The expansion, called FTL: Advanced Edition, adds new enemies, augments, systems and more, according to the game's official site . Developer Subset Games also made sure to tweak smaller facets of the gameplay as well, including the ability to save crew positions and save and quit during combat.For any players wishing to stick to FTL's roots, the new additions and changes can be disabled in the hangar before a new game starts.The simultaneously announced iPad version of FTL will download with the expansion included, and is fully modified for touch screen controls. Subset Games says it will continue to look into versions for other tablets, but is devoting all of its focus to the iPad for now.
