FTL: Faster Than Light is a procedurally generated roguelike game that has you captain a starship to its doom, repeatedly.

To do: Revisional differences. The event STORM_BOARDING was re-added at some point, previously removed. Version differences (between desktop/iPad). There are some ideas for events in comments spread throughout the event XML files. Are there any that were never implemented? There may be more unused events or partially commented-out events that were missed.

Sub-Pages

Unused Events

General Unused Events Several completely unused events, including ghosts..? Also includes leftovers from the original demo of the game.

Test Events Events explicitly used for testing, including experimentation with integrating the names of crewmembers into events.

Partially Unused Events Otherwise-used events that have unused commented-out sections.

Internal Species and Ship Names

Some of the internal names of the species and ship classes don't match their final, in-game names.

Species

Name	Blueprint name	Ship prefix
Human	human	fed rebel
Engi	engi	circle
Mantis	mantis	mantis
Slug	slug	jelly
Rockman	rock	rock
Crystal	crystal	crystal
Zoltan	energy	energy
Lanius	anaerobic	anaerobic

The most notable things here are the Engi ("circle"), the Slugs ("jelly"), the Zoltan ("energy"), and the Lanius ("anaerobic"). The Lanius are also occasionally referred to as "Shrike", and, informally, "metal aliens". "The Shrike" is also the name of the Lanius Cruiser's 'B' layout. It is perhaps also worth mentioning that the Zoltan ships are still called 'Energy' in their class names in-game.

In addition to the differences in prefixes, some enemy ship classes also have differing internal names, perhaps most notably the Slug ships; the Slug Interceptor (jelly_button), the Slug Light-Cruiser (jelly_croissant), and the Slug Assault (jelly_truffle). These names were likely originally used as the actual class names, as evidenced by the unused "Truffle Wreckage" ghost ships, which use the Slug Assault layout.

Unused Achievement

They Should Really Have Spacesuits

Have 10 enemy crew die while suffocating by sector 5.

There is a commented-out achievement in achievements.xml, which was originally the Lanius Cruiser's third ship-specific achievement, and was replaced with the achievement 'Loss of Cabin Pressure'.

The Lanius Cruiser has a commented-out layout in dlcBlueprints.xml with the blueprint name PLAYER_SHIP_ANAEROBIC_3, though the actual room layout of the ship can no longer be found in the game's files. A comment above the blueprint says:

This is the original 1st version.  I replaced it with the U shaped ship with the inner ring of airlocks.  I'm 
keeping this in case we need another layout for now 

The "U shaped ship with the inner ring of airlocks" is Layout A of the Lanius Cruiser in-game, indicating that this was originally going to be Layout A.

Additionally, there are two 'ghost ships' in blueprints.xml (though these are commented out), GHOST_SHIP_MED and GHOST_SHIP_HARD, both with the class "Truffle Wreckage". They, like the impossible pirate, use the pirate version of the Slug Assault class (which was originally named the Truffle class). Neither of the ships have any crew, and hence would have operated similarly to automated ships. These ships were likely originally going to be used in the unused event GHOST_SHIP, which also made use of the removed 'ghost' species.

There are two unused drone types in blueprints.xml, both likely removed due to being too over-powered.

BOSS_DEFENSE_2

Unused	Used
BOSS_DEFENSE_2 Level 2 Target Description Shoots faster than Mark I and can also shoot down incoming lasers. Power requirement 2 Firing cooldown 750ms Scrap cost 75 Drone weapon DRONE_LASER Weapon icon Rarity 0	DEFENSE_2 Level Target LASERS Description It fires faster than Mark I and can also shoot down incoming lasers. Power requirement 3 Firing cooldown 880ms Scrap cost 70 Drone weapon DRONE_LASER_2 Weapon icon defense2 Rarity 3	DEFENSE_2_ENEMY Level Target LASERS Description BUG- Should not be seen Power requirement 3 Firing cooldown 880ms Scrap cost 70 Drone weapon DRONE_LASER_2 Weapon icon defense2 Rarity 0

This unused drone type (BOSS_DEFENSE_2) appears to be a copy of an earlier version of the Defense Drone Mark II (or the duplicate of it which is used for enemies). The name of the blueprint would seem to imply that it would have been used by the Rebel Flagship; it isn't used in the final game. The above table only contains the properties that differ between the versions of the drone.

Comments in the blueprint for the used Defense Drone Mark II drone blueprints indicate that the cooldown of the drone was originally 750ms and the cost was originally 75, meaning that it is likely the only difference between the standard version and the boss version was the power requirement.

Unused Augments

To do: What are 'bp' and 'value'?

There are a number of commented-out ship augments in blueprints.xml, under various headings, a lot of which were never implemented. Furthermore, the ship-specific augment 'Titanium System Casing' was originally named 'Reinforced System Casing', and this name is still present, commented out.

