==Enemy Ship General Info== |
==Enemy Ship General Info== |
||
+ | Enemy ships become more powerful with each new sector, but each type of ship is limited in the systems, weapons, drones, and crew it can have. For example, an [[Races/Engi|Engi]] ship will never have offensive drones. |
||
− | Enemy ships can have [[Systems]] that exceed 8, which is the limit for players. Most commonly, this is seen late game with ships having been seen with 10 in [[Shields]] or [[Weapons]]. Typically, it's the larger more powerful ships that will go beyond 8 limit. No other system exceeds the 8 limit, though it should be noted that the Rebel Flagship uses special versions of [[Drones]] that cost less energy, giving it the ability to use what seems to be more than 8 in [[Drone Control]]. |
||
+ | In later sectors, it is possible for some ships to have 9 or 10 levels in shields or weapons, which is more than the player can obtain. However, such enemies are rare. |
||
− | Pirate ships can have a few differences from their counterparts. In addition to the paint job, a few exceptions allow some ships will have different layouts and new [[Systems]] installed. In addition, Pirates will always have the same amount of crew but of various [[races]] (excluding [[Crystal]], though [[Lanius]] Pirates may appear in the [[Sector#Abandoned Sector|Abandoned Sector]]). |
||
+ | Pirate ships can have a few differences from their counterparts. In addition to having an edited sprite, some have different layouts and new [[Systems]] installed. Pirate crews are randomly chosen from the races that can be encountered in that sector; for example, a pirate Rock ship in a Civilian Sector might be crewed by Humans, Rockmen, Engi, Mantis, or Zoltan, but never by Slugs, Crystals, or Lanius. |
||
− | Enemy ships usually have about 10 [[Missiles]] and 4 [[Drones]] stocked, but this can vary. |

==Crystal Ships== |
||
+ | Crystal ships are only fought in the secret Crystal Homeworlds sector. They only use crystal weapons and the Crystal Lockdown bomb. |
||
− | Crystal ships use crystal weapons and the lockdown bombs, drones, and on a rare occasion, they can exceed the 8 limit. They come in two sizes, Scouts and Bombers, with the Advanced Edition Content adding two additional loadouts, Outriders and Instigators. Be wary of boarding; the enemy Crystal crew will use their Lockdown power on your crew. |

==Engi Ships== |
||
+ | Engi ships always have a [[Drone Control]] system, but will only field defensive drones. They also have the [[Augmentations#Engi Med-Bot Dispersal|Engi Med-bot Dispersal]] augment, but it only functions when they have a [[Medbay]]. Their ships appear in two sizes and are never fielded by pirates. |
||
− | Engi Ships are easily distinguishable with their trademark gray hull and squarish design (see below). A Drone system is always present on Engi ships accompanied with at least one active Defense Drone. If a MedBay is present in the ship, the ship will also have an active Engi Medbot Dispersal system, which allows the Engi to take extra beatings during an assault. |

− | + | Lanius ships are difficult to board since they have no [[Oxygen]]. They have the [[Augmentations#Emergency Respirators|Emergency Respirators]] augment, but it does nothing. Their compact layouts make them more vulnerable to flak and beam weapons. |
|
+ | |||
+ | Late-game Abandoned sectors can be extremely dangerous. Lanius Bombers appear as early as sector 4, and can have cloaking, teleporter, and mind control. Upgrading oxygen can help defend against Lanius boarders. |

− | Mantis warships are coated (appropriately) in a red hull, and are very symmetrical in room layout. Mantis ships typically carry heavy weapons as well as a crew teleporter (even in pirated Mantis ships). Unlike other ships, Mantis ships are typically not homogenous, often carrying Engi slaves to make up for the Mantis' lack of repairing skill. Rockmen are a less common sight on these ships and Zoltan and Slugs very rarely appear. Humans are aboard mantis ships when they are pirated. |
||
+ | Mantis ships often have weaker weapons and defenses than other ships, and (perhaps surprisingly) they can be easy targets for killing enemy crew. They never get cloaking, hacking, mind control, or drones. They are also the only race whose non-pirated ships may field two different races. |

||
− | + | Ordinary rebel ships are only crewed by humans. This is not true for pirated ships, which can have other races. |

− | blueprint: LONG_ELITE_MED, LONG_ELITE_HARD, REBEL_SKINNY_ELITE |
||
+ | You will encounter Elite Fighters if the rebel fleet overtakes you; these battles only ever reward 1 fuel, and are best avoided unless you are well prepared to run (typically with high-level engines or cloaking). You can also fight these Rebel Elites in sector 8. Rebel Elites may have level 10 Weapons. |
||
− | You will encounter this ship if the rebel fleet catches up with you, or at the last sector, The Last Stand, where you will commonly fight these at different beacons. It is recommended to stay away from the rebel fleet in the early stages until you manage to upgrade things like your shields, engines and such. Except for encounters with these ships in The Last Stand, it is generally best to jump away once your FTL is charged, as the pursuing rebel ships provide no reward other than one fuel. Note: Elite Rebel fighters can have TEN in weapon levels. |

