I played on FTL13 once. And I loved it. Expect to see me a little less on LLJK1.
FTL13 highlighted some of the flaws of LLJK1, mainly being the fact that PvP is far more boring and less RP-able then PvE. In PvP you can still RP, yes, but you can't trust anyone, and there's never a clearly defined threat always looming. In PvE you can trust everyone you meet that is still a crewmember, and you always know when the ship enters combat, and there's always something to do.
Of course, the fact the FTL13 has a very unique spin on SS13 and applies it amazingly certainly helps. I've seen a few LLJK1 regulars on FTL13 and they were loving it. Burrito is even the wiki curator now.
Maybe LLJK1 needs a total rework? Something unique to give it more reason for others to play. The FTL style of stuff is a very good idea but may be hard to implement, and I can't really think of anything else that'd be a good fundamental game mechanic other than reworking antagonists or having storylines.
