Re ship tiers - I still play old version, and the torus is very solid there. Easy win on normal. Maybe that is why ppl rate it so high noe...fond memories.
I agree with Gustaran about article. Article's points would be very valid for Rogue Legacy. Not seeing the point for FTL and especially ToME which he mentions. Unlocks in ToME are partly to 'protect' new guys from too muny keypresses to learn early on. Unlocks aren't obviously better than basic options, just tend to be more complex/more keypresses/alternate ways to move/tougher starting dungeon and such. No chance ppl stay at the poor level because they waste time unlocking 'corruptor' class.