− | These ships typically use Basic Lasers, Burst Laser Mk 1, and Small Bomb in earlier sectors, with Heavy Lasers also commonly used but initially depowered. In later stages these can become quite a threat with Burst Laser II and sometimes even Burst Laser III, Heavy Laser II, and breach Missiles. In sectors 5 and up crew teleporters are common but luckily the rebel ships always have a crew of only humans. Even if the ship has a medbay it can be defeated with a 4 size teleporter and at least 3 mantis for boarding with one other crew member. |

||
− | blueprint: DEFAULT, REBEL_FAT, REBEL_TRANSPORT |
||
− | Rebel Riggers often use drones, countering missiles and often ships without combat specialists as they send in boarding drones. Rebel Riggers are usually encountered trying to jump away for some reason so target the cockpit and drone control before moving on to the weapons after shields are down. System Repair Drones are almost always aboard these ships after sector 4. Beam weapons are often encountered on these ships and it is not uncommon for a Rebel Rigger to have one Beam Drone and a Mini Beam with no shield damaging weapons. |
||
+ | === Elite Fighter === |
||
− | They can have up to at least 4 Drones, some time they "overcrowd" the drone control room and, as a result, make repair impossible after it's shut down. |

− | == |
+ | ==AI-Controlled Rebel Ships== |
+ | Automated ships are unmanned ships. They have no [[oxygen]], and they automatically repair systems over time (at 1/3 the speed of a human). They cannot repair hull breaches, and as a consequence can never repair a breached system. Fire also resets their repair progress (unlike other ships, where fire only blocks repair). |
||
− | {{Main|The Rebel Flagship}} |
||
− | The Rebel Flagship is the final ship you can encounter in a play through of Faster Than Light. This ship is also most likely the hardest ship you will encounter in Faster Than Light. It has three forms, each one meant to be harder than the last. It has 4 layers of shields, high dodge rate, and an individual room for each type of weapon (ion, missile, burst laser and beam) which is separate from the other rooms and can be destroyed. However, there is a crew member in each of these and thus they will be repaired. In its first form, it can cloak itself (loses for 2nd stage), in the second form it has drones (loses these for 3rd stage), and finally in its third form it has a Zoltan shield, it uses its teleporter and shoots between 5 and 10 lasers from apparently nowhere. Upon winning a section from it, a bit of it will be broken off from the ship, starting from the left, then the right and finally the ship is destroyed and you win the game. If you kill all its crew, you will get a message that a powerful AI controls it now. That's bad news: it will now automatically repair systems (rooms with breaches will be not repaired when the AI takes control, so if you use breach bombs in this encounter, the AI taking control may be good news). |
||
+ | Despite having no crew, automated ships get manning bonuses for all their systems. These are removed if the system is damaged, breached, or on fire. Unlike crewed ships, the manning bonus is not removed by hacking. |
||
− | In easy and normal difficulties (in standard FTL), the heavy laser and missile turrets will be separated from the main body of the flagship; in hard difficulty in Advanced Edition, they will be joined. This makes destroying the systems much more difficult as additional crew can enter to repair them. Also, on easy, though the stations are manned the weapon charge time does not decrease accordingly. |
||
+ | Because automated ships belong to the Rebels, they may double the fleet pursuit if they escape before you jump in certain events. |
||
+ | Be careful [[boarding]] automated ships, since you need at least a level 2 [[teleporter]] to be able to teleport 100-health crew members back before they suffocate. [[Races/Crew Members#Rockmen|Rock]] and [[Races/Crew Members#Crystal|Crystal]] crew can survive even with level 1 teleporter. With a level 3 teleporter you can board even with [[Zoltan]] members. [[Lanius]] can board these ships without a problem because they don't need oxygen. The Emergency Respirators augment will also give you time to board and retrieve any crew before they die with even a Level 1 Teleporter, due to the halved oxygen damage. |
||
− | It helps greatly to have at least the following: |
||
+ | ---- |
||
− | *Cloaking |
||
− | *Teleporter |
||
− | *Lvl. 6+ Weapons with at least 6 or 7 laser bolts or a Mk. 2 Ion blast, Pegasus Missiles could help a lot |
||
− | *Defense Drone Mk. 1 (practically better than Mk. 2) |
||
− | *3 or 4 layers of shields |
||
− | *Lvl. 6+ engine |
||
− | You should first kill the human in the missile weapon (the second weapons room from the right) and destroy it with your teleporter. Next, you can do the same for the pointless and weak beam, the laser, or the ion, however it is not required. Do this in all stages, as 1. it is the easiest way to destroy it and 2. the five missiles can easily get past even a Mk. 2 defense drone. Next, just destroy its shields (Mk. 2 Ion blast can remove all layers if set to autofire, assuming it doesn't miss, and it does not cloak before you can permanently disable it's shields) and cloaking, and try to kill some crew while you're at it. Often, they will all go to fix the shields so just wait until there are 2-4 people and launch a barrage at them. |

