comment How does repair work?
It's worth noting that repair buoys have a certain amount of charge (the yellow line), they will recharge, but only if there are no ships in their repair radius.

comment Can I back up and restore my FTL save file?
It's worth pointing out that steam does sync your FTL achievements and unlocks.

comment Does game speed in Civ-V affect the viability of paths to victory?
Yeah, I agree a slow game seems to make a military victory more viable - the long period before units become obsolete is important, especially if they're your civ's special unit. Also at slow speeds culture and science take a long time to progress, so providing you keep your troops alive and don't have to build new ones, conquest works well.

comment What are the drawbacks of using explosives?
@TheShiftExchange Agreed. My hunch is that once they're dead they're the fragments can't be destroyed later, but would be good to test.

@spartacus I've had this happen when I was waiting for the rookies to arrive (it was either wait or send out a 2 man squad :\ )

comment What does the full research tree look like?
Yeah, several (or all) techs seem require you get to a certain point in the game - I didn't get Carapace Armour unlocked for research until I'd seen an Outsider (this may be a coincidence).

comment What are the drawbacks of using explosives?
@TheShiftExchange Does this relate to point 3? Will an explosion near a dead alien destroy those weapon fragments?

comment What determines if a soldier is gifted with psionic powers?
...either that or test raw recruits and fire those that fail.

comment What determines if a soldier is gifted with psionic powers?
So assuming the soldier's Will affects whether they're gifted, if you're playing on Ironman, you should wait until your soldiers are Colonels before testing them to maximise your chances. Kind of annoying to be honest.

comment What role is a “Heavy” supposed to fill?
@gkimsey Well, sort of - Rapid Fire (both at same target at same time of course), and also Close Combat Specialist could cause you to fire a second time.

comment Should I accept embassies from AI civilizations?
Just as a note, from what I've seen they seem to offer money when you don't have Writing yet and therefore they can't offer to accept an embassy in exchange.
