  Well, there have been many games that have been influenced by the whole point to point event based rogue like map ideas, but most games don't handle the combat the same way exactly, or have that same extremely punishing balance.

  I'd love to see a full on FTL 2.

      Cobalt Core is a newish one that’s very inspired by FTL.

        Cobalt Core went on sale and I picked it up - it’s fantastic! Thanks again for the recommendation

        Added it to my wishlist! (I’m a patient gamer, after all)

      I don't play the genre much, I didn't even get that far in FTL itself, but Convoy is one I know of off the top of my head, if I think of any others I'll come back and edit.

  Well, not 1-to-1, although there were some clones.

  But plenty games took on the idea behind it. The most direct would probably be Crying Suns, which features a type of character-to-station assignment, real time placement element and roguelike generated galaxy traversal. It changes each element, but the pieces are all there.

  Other games take more indirect inspiration. The Bomber/Space/etc Crew games focus on the move-people-around-the-ship part of FTL, clearly. There were a few games where something chases you through generated levels so you cannot linger and explore it all.