||
− | '''Strategy:''' It helps if you view this battle not just as a battle you must win at all cost; but as a preparation step for the next two battles. Although all systems will be repaired between fights, dead crew will remain dead. Killing all of the crew results in the ship's advanced AI taking over and all systems begin to auto-repair. Be aware that it loses the turret and cloak on the left after the first fight and the turret on the right and drone control after the second fight. This is the only phase where it has each of the triple-turrets. You need 3 shield, at least 30% evasion (estimation) to not die quickly. Defense drones and cloak can help negate damage too. |
||
+ | blueprint: AUTO_BASIC_DLC |
||
+ | Hull Strength: 5-13 |
||
− | Another useful strategy if you have a teleporter is to send crew members, either two humans or one rock or one mantis generally works, in each of the offensive turrets, killing the crew and destroying the weapon. If you keep all your defensive abilities fully powered during this time, you can avoid most of the incoming damage, and once they are destroyed, it will have no way of damaging your ship (for the first stage), which means you can destroy it without having to worry about its weapons. |
||
+ | Systems |
||
− | Alternatively, you should destroy all the weapons except for the laser and then kill all the crew in the rest of the ship. Fire bombs are very helpful here. This will make the other stages much easier because the laser crew cannot get to the rest of the ship, meaning you can easily board it and destroy everything. However, you have to leave at least one crew alive for this strategy or else the AI will take over. |

− | If you emerged victorious from your first battle, the section furthest to the left breaks off, taking away its ability to cloak, its ion weapon, the door system, and up to three crew members. |

+ | Systems |

− | '''Special Attack: '''The special attack of the second stage consist of a large squadron of anti-ship drones (around 5-10, mostly beam drones). This special attack can be very destructive if they get through your shields. |

