Hey there Sullla, this is mzhao1992 from your stream. That ship took me the longest to beat hard mode on by far in terms of restarts, and I'm not keen on trying it out again.Įdit: also, there isn't a link to the tier list on your main FTL page

Beyond the luck factors you mentioned, what really kills the ship for me are the atrociously high scrap requirements: 125 for shields, 50 to upgrade to level 2 shields, 50 to upgrade cloaking to level 3, ~120 to upgrade weapons for any two power weapon, or 80 for hacking to drop the shields for the glaive beam, and that's not even counting reactor and engine upgrades. The one place where I really disagree with you is on Stealth B personally, I think it's the worst in the game by far.

Similarly, for Kestrel C, I think the weapons are a solid enough bonus to keep it in the average tier, although I can understand that it was already pretty crowded. I don't get your hate for Rock B you can run a gunship setup on it just fine without having to use a teleporter, which means that you can sell the fire bomb for a cool extra scrap bonus. I think Stealth A would be better placed there, since having long range scanners and upgraded engines more then compensates for the similar scrap deficit spent on shields in my opinion. I'd put Zoltan B a tier down, because the 100 scrap payment on the first shield level can be quite crippling for many runs, since that's 100 scrap not being spent on engines, weapons, or further shield upgrades, plus the weapon setup is unreliable later on. Four crew and the crystal weapons is a killer combination. Given how strong Crystal A is, I'd put it one tier up. You list the Crystal B as having an early advantage in boarding compared to the Mantis B, but I disagree Mantis B having a built in option to kill auto scouts in the first sectors (boarding drone) makes it equal, if not stronger, than the Crystal B very early on. Enjoy.įor all of the slug ships, I would put their upgraded doors as a significant advantage. Or maybe not - that would also make for a fun discussion too. Obviously we won't share identical rankings, but I'm hoping that there's a general consensus on what's high tier, low tier, that sort of thing. I'm curious to hear other opinions on where all of you would put your personal rankings.


As a discussion point, I wrote up my own version of an FTL Tier List for the different ships in the game. (May 18th, 2015, 18:27)Sullla Wrote: This thread has been awful quiet for a while now.
