Each one you install takes up a slot in the Controller subsytem - like weapons do in the weapon system. There's one other subsystem that deserves a section of its own: the Drone Controller.ĭrones come in various types. It resurrects dead crew but is unable to heal them quickly, which can be problematic if you rely a lot on boarding parties. The clone bay from the advanced edition is an interesting one. Without giving too much away, it's also worth flagging up that both these upgrades are particularly useful in the final fight.Īll the other subsystems you can install are useful, but they're generally best used for experimenting with different strategies rather than for a core approach. However, the ability to avoid the initial salvo from an enemy ship, allowing you to get the first strike and disable its weapons systems, can be invaluable. This operates as you might expect: it makes your ship briefly invulnerable then needs a substantial recharge time. The other subsystem to watch out for is the Cloaking Device. Don't teleport aboard ships without oxygen, like automated drones, and don't destroy an enemy while your crew members are on board (else they'll be killed). It's often best to soften up the target room with a volley of shots first, damaging the occupants.Īnd you need to be able to recall your boarding party rapidly if things start to go wrong - a one-bar upgrade to the system can be very useful for accomplishing this. Why is this important? Because if you can defeat a ship by killing its crew rather than destroying it, you'll get a lot more Scrap out of it.īut you need experience and split-second timing to use the Teleporter properly. This enables you to beam crew onto the enemy ship and engage its crew in combat.

Perhaps the most essential - essential enough to have warranted a price increase after the most recent update - is the Crew Teleporter. Good job, too, because several of them are incredibly useful.Ĭloaking is a great way to hide from scary, red, spiky Mantis ships So many, in fact, that you'll probably end up wishing that you could install more than three of them at once.Īs a general rule, the best ones to look out for are those that mean your shields recharge faster, your weapons fire quicker, and your Scrap income increases.īut you can go far beyond mere upgrades: you can install entirely new systems. There are a lot of Augmentations you can purchase for your ship. However, once you're halfway home, things become a lot more varied and a lot tougher.īut don't despair! We're back with another set of handy hints to keep you flying through to the end. If you've read and digested Part 1 of our guide to the Gold-Award winning FTL: Faster Than Light, you should be safely through the first few sectors of the incredibly hostile and dangerous galaxy in which this game is set.