||
+ | ---- |
||
+ | ==== Auto-Hacker ==== |
||
− | '''Special Defense:''' The boss has a defense drone deployed during this stage, rendering missiles practically useless (except Pegasus missiles that fires 2 projectiles, or if you have multiple missile systems and you sync up their shots) |
||
+ | blueprint: AUTO_ASSAULT_DLC |
||
+ | Hull Strength: 7-15 |
||
− | '''Strategy:''' Despite the weaker special attack, this is not an easy stage, however. The defense drone and boarding drone can make life quite hard. Especially since killing the boarding drone, just makes him fire a new one almost immediately (probably causing a new breach too). There are three ways of '''dealing with the boarding drone:''' |
||
− | |||
− | *Shooting it down with a defense drone |
||
− | |||
− | *Having improved blast doors and ignore it until it enters an important room |
||
− | |||
− | *Damage the drone facility enough so that it stops moving |
||
− | The power surge with all the drones can be devastating if you aren't careful. The Anti-ship drones will all fire at once, and can fairly easily get through your shields if you don't evade enough of the shots. If your shields drop to zero even for a fraction of a second, you may get hit by a lot of beam drones all at once. This can be catastrophic. One easy way to protect yourself from this is to activate your cloak with only one power bar. The cloak will wear off shortly before the drones go away (likely not leaving them enough time to hurt you) and will cool down just in time for you to cloak again for the next power surge. If you use 2 or 3 power bars on the cloak, it will not finish its cool down in time. This does not work with the laser burst power surge in the third stage, as the surges come too often to cloak for all of them. |
||
− | |||
− | ====Stage 3==== |
||
− | '''Special Attack:''' The special attack of the third stage consists of a burst of laser-like attacks, about 8-9 shots that arrive almost simultaneously, they look like heavy laser blasts but do only 1 damage if get beyond your shields and hit, a well timed use of cloaking is the best way to minimize damage, or highly powered engines, shields, and 1-2 defense drone mark II (this latter is quite intensive on power requirement, but if you are in a bind this way can negate most of the damage if not all). |
||
− | |||
− | '''Special Defense: '''A Zoltan shield that takes 12 damage. Sometimes if its Zoltan shield is down, after a power surge it does not use its special attack but recharges it's Zoltan shields to full. Restoring its Zoltan shields will destroy all boarding drones (unpowered boarding drones may be unaffected), however boarding parties are unaffected, aside from the fact of you not being able teleport them out. |
||
− | |||
− | '''Strategy: '''The third stage, the attacks of the rebel ship are the strongest. Where the previous rounds a defensive strategy may have worked, the best way to deal with this stage is to deal as much damage as quickly as possible. The AI usually uses its teleporter to board you straight away, so be prepared to deal with that before you start the third stage fight (they are human boarders, and arrive only 2 at a time, so if you have trained boarders you should either wait with them on your own ship to catch the enemy boarders, or board their ship before they can do yours, and take out their teleporter, or sometimes they don't even board you if you've already boarded them). |
||
− | |||
− | If you have taken out all crew in the second stage of the flagship fight, then the ship will not board you. However, the AI that takes over can make the rest of the third phase more dangerous. It is best to leave only several crew alive following the second encounter (preferably you should kill most of them off in the first phase and let the rest die as the flagship loses hull pieces). If the crew are in sealed-off rooms or a critical system (i.e. engines or shields) goes down, boarding will still be disabled. To execute the latter strategy a weapon pre-igniter is absolutely required; damaging either of the aforementioned systems will cause crew to divert for repair. |
||
− | |||
− | ==AI-Controlled Rebel Ships== |
||
− | Automated ships are unmanned ships. This means that they automatically repair systems over time and have no [[oxygen]] on board, do note that rooms with hull breaches will not be repaired as putting out fires/repairing hull breaches is a higher repair priority than repairing the subsystem, and the AI ships have no way of repairing said breaches. |
||
− | |||
− | Be careful if you're using [[boarding]] as a way of taking out some initial [[systems]] (e.g. [[Shields]]), since you will need an at least level 2 [[teleporter]] to be able to teleport 100 health crew members back before suffocating . [[Races/Crew Members#Rockmen|Rock]] and [[Races/Crew Members#Crystal|Crystal]] members can last a little longer due to their higher health and respective abilities, thus with these the boarding is survivable even with level 1 teleporter. With a level 3 teleporter you can board even with [[Zoltan]] members if you have no other race. Lanius members, of course, can board these ships without a problem because they don't need oxygen. |

==Slug Ships== |
==Slug Ships== |
||
+ | Slug ships tend to have higher-than-average defences, and Slug crew are immune to mind control. All Slug ships automatically repair hull breaches, because they have the Slug Repair Gel augment. |
||
+ | |||
+ | The larger ships can be difficult to board, since they often have a large number of crew and blast doors. In Slug-controlled sectors, there are several events where a Slug enemy will disrupt one of your systems. |
||
+ | |||
+ | The smallest Slug ships are popularly known as ''flying coffins'', due to their isolated oxygen room. Destroying their oxygen will (eventually) result in a crew kill. |
||
+ | |||
+ | Some large Slug ships can have level ten weapons or shields (possibly both). Captain Nights' cruiser, the ''Black Raven'', is always a Slug Assault/Instigator class. |
||
+ | |||
+ | Although late-game Slug ships can be tough, a Slug sector 4 can be easy and profitable, with lots of flying coffins. |

− | ===Slug Light-Cruiser / Light-Surveyor=== |
||
− | blueprint: JELLY_CROISSANTSlug Light-Cruisers are effective ships that are most commonly found in, naturally, Slug sectors. The Slugs are a treacherous race, so one of your systems (usually Oxygen, Doors, or Shields) will be weakened or destroyed about 50% of the time. Encountering these ships in Plasma Storms is possible, so prepare to divert power. Fire Beams, Breach Bombs, and Burst Lasers are commonly used by these ships. Counter with boarders and fire weapons of your own. They can have up to five layers of shields. |

− | Strategy: Beam drones cut through the overshield in a jiffy, and don't miss at the same time. Most beams (even fire or anti-bio beams) hit the shield twice when firing. Once the Zoltan Shield is down, a boarding party will easily get rid of the enemy Zoltan crew members. (provided the medbay/clonebay on the enemy ship is down) Another strategy is to get ion weapons since they do double the effect on the Zoltan Shield. The Ion Blast Mk II alone will take the Zoltan Shield down in 12 seconds provided it does not miss. Ion bombs deal 8 damage to the shield and take it down immediately. |

