It was the doors that got me in the end.
The good (space) ship Dodo only managed 2 miserable jumps before meeting the drone that would be her undoing. The drone may have looked innocuous enough but its first volley took out Dodo's weapons and things began to look bad.
A crew member frantically tried to bring weapons back online but in the mean time the drone was free to pound the ship with missiles. Those missiles passed right through shields and soon fires were burning throughout the ship.
The crew tried to put out the conflagrations while the hail of missiles continued. One brave ensign lost his life in the effort and the Captain realised that more desperate steps would be required. Pulling the crew back to a safe area he opened the airlocks in order to vent air from the fiery regions. This drastic method worked and the flames were extinguished so the crew set about repairing the damage. With life support, shields, weapons and engines all damaged no one paid much attention when the door controls took an unlucky hit.
Patching together a laser they managed to disable the drone's missile weapon and the crew felt a glimmer of hope. Perhaps the ensuing lull would give them enough time to repair a few vital systems starting with life support. Oxygen levels were running dangerously low so this had become rather urgent. They reckoned there was enough time to fix it before everyone suffocated but but it was essential to get someone down to life support to start the repairs immediately.
Unfortunately life support was still open to the vacuum of space
and the door controls were offline.

??? Is it "Faster than light"?
I am really enjoying it but it is very hard to get to the end.
Are you going to try FTL yourself? I strongly recommend it.
I think there's a very good chance I will pick this one up, just as soon as my friend repairs my computer so I have more PC time to myself.
