In the depths of space, a young bat pony by the name of Star Dancer is found by the crew of the Kestrel during a mission of great importance.
A crossover with the game FTL. Ponies in space are always fun, right? And while there will be humans, they are far from the only race that will be appearing.
I miss FTL it was a good game

It still is. Nothing stopping you from playing it now, is there?
And if you feel like you've done everything, there are a handful of great mods that significantly increase the amount of content in the game. (And a ton of smaller mods that modestly increase the amount of content)

My PC is packed up and my phone can’t play FTL however when I get my PC ready I can play FTL again
11188738
Ah, personal circumstances. That's fair.
Personally, I love FTL as a game, and the idea of integrating ponies into it has always fascinated me, I'm exited to see where you will take it. However this chapter was a little hard to read, just some minor mistakes and redundancy that may turn some readers away, though I enjoyed it, and I hope you continue this further.
11188762
I'm glad to hear you're excited to see where the story is going and ended up doing a second editing pass over it fixing at least some of the grammar mistakes. Can't believe I missed some of them while writing lol.
FTL always captured the "space road-trip" vibe really well. Interested to see a new take on it!
What does FTL stand for and what’s the game about?
Forgot: This sounds promising and original. Can’t wait to see more!

"Faster Than Light". The game is about a ship that has acquired the rebel's plans for a massive battleship, and must report these findings to headquarters many sectors away. Along the way you must manage fuel and other supplies and upgrade your ship, trying to stay one step ahead of the enemy fleet. At the end you fight that very battleship to prevent the fall of the Federation.

Ah cool I’ll check it out
Oops, time to reinstall. I distinctly remember getting so mad at the last boss that I uninstalled, and I'm probably going to do it again in an hour or so, but I'm down.

It's easy for authors to miss typos. I think it's because you're reading it in a different way than the audience is, because you already know what it's supposed to say. I find it even harder to edit my own work for clarity for this exact reason.
11189701
Yeah, the final boss is one heck of a doozy. Even when you think you’re prepared, sometimes it just wrecks you anyways. And yeah, I certainly feel that problem with editing sometimes. It’s always the small simple mistakes that end up getting me since my mind just ignores the problem and just finishes the phrase in my head.
Poor little filly. She is going to have adventure of a lifetime. Hope this story is long for her to explore the unknown
11189916
That's the plan for it at the least, and the world of FTL has a whole bunch to explore.
Interesting, I think I will follow
Teron seems like a reliable leader. After all, he upgraded the doors.
Use the Doors
How old is the kid?
11193044
She's quite young at around 15.
11191467
The most important mark of a captain in the world of FTL. Whether or not they upgrade those damn doors lol.
11193156
Ah, she sounded more like 11. I have to wonder if she had been taken for a long period of time?
So far absolutely love your story and looking forward to more
Good chapter!
11193381
Glad to hear you've been enjoying it!
do you have a favorite cruiser, and if so which one? my personal favorite is lanius B
wow i love this story thank u
11196537
Personally I'm actually quite partial to the Zoltan Cruisers, their super shield is nice and beam weapons are my preferred weapon of choice. The stealth cruiser is a close second of mine though.
When is next chapter?
Awesome to see you back. That’s alright everyone has it slow time to time. Take it easy and have fun writing this tale.
Oh so she definitely might be coming home anytime soon. I like more stories we’re it’s mostly just pony focus then all of Equestria getting involved.
She has a sweet name for sure.
Darn I ran outta chapters.
And to think that I've been getting back into FTL, literally coming away from a failed run a few hours ago xD. Definitley keeping a track on this one.
11212296
That's the plan, no set deadlines, just write when the inspiration is good and it's fun to do so. And thanks! It's a very fitting name considering how she's quite literally dancing around the stars now.
Good chapter
11189701
I'd suggest using SpellCheck and listen to the story.
Are you using g'Doc to write this, or another word-editor with spellcheck on it?
For now, I'll continue to read, without uninstalling.
FTL = Faster than Light?
LTF = Lighter than F
11212977
Exactly, now we're just waiting for the next instalment.
Oh, and you have my Woot.
Great ch love the name looking forward to the new ch
11217258
Thanks, and lucky for you, you won't have to wait long at all.

I usually just write in Fimfic itself and I use Grammarly to catch any of the simpler mistakes I make after I've finished writing it. And FTL does indeed stand for Faster Than Light.
I am very interested to see what happens next. I am wondering if Nox is able to understand our pony, if not I would love to see what it would sound like.
FYI, the term is actually foolproof. But full proof actually works pretty well too, lol.
Also, where would the crew kind of be right now in a normal FTL run? Early on, like sector 2 or so?
She sounds like she probably has been capture for a long time? I wonder how long
Loving this, am addicted. Nox is indeed powerful for he is among the few who can tame the Door Monster.
Well time to crack the language barrier.
11217520
Glad to hear you've been enjoying it and at the moment Nox is unable to understand her. Only make a semi-educated guess based on how she's acting. Though they're working on solving that issue very soon.
11217575
The crew in a normal FTL run would be around the very end of the first sector at the exit beacon.
11217901
Truly anyone who can tame the Door Monster a people to fear greatly for they can lock you within a room without even touching the door! It's witchcraft I tell you, witchcraft!
11218341
Cool!
11218345
And right outside those doors is space. So really, when you think about it, whoever controls the doors, controls space.
Good chapter
11217499
Grammarly seems the app to go to, for this service.
On a separate note, you have my Woot
Now I just hope to find another chapter soon
