Overview
A constantly updating guide to beacon encounters in FTL: Advanced Edition.
Intro
Welcome to The Hitchhikers Guide! Here, myself and others will be postion the beacon encounters that were added in Advanced Edition. (From here on it will be refered to as AE) This is still a work in progress, and is not yet complete. Upon the (unlikely) event of completion, the information will be moved to the FTL wiki. If you are interested in being a writer for the guide, or you just want to learn what some of the terms that will be used mean please go to the discuission I started here [link]. If you are correcting inaccuracies, a snapshot is appreicated, although not required. Other than that let’s get going!
Limbo
This is Limbo. Here new entries will be posted and held for a week. They will be held here so that they can be evaluted for multiple things: Content, Accuracy, and actually being an AE event. If you have any information pertaining to the posted entries, please comment below, but be sure to specify what entry you are talking about.
Entry 1: Found in Civilian Sector
Rebel Checkpoint
Date Posted: 4/13/14
Needs more options explored
It looks like this Beacon is home to a rebel checkpoint. They’re stopping and searching every ship that passes through. Civilians are being harassed and Federation members detained. The Rebels haven’t noticed you yet.
1. Fend for yourself, attack and escape
(Fight a Rebel ship)*
2. Bribe the Rebels to release the civilian ships (minus small scrap amount)
The Rebels are easily swayed by the prospect of additional scrap. They release the civilian ships and everyone is free to go.
1. Contact the Civilian ships
A. (Receive small supplies reward, and small scrap)*
B. One of the civilian ships contacts you and reveals they are Federation loyalists. An eavesdropping Rebel swoops in, destroys the ship, and turns to attack you.
(Fight a Rebel ship)
C. The civilian ships are grateful, but don’t with to be mistaken as Federation loyalists. They jump away. (End of Encounter)
3. Fly behind a moon and stay hidden
(End of encounter)*