Unused augments

Blueprint name	Name	Description	Scrap cost	BP	Rarity	Stackable?	Value
Ship-specific augments
ADV_HULL_ARMOR	Advanced Hull Plating	State of the art hull armor provides a massive 25 percent chance to negate incoming hull damage (hit systems will still be damaged).	100	15	0	True	0.25
Standard augments
HULL_ARMOR	Reinforced Hull Plating	Superior hull armor provides a 15 percent chance to negate incoming hull damage (hit systems will still be damaged).	60	8	2	True	0.15
"OTHER IDEAS"
PERSONAL_TELEPORTER	Personal Teleporters	Crew on an enemy ship that is jumping or being destroyed will be automatically recalled.	150		4	False
FLIGHT_SUITS	Integrated Flight Suits	Crews take half damage when in rooms without oxygen	80		2	False	0.5
SHIP_SEALING	Improved Ship Sealing	O2 will deplete at 50% speed when the Oxygen system is unpowered.	100		2	False	0.5

ENCODED_DISTRESS	Encrypted Distress Signal	Your distress signal will be more likely to be picked up by friendly ships.	100		3	False
TELEPORTER_PREIGNITE	Teleporter Pre-igniter	The teleporter is made immediately available after an FTL jump.	130		3	False
HEAT_RESIST	Heat Resistant Suits	Reduces damage crew takes from fire by 50%	70		2	False	0.5
BEAM_PIERCE		Gives all beam weapons 1 shield piercing	80		2	False	1

The unused augment 'Reinforced Hull Plating' was modified slightly and re-used as the ship-specific 'Rock Plating' augment:

Blueprint name	Name	Description	Scrap cost	BP	Rarity	Stackable?	Value
ROCK_ARMOR	Rock Plating	Superior hull armor provides a 15 percent chance to negate incoming hull damage (hit systems will still be damaged).	80	8	0	False	0.15

Two of the commented-out "other ideas" ('Integrated Flight Suits' and 'Missile Replication System') were implemented in FTL: Advanced Edition, with slight differences:

Blueprint name	Name	Description	Scrap cost	BP	Rarity	Stackable?	Value
O2_MASKS	Emergency Respirators	Crew take half damage from low oxygen.	50	8	2	False	0.5
EXPLOSIVE_REPLICATOR	Explosive Replicator	Missile based weapons have a 50 percent chance of not using a missile.	60	8	3	False	0.5

Unused Graphics

Trader Map Box

An unused map pointer that says "TRADER". Internally, "TRADER" generally refers to events that give the player a single trade/exchange offer, as opposed to an actual store interface. These events can't be returned to, and are not marked on the map.

Help Screen Overlays

To do: Are you sure these aren't used?

Ship Challenge

There are textures relating to a "ship challenge" stored with the hangar textures.

color_kestrel_1

This small icon is also stored with the hangar textures. There aren't corresponding ones for any other ship.

Null Resource

This texture is likely used if a texture is missing.

Weapons Subsystem

There are octagonal versions of the weapons system icon present alongside the ones which are used. Octagonal icons (as opposed to round icons) are used for subsystems.

These icons also have separate versions for the game's colorblind mode, though, unlike with the other originally-green icons, the green icons here have not been changed to white, and, indeed, appear to be duplicates of the original two green icons.

Scrap Cursor

A version of the mouse cursor, with the scrap icon.

Unused Hack Button Icons

Unused
Used

Unused buttons for the hacking system are present. In-game, the drone icon is used, until the hacking drone is launched, at which point it switches to using the same icons as the cloaking system.

Unused Sounds

To do: More comparisons with used sounds, where appropriate.

Most of the game's sound files are prefixed with 'bp' (or for Advanced Edition sounds, 'AESFX' or 'FTLX'), likely referring to Ben Prunty, who did the game's music, and, seemingly, much of the sound design. However, there are also quite a few sounds without a prefix, mostly in WAV format (unlike the 'bp' sounds, which are OGG files), which are seemingly older and which are mostly unused.

aliens/

bp_SFX_MantisFight.ogg

explosions/

bp_hit_hull_3.ogg

There is a hitHull3 tag in data/sounds.xml, though for some reason it just uses bp_hit_hull_2.ogg again, instead of this sound.

explosion_lofi_med2.wav

explosion_lowfi_block1.wav

explosion_lowfi_block2.wav

explosion_lowfi_long1.wav

explosion_lowfi_small1.wav and explosion_lowfi_small1.ogg

This file has an OGG version, which seems to imply that this was replaced later than the others. There are a few other prefixless WAV sound files which have used OGG versions (not documented here).

explosion_lowfi_small2.wav and explosion_lowfi_small2.ogg

This file also exists as both a WAV and an OGG.

hit1.wav

hit2.wav

hitshieldb1.wav

hitshieldb2.wav

hitshieldb3.wav

shieldsdown1.wav

This file is identical to the file 'shield_down1.wav' in the 'ship' directory (see below), a modified version of which is used in-game. The reason that this file is in the 'explosions' directory isn't apparent.

ship/

bp_door_close_1.ogg

This file is identical to 'bp_door_close.ogg' in the 'ui' directory. Neither are used.

Unused	Used
bp_drone_launch_1.ogg bp_drone_launch_3.ogg	bp_drone_launch_2.ogg

engines_power_down2.wav

engines_power_on2.wav

jump2.wav

Unused	Used
shield_down1.wav	shield_down1.ogg

The used (OGG) version of this sound cuts a small part of the start of the original (WAV) sound. As mentioned above, 'shield_down1.wav' is identical to 'shieldsdown1.wav' in the 'explosions' directory.

ui/

bp_alarm_1.ogg

This particular sound has a commented-out tag in sounds.xml, evidencing that it was replaced with the sound 'warning3.ogg'.

bp_alarm_2.ogg

bp_alarm_3.ogg

bp_door_close.ogg

The file 'bp_door_open.ogg' is used for both the opening and closing of doors. As mentioned above, this file is identical to 'bp_door_close_1.ogg' in the 'ship' directory.

sun_flare.wav

Missing Kickstarter Backer Names

The file names.xml defines the lists of names that are used for crewmembers (and enemy crewmembers), including the names of those who pledged over $100 to the game's Kickstarter, and thus had their names added to the crew roster. There is, however, a comment at the top of the section of the file with the backer names, with the following:

Missing:
	$100
	Chase Cagle
	
	$500
	Steve Swink

These names are indeed missing from the list of possible names.