||
+ | The Rebel Flagship is the final ship you can encounter in a play through of Faster Than Light. This ship is also most likely the hardest ship you will encounter in Faster Than Light. It has three forms, each one meant to be harder than the last. It has 3 layers of shields ()4 layers of shields on AE), high dodge rate, and an individual room for each type of weapon (ion, missile, burst laser and beam) which is separate from the other rooms and can be destroyed. However, there is a crew member in each of these and thus they will be repaired. In its first form, it can cloak itself (loses for 2nd stage), in the second form it has drones (loses these for 3rd stage), and finally in its third form it has a Zoltan shield, it uses its teleporter and shoots between 5 and 10 lasers from apparently nowhere. Upon winning a section from it, a bit of it will be broken off from the ship, starting from the left, then the right and finally the ship is destroyed and you win the game. If you kill all its crew, you will get a message that a powerful AI controls it now. That's bad news: it will now automatically repair systems (rooms with breaches will be not repaired when the AI takes control, so if you use breach bombs in this encounter, the AI taking control may be good news). |
||
+ | |||
+ | In easy and normal difficulties (in standard FTL), the heavy laser and missile turrets will be separated from the main body of the flagship; in hard difficulty in Advanced Edition, they will be joined. This makes destroying the systems much more difficult as additional crew can enter to repair them. Also, on easy, though the stations are manned the weapon charge time does not decrease accordingly. |
||
+ | |||
+ | It helps greatly to have at least the following: |
||
+ | *Cloaking |
||
+ | *Teleporter |
||
+ | *Lvl. 6+ Weapons with at least 6 or 7 laser bolts or a Mk. 2 Ion blast, Pegasus Missiles could help a lot |
||
+ | *Defense Drone Mk. 1 (practically better than Mk. 2) |
||
+ | *3 or 4 layers of shields |
||
+ | *Lvl. 6+ engine |
||
+ | You should first kill the human in the missile weapon (the second weapons room from the right) and destroy it with your teleporter. Next, you can do the same for the pointless and weak beam, the laser, or the ion, however it is not required. Do this in all stages, as 1. it is the easiest way to destroy it and 2. the five missiles can easily get past even a Mk. 2 defense drone. Next, just destroy its shields (Mk. 2 Ion blast can remove all layers if set to autofire, assuming it doesn't miss, and it does not cloak before you can permanently disable it's shields) and cloaking, and try to kill some crew while you're at it. Often, they will all go to fix the shields so just wait until there are 2-4 people and launch a barrage at them. |
||
+ | |||
+ | [[File:Final_boss1.jpg|thumb|The Final Boss 1st stage]] |
||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Stage 1 ==== |
||
+ | '''Special Attack:''' None |
||
+ | |||
+ | '''Special Defense:''' The rebel flagship has quite a long lasting cloak. This can make the fight difficult, because it allows it to repair, heal, recharge. It has quite a big crew too, so this can cause some problems getting through. |
||
+ | |||
+ | '''Strategy:''' It helps if you view this battle not just as a battle you must win at all cost; but as a preparation step for the next two battles. Although all systems will be repaired between fights, dead crew will remain dead. Killing all of the crew results in the ship's advanced AI taking over and all systems begin to auto-repair. Be aware that it loses the turret and cloak on the left after the first fight and the turret on the right and drone control after the second fight. This is the only phase where it has each of the triple-turrets. You need 3 shield, at least 30% evasion (estimation) to not die quickly. Defense drones and cloak can help negate damage too. |
||
+ | |||
+ | Another useful strategy if you have a teleporter is to send crew members, either two humans or one rock or one mantis generally works, in each of the offensive turrets, killing the crew and destroying the weapon. If you keep all your defensive abilities fully powered during this time, you can avoid most of the incoming damage, and once they are destroyed, it will have no way of damaging your ship (for the first stage), which means you can destroy it without having to worry about its weapons. |
||
+ | |||
+ | Alternatively, you should destroy all the weapons except for the laser and then kill all the crew in the rest of the ship. Fire bombs are very helpful here. This will make the other stages much easier because the laser crew cannot get to the rest of the ship, meaning you can easily board it and destroy everything. However, you have to leave at least one crew alive for this strategy or else the AI will take over. |
