Just unlocked the Zoltan C the other day.
man, if you can get teleporter on that thing... Quad Zoltan suicide bombers
Though my favorite would have to be Fire Beam, of course with manned or upgraded shelters.

Re: Share your naming shenanigans
I never rename stuff.
The ships, no particular reason, I just like keeping them the default names.
As for crew: naming them manually ruins the inevitable chuckles when you're given an ELNUBNUB.

Re: Crew members are there correct locations?
I just put the first guy in the list on piloting, unless I have a good reason not to (e.g. he's a zoltan, or my only engi onboard, etc) I normally put an Engi on weapons. Hit to weapons, engi's already there. But also, it can stand being unmanned temporarily if I want to move the engi to repair some...

Re: Why do people enjoy this game?
Yes but the unavoidable disasters do not translate to 1% defeats by any stretch of the imagination. More like 50%-75% depending on the session. Anyone who claims 99% wins in FTL is an internet fibber. One good example are the dead ends, which sometimes make absolutely no sense at all. If you`re for...

Re: boss drones
Keep in mind also that the drone selection is random every time in a power surge—so it might seem way worse some times. In one game I had 2 drone surges in a row be all beam drones except for 1 attack drone... 8-) luckiest power surges ever... Actually it's random what the boss has in the surge, bu...

Re: Beam Weapons (Fire Beam)
Definitely the most fun weapon in the game, IMO. lvl2 sensors essential, though.
Most effective, perhaps not, especially without a good way to knock out shields (or an alternate attack strategy, for certain rock-manned ships or AI scouts)

Re: How does a maxed Engine perform vs a maxed Shield system
I've only once gone to quad-shields (on noether in the last sector, because I had just a ton of spare scrap) Triple-level, always. It's been said before, this is enough to hold off most enemies from beaming. Seems to me like if they're powerful enough to reliably get through 3 shields, 4 shields wou...

Re: Best Weapon Combos
My most comfortable flagship victory was 2 ion blasts, an ion bomb, and a pike beam. So that's enough ion damage to take out the shields in one volley, and for long enough to do 2 pike shots... also there's an awesome not obvious (only hits a couple rooms by like 2 pixels) pike line that can hit pil...
