''[[https://subsetgames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15663 FTL: Faster Than Light Captain's Edition]]'' (or CE for short) is a massive community overhaul mod for ''[[VideoGame/FTLFasterThanLight FTL: Faster Than Light]]'' by Subset Games.
The mod takes the core gameplay of ''FTL'' and expands upon it greatly, adding a whole host of new weapons, ship types, upgrades, an entire subset of space station-type enemies, a 'slew' of new dialogue, events, and features to enhance both roleplaying and immersion, a new species, and tons of additional content, all of which is 100% lore-friendly. It also expands the difficulty significantly, with more complex weapon and upgrade interactions, more powerful enemy ship types, and a throng of challenging new events with a variety of outcomes, both good and bad. Empty beacons, previously a waste of time, can now be used to socialize with the crew for lore, character background, and (occasionally) various special events; or you can use those beacons to manufacture resources and upgrades...provided you have the right augments and enough scrap, of course. All in all, the mod provides a much deeper, and harder, game for FTL veterans and enthusiasts...or for players just looking for a better challenge.
There are a handful of submods that add various features or gameplay modifications, most prominently ''Endless Loot'' which adds modifiers to all weapons, drones, and enemy ships that can have both positive or negative effects, greatly increasing equipment variety; and ''CE: Infinite'', a port of the popular ''Infinite Space'' mod compatible with CE that turns the game into a sort of EndlessGame.
----
!!''CE'' contains examples of:
* AwesomeButImpractical: Artillery, new to the mod, is almost a checklist of this. Like the Federation cruiser from the base game, every ship type has a unique artillery, resulting in things like Rock ships igniting enemies with giant waves of fire, or Slug ships permanently [[MindRape Mind Raping]] enemy crew...but they have a laundry list of drawbacks: immense cost, both up-front and in upgrades, long charge times unless upgraded, limited scope (both of the above examples are ''worthless'' against AI ships, for example), and the fact that they take up a system slot that could be dedicated to a cheaper, more versatile system. There's also currently a GameBreakingBug where buying artillery will break your save, requiring either finishing the run in one go, or else using a secondary mod to temporarily fix it.
* BoringButPractical: Trading. It's the antithesis of flash; you pay scrap up front (or commit piracy, but that has severe penalties if you're not a pirate race) for boring supplies that take up an augment slot and do nothing useful. Thanks to supply-and-demand, selling them at the next available opportunity will typically net subpar profits, as well. However, if you're patient, you can easily wrack up 200-300 scrap for almost no effort, which can be a ''godsend'' on the harder difficulties.
* CycleOfHurting: Possible even moreso here than the home game, thanks to the generally higher difficulty. You can spend a lot of time limping from fight to fight, barely scraping by, spending supplies on repairs only to be eventually killed by sheer attrition. Finding ways to overcome or avoid scenarios like this is a key element to the difficulty.
* MacrossMissileMassacre: Some of the new weapon types thrive on this, firing large clusters of weak missiles. In gameplay terms, they're a single projectile that consumes a single missile and has very high accuracy, but deals low damage.
* HarderThanHard: ''CE'' is already a step above normal ''FTL'', so Hard difficulty is definitely this. Regardless of ship, it's a major struggle to get even the basic resources to upgrade your ship while repair the significant damage and supplies you'll be burning just to stay alive.
* SurprisePregnancy: One positive event when socializing with Mantis crewmember has them suddenly reveal to be pregnant and going into labor, before giving birth to a [[BizarreAlienBiology full-grown Mantis ready to serve]].
* UnusableEnemyEquipment: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] as a noteworthy aspect of the mod; all the tricks and toys the AI got to use in the original game appear here in some usable form. (For example, the Slug ship's tendency to drain power from systems without hacking is represented by an active augment that costs power to do the same to a system of your choice.

Empty beacons, previously a waste of time, can now be used to socialize with the crew for lore, character background, and (occasionally) various special events; or you can use those beacons to manufacture resources and upgrades...provided you have the right augments and enough scrap, of course. All in all, the mod provides a much deeper, and harder, game for FTL veterans and enthusiasts...or for players just looking for a better challenge.
There are a handful of submods that add various features or gameplay modifications, most prominently ''Endless Loot'' which adds modifiers to all weapons, drones, and enemy ships that can have both positive or negative effects, greatly increasing equipment variety; and ''CE: Infinite'', a port of the popular ''Infinite Space'' mod compatible with CE that turns the game into a sort of EndlessGame.

!!''CE'' contains examples of:
* AwesomeButImpractical: Artillery, new to the mod, is almost a checklist of this. Like the Federation cruiser from the base game, every ship type has a unique artillery, resulting in things like Rock ships igniting enemies with giant waves of fire, or Slug ships permanently [[MindRape Mind Raping]] enemy crew...but they have a laundry list of drawbacks: immense cost, both up-front and in upgrades, long charge times unless upgraded, limited scope (both of the above examples are ''worthless'' against AI ships, for example), and the fact that they take up a system slot that could be dedicated to a cheaper, more versatile system. There's also currently a GameBreakingBug where buying artillery will break your save, requiring either finishing the run in one go, or else using a secondary mod to temporarily fix it.
* BoringButPractical: Trading. It's the antithesis of flash; you pay scrap up front (or commit piracy, but that has severe penalties if you're not a pirate race) for boring supplies that take up an augment slot and do nothing useful. Thanks to supply-and-demand, selling them at the next available opportunity will typically net subpar profits, as well. However, if you're patient, you can easily wrack up 200-300 scrap for almost no effort, which can be a ''godsend'' on the harder difficulties.
* CycleOfHurting: Possible even moreso here than the home game, thanks to the generally higher difficulty. You can spend a lot of time limping from fight to fight, barely scraping by, spending supplies on repairs only to be eventually killed by sheer attrition. Finding ways to overcome or avoid scenarios like this is a key element to the difficulty.
* MacrossMissileMassacre: Some of the new weapon types thrive on this, firing large clusters of weak missiles. In gameplay terms, they're a single projectile that consumes a single missile and has very high accuracy, but deals low damage.
* HarderThanHard: ''CE'' is already a step above normal ''FTL'', so Hard difficulty is definitely this. Regardless of ship, it's a major struggle to get even the basic resources to upgrade your ship while repair the significant damage and supplies you'll be burning just to stay alive.
* SurprisePregnancy: One positive event when socializing with Mantis crewmember has them suddenly reveal to be pregnant and going into labor, before giving birth to a [[BizarreAlienBiology full-grown Mantis ready to serve]].
* UnusableEnemyEquipment: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] as a noteworthy aspect of the mod; all the tricks and toys the AI got to use in the original game appear here in some usable form. (For example, the Slug ship's tendency to drain power from systems without hacking is represented by an active augment that costs power to do the same to a system of your choice. Likewise, all of the Rebel Flagship's unique superweapons are available as Artillery for various ships, though you're still only allowed one, determined by your ship type.)
* WaveMotionGun: The new Naginata arguably counts, being the next step up from the Glaive beam. It still deals only 2 damage and has an even longer charge, but has almost ''double'' the length. The description states it can cut unprotected ships almost in half with a single sweep, and it's ''not'' joking; take the enemy's shields down and follow up with this, and the enemy WILL be crippled, if not killed outright. (It's drawbacks are the long charge time, huge power drain and, like all beam weapons, complete impotence against level 2 shields or higher without support.)