||
+ | |||
+ | ====Stage 2==== |
||
+ | [[File:Flagship2ndForm.png|thumb|Second form of the Rebel Flagship]] |
||
+ | |||
+ | If you emerged victorious from your first battle, the section furthest to the left breaks off, taking away its ability to cloak, its ion weapon, the door system, and up to three crew members. |
||
+ | |||
+ | '''Special Attack: '''The special attack of the second stage consist of a large squadron of anti-ship drones (around 5-10, mostly beam drones). This special attack can be very destructive if they get through your shields. |
||
+ | |||
+ | '''Special Defense:''' The boss has a defense drone deployed during this stage, rendering missiles practically useless (except Pegasus missiles that fires 2 projectiles, or if you have multiple missile systems and you sync up their shots) |
||
+ | |||
+ | '''Strategy:''' Despite the weaker special attack, this is not an easy stage, however. The defense drone and boarding drone can make life quite hard. Especially since killing the boarding drone, just makes him fire a new one almost immediately (probably causing a new breach too). There are three ways of '''dealing with the boarding drone:''' |
||
+ | |||
+ | *Shooting it down with a defense drone |
||
+ | |||
+ | *Having improved blast doors and ignore it until it enters an important room |
||
+ | |||
+ | *Damage the drone facility enough so that it stops moving |
||
+ | The power surge with all the drones can be devastating if you aren't careful. The Anti-ship drones will all fire at once, and can fairly easily get through your shields if you don't evade enough of the shots. If your shields drop to zero even for a fraction of a second, you may get hit by a lot of beam drones all at once. This can be catastrophic. One easy way to protect yourself from this is to activate your cloak with only one power bar. The cloak will wear off shortly before the drones go away (likely not leaving them enough time to hurt you) and will cool down just in time for you to cloak again for the next power surge. If you use 2 or 3 power bars on the cloak, it will not finish its cool down in time. This does not work with the laser burst power surge in the third stage, as the surges come too often to cloak for all of them. |
||
+ | |||
+ | ====Stage 3==== |
||
+ | '''Special Attack:''' The special attack of the third stage consists of a burst of laser-like attacks, about 8-9 shots that arrive almost simultaneously, they look like heavy laser blasts but do only 1 damage if get beyond your shields and hit, a well timed use of cloaking is the best way to minimize damage, or highly powered engines, shields, and 1-2 defense drone mark II (this latter is quite intensive on power requirement, but if you are in a bind this way can negate most of the damage if not all). |
||
+ | |||
+ | '''Special Defense: '''A Zoltan shield that takes 12 damage. Sometimes if its Zoltan shield is down, after a power surge it does not use its special attack but recharges it's Zoltan shields to full. Restoring its Zoltan shields will destroy all boarding drones (unpowered boarding drones may be unaffected), however boarding parties are unaffected, aside from the fact of you not being able teleport them out. |
||
+ | |||
+ | '''Strategy: '''The third stage, the attacks of the rebel ship are the strongest. Where the previous rounds a defensive strategy may have worked, the best way to deal with this stage is to deal as much damage as quickly as possible. The AI usually uses its teleporter to board you straight away, so be prepared to deal with that before you start the third stage fight (they are human boarders, and arrive only 2 at a time, so if you have trained boarders you should either wait with them on your own ship to catch the enemy boarders, or board their ship before they can do yours, and take out their teleporter, or sometimes they don't even board you if you've already boarded them). |
||
+ | |||
+ | If you have taken out all crew in the second stage of the flagship fight, then the ship will not board you. However, the AI that takes over can make the rest of the third phase more dangerous. It is best to leave only several crew alive following the second encounter (preferably you should kill most of them off in the first phase and let the rest die as the flagship loses hull pieces). If the crew are in sealed-off rooms or a critical system (i.e. engines or shields) goes down, boarding will still be disabled. To execute the latter strategy a weapon pre-igniter is absolutely required; damaging either of the aforementioned systems will cause crew to divert for repair. |

