blud got too excited

Cloaking level 4 and 5 was removed from the game starting from version 5.4 of multiverse.

​@@terryisopthats a shame

It's not offensively bad in any aspect, but it's not particularly outstanding in any aspect either. The best bonus things this ship has going for it are the shield buffer and cooldown module. Even with cooldown module you still need to boost your offense before you fight the S1 elite because a 61% chance to deal 1 damage to the elite's weapons every 10 seconds is simply not safe. The best part of the virtual store is to give you a pierce module for the S1 elite and its 40 scrap sale value. Other than building up the first mod laser, other hektar weaponry are way too expensive considering a 20% hike up is applied to the virtual store on top of the already expensive default hektar weaponry. What I'm trying to say is that I wouldn't rank this ship above other ships that either don't have to upgrade offense to handle the S1 elite easily, or have more bonus things going for them. Here's an example: SSLG A's offense is certainly not reliable for disabling the S1 elite's weapons, but it comes with a stellar boarding crew as well as a healthy amount of sellables that easily enables a teleporter purchase in S1. That's a ship that has more bonus things going for it. Another example: MV Kestrel's offense can reliably deal 2 damage to the S1 elite's weapons in 13 seconds thanks to the accuracy and pierce on Pierce 1. That's a ship that can spend scrap on shields/systems instead of offense. Also I'd like to clarify that, well, it's a tier list. I have to rank some ships above others, but that doesn't mean low tier ships can't beat the game consistently. I'd wager the top half of E tier could still manage to beat the game 90% of the time including Hektar A. It's really only the F tier and maybe the bottom 5 ships from E tier that are offensively bad and may struggle to reach 90% average winrate.

@@terryisop Wow, thanks for the in-depth answer. I guess it makes sense when you say it like that. Another thing I ought to mention while I'm here, I beat Sylvan for the first time the other day thanks to your guide.

@@Whyamibzsdmh Nice work 👍

Any ship that can get Cloaking and Hacking will be comfortable, with the 3rd auxiliary system being either MC or drone control. A generic ship will be good enough so you have plenty of options even after you discount the ones with limitations like low crew or restricted systems. Though I'd recommend having at least 3 weapon slots. You can use teleporter for fire boarding but it's not as straightforward as the Cloak-Hack cycle.

FTL is the main game and Multiverse is the overhaul mod.

Cool looks fun

It might be a while before I get back to this again since I have other things planned. I will say that the general strategy with Osmian boarding is to swarm them with crew, so usually upgrading TP to bring over a 2nd wave of crew is a good idea. The main issue with Osmian boarding (and the reason it's not rated that highly) is that it doesn't secure fights quickly by itself, so you'll need to rely on weapons/systems to disable enemy offense. I recommend Osmian boarding as a way to solve your early game offense, but if you're already rolling with a non-ballistic gunship then forcing Teleporter may be detrimental if doing so delays Hacking/Cloaking/Drone Control. This isn't a top tier boarding strategy like Phantoms and Lost Suns because it doesn't single-handedly make fights safe. The TLDR of this is that mid-to-late game Osmian boarding is likely going to be carried by a selection of good weapons and/or Hack-Cloak to make fights safe.

@@terryisop That checks out. Thanks for the detailed response!

Hi

Yeah as long as you run Cloak-Hack you can basically do anything.

I think I put it S tier or high A tier, it's really good

gg

Good point, I've just updated the description to have the mods in the correct order.

@@terryisopthanks, I look forward to more FTL videos 😊

Not sure what you mean by CT table. What are you trying to do with crew health?

Outer Expansion

I'm not sure which part of the video you're referencing, but it's likely because the oxygen room was on fire or unbreathable and the enemy crew were too low on health to attempt fixing it.

@@terryisop Я понял. Спасибо.
