lived to see the flagship explode.

Whilst doing a desperate attempt at the last boss, I boarded the enemy ship with all of my crew.....then flasgship escaped with all of my victorious engies and humans.
Even today I feel bad for them ; _ ;

Sadly, they don't even come back in the next phase.

The very first time I played this game I made it to sector 8 with very few problems...and promptly got stomped by the rebel flagship. On game 22 I managed to beat the flagship for the very first time. Be patient!

Randomly generated names are not always very fitting.

Sorry for not being made of fuel.

That's right, you better be sorry! D8<
btw what species is Kirk?
π: 0 β©: 1
He's an Engi, a partially robotic species that's utterly shit at combat but really good at repairing.
Obviously, he's the mechanic.

i imagine the engi more robotic-like 
I've lost like A LOT of them till now, still cant manage to stop the rebels -.-...
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I had to kind of make up what the Engi looked like. It does mention that there are people who think they're organic, so I figured it wouldn't be TOO obvious.
I'm sure I'll beat this game EVENTUALLY...

Keep dreaming, there are two ships that can defeat the rebel flag ship. One is the crystal ship, which requires a lot of random events to happen in the right order, and the Osprey, the ship you unlock when you beat the final boss.Anyone who can win with the stealth ship cheated.

The Mantis ship is pretty good at it too. Since they're all humies and their weapons are nicely isolated, they go down quickly to boarding. My main problem is that fucking power surge. Man, I can't time my stealth right for that.