Revision as of 16:18, 21 April 2021
Enemy Ship General Info
Enemy ships become more powerful with each new sector, but each type of ship is limited in the systems, weapons, drones, and crew it can have. For example, an Engi ship will never have offensive drones.
In later sectors, it is possible for some ships to have 9 or 10 levels in shields or weapons, which is more than the player can obtain. However, such enemies are rare.
Pirate ships can have a few differences from their counterparts. In addition to having an edited sprite, some have different layouts and new Systems installed. Pirate crews are randomly chosen from the races that can be encountered in that sector; for example, a pirate Rock ship in a Civilian Sector might be crewed by Humans, Rockmen, Engi, Mantis, or Zoltan, but never by Slugs, Crystals, or Lanius.
Enemy ships usually have about 10 Missiles and 4 Drones stocked, but this may vary.
Crystal Ships
Crystal ships are only fought in the secret Crystal Homeworlds sector. They only use crystal weapons and the Crystal Lockdown bomb.
They come in two sizes, Scouts and Bombers, with Advanced Edition adding two additional versions, Outriders and Instigators. Be wary of boarding or being boarded: enemy Crystal crew will use their Lockdown power against you.

Rebel Ships
Ordinary rebel ships are only crewed by humans. This is not true for pirated ships, which can have other races.
Rebel ships will often start the battle with their FTL charging, or attempt to run away after taking damage. In certain events, they will double the Rebel Fleet's pursuit if they successfully jump.
You will encounter Elite Fighters if the rebel fleet overtakes you; these battles only ever reward 1 fuel, and are best avoided unless you are well prepared to run (typically with high-level engines or cloaking). You can also fight these Rebel Elites in sector 8. Rebel Elites may have level 10 Weapons.

AI-Controlled Rebel Ships
Automated ships are unmanned ships. They have no oxygen, and they automatically repair systems over time (at 1/3 the speed of a human). They cannot repair hull breaches, and as a consequence can never repair a breached system. Fire also resets their repair progress (unlike other ships, where fire only blocks repair).
Despite having no crew, automated ships get manning bonuses for all their systems. These are removed if the system is damaged, breached, or on fire. Unlike crewed ships, the manning bonus is not removed by hacking. Because automated ships belong to the Rebels, they may double the fleet pursuit if they escape before you jump in certain events.
Be careful boarding automated ships, since you need at least a level 2 teleporter to be able to teleport 100-health crew members back before they suffocate. Rock and Crystal crew can survive even with level 1 teleporter. With a level 3 teleporter you can board even with Zoltan members. Lanius can board these ships without a problem because they don't need oxygen. The Emergency Respirators augment will also give you time to board and retrieve any crew before they die with even a Level 1 Teleporter, due to the halved oxygen damage.

Slug Ships
Slug ships tend to have higher-than-average defences, and Slug crew are immune to mind control. All Slug ships automatically repair hull breaches, because they have the Slug Repair Gel augment.
The larger ships can be difficult to board, since they often have a large number of crew and blast doors. In Slug-controlled sectors, there are several events where a Slug enemy will disrupt one of your systems.
The smallest Slug ships are popularly known as flying coffins, due to their isolated oxygen room. Destroying their oxygen will (eventually) result in a crew kill.
Some large Slug ships can have level ten weapons or shields (possibly both). Captain Nights' cruiser, the Black Raven, is always a Slug Assault/Instigator class.
Although late-game Slug ships can be tough, a Slug sector 4 can be easy and profitable, with lots of flying coffins.

