11:08 I assume slugs are the first best because they cant be mind controlled?

It's mentioned in the beginning of the video that Engi sectors are average in terms of scrap, however this is incorrect. On average, Engi sector yeilds more scrap that any other sector because of the free equipment that you tend to get.

1st

9:01 Are you referring to the extended pursuit indicator changing the sector 8 overtaking? Or some other mod?

At 38:52 you mentioned a sector guide, is that the one on the wiki or something else? Also, what a run so far.

Hey that's a cool cat

51:57 Did not know you did ASMR

crow C FTL is so back

First! Im so glad to have found people like you and your viewers who understand just how great this game is

We stan Coco. We are dedicated to ensuring an adequate supply of skritches at all times.

I once devastated the flagship with fire bombs and no hacking on hard mode. Straight up threw one in the medbay in phase 2 while my other weapons hit the shields + mind control 3 to turn the pilot into a mass murderer. They were so preoccupied with the shields and the pilot they didn't put the fire out in the medbay, so they couldn't heal. I started setting fires everywhere until they had only 3 crew left for phase 3, at which point they sent one wave of guys at me and then their lone intern had to put out every fire himself while mind controlled, so the top half of the flagship was on fire, and the only thing that could hit me was the power surge. What a great game. The funniest shit about hard mode is the missile room and laser room are connected to the main body of the ship, which means fires can spread to them and from them, which I think gives fire bombs some nice value if you get a raging inferno going in their shield room.

points well spent

About the fire beam/bomb. I just had a streak where I played rock b to get the crystal ship and ancestry achievement (not in advanced edition) and let me tell you, when you get a teleporter and still have the fire bomb (or swapped it for a fire beam) you feel like a god. Oh, you have shields? Let me start a fire there and send my rocks in. Retreating to medbay? Well looks like your shields burned up and my fire beam just went off cooldown, Good luck ;). And on the flagship, your rocks can last long enough in medbay for it to fully burn. And by that point most of them will be low enough health to not be able to put out the fire. So from there you can just kill off all but one of the crew. And have an easier fight. Although I haven’t been able to do it on hard mode/AE so it’s most likely different their.

Thanks for the video Chris! Overall I feel a bit sad about what has happened to the paladin, one of my fav classes (smite nova was cool)

Your channel is such a great resource, it's so nice to have so much good info consolidated here. Thank you for your work!

You played that sector 4 super well, I learned a lot about boarding in hazard events.

what is the difference between the missles? are they not all the same?

that was fast! nice done

nh but seems like a mistake from the game

How did you get your hacking on at 3.18.01?? Did you cheat or TRICK? Weird that it was not shoot down??? I don´t get it?

wwow nice

wow nice weapons at the end...

Stealth B is very funny when you get pre-igniter and flak I in the first sector (just happened to me), I didn't even had to power shields until the flagship

The one thing that's kinda neat about the backup battery charger is the timing perfectly aligns with cloaking cooldown. If you activate battery and L3 cloak at the same time, and use the backup bars on the cloaking system with the battery augment, the battery will come back online a little before the cloaking does. It's absolutely not worth 40 scrap, but it is incredibly convenient.

Might be a weird question but- do you use a trackball mouse? The mouse movement seems slightly different from "normal" (it's something I noticed when I switched myself!)

what is this rng how are these all weapon drops in the first sector all after eachother like unbelievable

I saw this video on thumbnail, and I was totally confused by how Engi A is the best ship in the game until. I remembered Engi C looks just like Engi A and is freaking amazing. Somehow, I blanked that the ship existed. But it was a good 20 seconds of confusion.

nh

great game, i think Weapon pre ignieter is the best of all the stuff

How do you avoid being hit by missles?

Music too loud😢

I try to avoid stores until I get at least t2 shields, and have some amount of scrap in the bank. What's the use if I find something I want and can't afford it? Sometimes refueling + repairing has to wait if I see a LRS early in the run though. Def1 drones are something I splurge on too. Maybe I'm doing the calculations wrong, but repairing the ship over and over again starts to get expensive. Other things I splurge on: burst2 and flacks. I often regret my decision either way sacrificing too much for these, or failing to find good weapons for the second half of the game. Am I wrong in thinking that getting hit once or twice more per fight due to putting off shields already makes scrap recovery arm fail at it's job? I get it later in the game when scraps start to scale up to 60~80 and 15% is +10 scrap, but even then 1 hp is worth 2~4$ so deploying a single def1 drone might already outpace sra. This only gets better since coming across an attack drone more or less is -1 shields for the enemy in those tough fights, but aren't necessary in most cases so the few spare free drone parts tend to be enough without spending more?

Early Engi? Ooo I can put someone in the doors room and save myself an upgrade. Didn't realise the scrap reward was high from those ships

After 800 or so hours my biggest tip is to extract the game data files, open the folder in VS Code, and CTRL+F when i forget how an event can play out

Thanks for making this! Very helpful to have the new formula in mind as I'm practicing the format.

Sector 1 ships can have Zoltan shields on normal difficulty

"Take note Barb". Holy shit lol

What do you use to speed up the game for training?

tldr: people forget about opportunity cost

I think an extremely important general idea is missed here is that the systems (especially the most important: shields, engines, weapons, cloaking and hacking) are much more important than any augmentation. For example, there are insanely rare situations when you completely have to sell zoltan shield and buy cloaking (if you have troubles with scrap)

HM. at the first shop, with the hull beam and charge ion... why the decision not to swap into ion / hull beam? burst laser seems like an inferior companion to the hull beam regardless of how good it is in a vacuum

I don't get why you'd put off access to information on every path you're connected to from start to finish just to have shields one fight early on a ship that probably was going to do 1 damage to you anyway, also saying you prioritize shops instead of collecting scrap... but you need scrap to use the shops?

Once you have all your ship systems wouldn't you want to still visit stores for augments ?

Wow lots of good information here. One thing I like to do for safe fights like at 28:00 is unpower weapons and train the shield guy if I have one.

Some important considerations for the crystal sector: You lose all the remaining jumps in your current sector, which sucks if you find this early, AND you dont get to choose what the next sector you jump into is going to be, when you leave crystal, because cyrstal isnt on the map. Im not sure how the game loads you back into the map, haven't gone to crystal yet, but given how so many other things are coded I would imagine there's some kind of priority position that always gets selected first, out of the list of "sector X" possibilities.

I had the best run ever as Engi B - I unlocked Rock A, Stealth A, Federation A, Engi C and Lanius A in one run, only because I got Pre-Igniter, 3x Flak I, Mind Control and Defense I drone.

24:42 ooooo free weapon button working overtime

Free weapon button is great

Great video! this helped me complete my first Mv true victory in a ship that had no right surviving 3 obelisk sectors. Since i had no what a true victory even is before getting it

Ever wondered why Rebels can't complete their 2nd Flagship? That is why! Few more WRs and we will be playing as Rebels trying to collect enough scrap to build at least one Flagship.
