Chapter 86 Isn't this handsome guy me?
The comic cutscene ended, and a prompt popped up.

"Starting the game for the first time, it is strongly recommended to go through the tutorial first to familiarize yourself with the basic content of the game. Do you want to skip the tutorial and start the game directly?"

Lin Fan patted the back of his head: "Strongly recommend? Then have a look."

So he chose No to enter the tutorial interface.

"Welcome to FTL! You are the captain of a Federation starship on a difficult and dangerous mission.

Brutal rebel forces are toppling the Federation, and your ship carries intel vital to the Federation's defenses.

There is a fleet of rebels chasing after you. You need to go through various dangerous star areas in the galaxy and reach the exit beacons of each star area before the rebels catch up. "

In the center of the screen is a spaceship shaped like a kestrel.

Although it is an overhead view, it can still be recognized that it is the same model as the spaceship in the loading screen.

This type of spaceship was once a service ship of the Federation, but it was decommissioned several years ago.Now remodeled and given a new lease of life.

It can be seen that the interior of the spacecraft is divided into small cabins one by one, and some cabins display special icons, which seem to represent their respective functions.

"The circular icon at the bottom left of the screen represents the main systems of the spacecraft, and the energy used by each system comes from the reactor (pointed by the arrow).

The icons in the lower right corner represent subsystems, which do not require energy to operate.

Hover over a system icon to see more information about that system. "

The energy part of the spaceship is very simple and intuitive. The green squares indicate the energy that can be used, and the empty slots on the system indicate how many grids can be filled.

Lin Fan moved the mouse to check.

Reactor: Unused reactor energy can be used to recharge the system.

【

Shield: Maintain a shield to block attacks.Shield recharge speed can be increased when manned.

Level 2 charge: a layer of shield barrier

state:-
fully charged -
Unmanned
】

Medical Pod: Heals the crew in the medical pod.

Oxygen: Replenish the oxygen supply of the battleship.

Shields, engines, medical cabins, oxygen, weapons, pilots, sensors, hatches...

Lin Fan swept it over and muttered, "It's a bit complicated!"

However, the icons of each system are in line with their own characteristics, and they are relatively easy to recognize.

For example, the icon of the shield is a honeycomb shape composed of hexagons, and there is an arc on the edge.

The medical pod icon is a red cross, and the weapon icon is two missiles placed side by side.

The icon below corresponds to the icon of the cabin in the spaceship.

"The upper left corner shows the hull durability, shield level and current resources. When the hull durability drops to zero, the spaceship will be destroyed."

Then, the tutorial guides how to charge the system and how to assign personnel to repair the broken system.

The icon for the damaged engine turned from gray to crimson, and a short, loud siren sounded.

Lin Fanyi guided and selected a crew member at the head of the spaceship, and right-clicked on the engine room.

The crew began to move, and when they arrived at the location, they knelt down and took out a wrench, and began to repair it.

The engine icon changed from a completely damaged dark red to a partially intact light orange, which was restored when the repairs were completed.

"Crews will automatically repair systems in their compartments, extinguish fires, patch damage to the hull and fight intruders.

Fighting, lack of oxygen, and fire will cause the crew to lose blood. "

Then came the teaching of fire fighting. The airlock on the right side of the spaceship's wing was on fire, and a large flame was burning in the cabin.

Lin Fan opened the outer cabin door according to the instructions, watched the fire gradually diminish until it disappeared, and was taken aback for a while: "In addition to allowing the crew to extinguish the fire, you can also open the cabin door and discharge the oxygen in the cabin to extinguish the fire? Is it so scientific?" ?”

Chambers that have been depleted of oxygen appear dangerously pink, but when the hatch is closed, the spacecraft's oxygen system will slowly and automatically replenish oxygen.

After the teaching of jumping and fighting, Lin Fan was full of confidence: "I have completely mastered this game!"

The tutorial is over and you enter the opening interface. The background here seems to be a spaceship factory.

It can be seen that tall stone men are carrying heavy containers and walking slowly between the spaceships. There are also human engineers standing on the engineering ladder, opening the tail engine casing of a spaceship, and are checking and repairing it.

There are also spaceships that have not yet been assembled, with various parts and energy blocks scattered around. Several cables inside are connected to the external computer. An engineer is sitting in front of the computer and typing something with his hands, as if he is debugging.

In the center of the screen is the spaceship selected by the player, and the default is the Kestrel.

Lin Fan was already familiar with this spaceship in the novice tutorial, so he didn't plan to change it to another one.

"Can the crew still customize it?" Lin Fan clicked curiously, and the face-squeezing interface appeared immediately.

In this interface, you can customize your name, choose gender, skin color, face, hairstyle, decoration, clothing, etc.

Lin Fan became interested and carefully adjusted the character's image.Soon, an interstellar mercenary with an arrogant and unruly handsome face, wild yellow hair, and muscles as strong as a leopard appeared.

Lin Fan was quite satisfied in his heart: "It's not bad, it's quite similar to me."

Set the character name to "Lin Fan", and choose to save the image.

In this way, if you customize the crew again in the future, you can directly select the saved image without repeating the process.

The option for specialties is greyed out, and the note reads "After defeating the flagship for the first time, specialties can be set for the initial crew.".

There is also an option of "Set as Captain", and the note is very interesting: "Only affects the appearance scene of the character in the game, and does not affect the character's attributes."

Although Lin Fan didn't know what it meant, he still chose it.

The remaining two crew members are directly randomized.

"Easy, normal and hard? Easy is boring, let's play normal difficulty." Lin Fan clicked to start the game.

The option disappeared, and the steel plate on which the Kestrel was moored slowly sank, exposing the spaceship channel at the bottom.

A new comic cutscene appears.

The background of the picture seems to be the cockpit of the spacecraft, with a multi-angle surround display screen, a digital matrix keyboard console, a rotatable ergonomic space chair, and a huge porthole with a height of one person on three sides.

Through the porthole, you can see the dark starry sky, the twinkling stars and the huge khaki planet not far away.

The huge porthole gives people a sense of immersion, as if you can touch the starry sky with your fingers.

In a new style of comics, the perspective shifted to the person sitting in front of the bridge. His arrogant and unruly face and yellow hair were instantly recognizable.He holds an open space can in his hand and is eating.

Lin Fan's eyes lit up: "Hey, isn't this me? This form is so interesting!"

On the top right of the screen in front of Huangmao Linfan is the snake-shaped logo of the villain organization, which should be their TV channel.

A hostess with heavy make-up is located on the right side of the screen, introducing the news with a tense expression, and the most conspicuous thing in the screen is the close-up of the heroic Kestrel, and a red triangle with a sense of urgency is marked beside it exclamation mark.

It seems that the Kestrel has been wanted by the rebels.

A new frame shows a star map on another screen, with dotted lines connecting different planets.

Immediately afterwards, the screen turned, and the angle of view was the profile of the yellow-haired Lin Fan.He rested his elbows on the console, crossed his hands and rested his chin, and stared at the screen, seemingly in thought.

"The next route..."