The Rebel Flagship
- Main article: The Rebel Flagship
The Rebel Flagship is the final ship you can encounter in a play through of Faster Than Light. This ship is also most likely the hardest ship you will encounter in Faster Than Light. It has three forms, each one meant to be harder than the last. It has 3 layers of shields ()4 layers of shields on AE), high dodge rate, and an individual room for each type of weapon (ion, missile, burst laser and beam) which is separate from the other rooms and can be destroyed. However, there is a crew member in each of these and thus they will be repaired. In its first form, it can cloak itself (loses for 2nd stage), in the second form it has drones (loses these for 3rd stage), and finally in its third form it has a Zoltan shield, it uses its teleporter and shoots between 5 and 10 lasers from apparently nowhere. Upon winning a section from it, a bit of it will be broken off from the ship, starting from the left, then the right and finally the ship is destroyed and you win the game. If you kill all its crew, you will get a message that a powerful AI controls it now. That's bad news: it will now automatically repair systems (rooms with breaches will be not repaired when the AI takes control, so if you use breach bombs in this encounter, the AI taking control may be good news).
In easy and normal difficulties (in standard FTL), the heavy laser and missile turrets will be separated from the main body of the flagship; in hard difficulty in Advanced Edition, they will be joined. This makes destroying the systems much more difficult as additional crew can enter to repair them. Also, on easy, though the stations are manned the weapon charge time does not decrease accordingly.
It helps greatly to have at least the following:
- Cloaking
- Teleporter
- Lvl. 6+ Weapons with at least 6 or 7 laser bolts or a Mk. 2 Ion blast, Pegasus Missiles could help a lot
- Defense Drone Mk. 1 (practically better than Mk. 2)
- 3 or 4 layers of shields
- Lvl. 6+ engine
You should first kill the human in the missile weapon (the second weapons room from the right) and destroy it with your teleporter. Next, you can do the same for the pointless and weak beam, the laser, or the ion, however it is not required. Do this in all stages, as 1. it is the easiest way to destroy it and 2. the five missiles can easily get past even a Mk. 2 defense drone. Next, just destroy its shields (Mk. 2 Ion blast can remove all layers if set to autofire, assuming it doesn't miss, and it does not cloak before you can permanently disable it's shields) and cloaking, and try to kill some crew while you're at it. Often, they will all go to fix the shields so just wait until there are 2-4 people and launch a barrage at them.
Stage 1
Special Attack: None
Special Defense: The rebel flagship has quite a long lasting cloak. This can make the fight difficult, because it allows it to repair, heal, recharge. It has quite a big crew too, so this can cause some problems getting through.
Strategy: It helps if you view this battle not just as a battle you must win at all cost; but as a preparation step for the next two battles. Although all systems will be repaired between fights, dead crew will remain dead. Killing all of the crew results in the ship's advanced AI taking over and all systems begin to auto-repair. Be aware that it loses the turret and cloak on the left after the first fight and the turret on the right and drone control after the second fight. This is the only phase where it has each of the triple-turrets. You need 3 shield, at least 30% evasion (estimation) to not die quickly. Defense drones and cloak can help negate damage too.
Another useful strategy if you have a teleporter is to send crew members, either two humans or one rock or one mantis generally works, in each of the offensive turrets, killing the crew and destroying the weapon. If you keep all your defensive abilities fully powered during this time, you can avoid most of the incoming damage, and once they are destroyed, it will have no way of damaging your ship (for the first stage), which means you can destroy it without having to worry about its weapons.
Alternatively, you should destroy all the weapons except for the laser and then kill all the crew in the rest of the ship. Fire bombs are very helpful here. This will make the other stages much easier because the laser crew cannot get to the rest of the ship, meaning you can easily board it and destroy everything. However, you have to leave at least one crew alive for this strategy or else the AI will take over.
Stage 2
If you emerged victorious from your first battle, the section furthest to the left breaks off, taking away its ability to cloak, its ion weapon, the door system, and up to three crew members.
Special Attack: The special attack of the second stage consist of a large squadron of anti-ship drones (around 5-10, mostly beam drones). This special attack can be very destructive if they get through your shields.
Special Defense: The boss has a defense drone deployed during this stage, rendering missiles practically useless (except Pegasus missiles that fires 2 projectiles, or if you have multiple missile systems and you sync up their shots)
Strategy: Despite the weaker special attack, this is not an easy stage, however. The defense drone and boarding drone can make life quite hard. Especially since killing the boarding drone, just makes him fire a new one almost immediately (probably causing a new breach too). There are three ways of dealing with the boarding drone:
- Shooting it down with a defense drone
- Having improved blast doors and ignore it until it enters an important room
- Damage the drone facility enough so that it stops moving
The power surge with all the drones can be devastating if you aren't careful. The Anti-ship drones will all fire at once, and can fairly easily get through your shields if you don't evade enough of the shots. If your shields drop to zero even for a fraction of a second, you may get hit by a lot of beam drones all at once. This can be catastrophic. One easy way to protect yourself from this is to activate your cloak with only one power bar. The cloak will wear off shortly before the drones go away (likely not leaving them enough time to hurt you) and will cool down just in time for you to cloak again for the next power surge. If you use 2 or 3 power bars on the cloak, it will not finish its cool down in time. This does not work with the laser burst power surge in the third stage, as the surges come too often to cloak for all of them.
Stage 3
Special Attack: The special attack of the third stage consists of a burst of laser-like attacks, about 8-9 shots that arrive almost simultaneously, they look like heavy laser blasts but do only 1 damage if get beyond your shields and hit, a well timed use of cloaking is the best way to minimize damage, or highly powered engines, shields, and 1-2 defense drone mark II (this latter is quite intensive on power requirement, but if you are in a bind this way can negate most of the damage if not all).
Special Defense: A Zoltan shield that takes 12 damage. Sometimes if its Zoltan shield is down, after a power surge it does not use its special attack but recharges it's Zoltan shields to full. Restoring its Zoltan shields will destroy all boarding drones (unpowered boarding drones may be unaffected), however boarding parties are unaffected, aside from the fact of you not being able teleport them out.
Strategy: The third stage, the attacks of the rebel ship are the strongest. Where the previous rounds a defensive strategy may have worked, the best way to deal with this stage is to deal as much damage as quickly as possible. The AI usually uses its teleporter to board you straight away, so be prepared to deal with that before you start the third stage fight (they are human boarders, and arrive only 2 at a time, so if you have trained boarders you should either wait with them on your own ship to catch the enemy boarders, or board their ship before they can do yours, and take out their teleporter, or sometimes they don't even board you if you've already boarded them).
If you have taken out all crew in the second stage of the flagship fight, then the ship will not board you. However, the AI that takes over can make the rest of the third phase more dangerous. It is best to leave only several crew alive following the second encounter (preferably you should kill most of them off in the first phase and let the rest die as the flagship loses hull pieces). If the crew are in sealed-off rooms or a critical system (i.e. engines or shields) goes down, boarding will still be disabled. To execute the latter strategy a weapon pre-igniter is absolutely required; damaging either of the aforementioned systems will cause crew to divert for repair.
