Started a run, made two jumps and got this weapon after an easy fight against a shieldless drone. I'm a noob, is it a good weapon (it obviously looks like it is but I'd still like to be sure about it)
I love how no matter what balance mod do I look at, their main feature is always to nerf Hacking into the ground.

Both the sM Polish Kit and Twinge's drastically increase Hacking's cost and reduce the hacking drone's movement speed (so you can't do the disable-enable cheese against DDrones).

Such a ridiculously OP system. Normally to consistently remove 4 layers of shields against a ship with decent dodge, you need a 6-shot salvo in my experience, which can be 2-3 decent weapons of usually 4-6 power, depending on how lucky you got.

Or you can just buy hacking, an easy thing to find, for 80 scrap, then max it for 95. Boom, consistent 4-layer shield removal for 3 power, faster than any weapon would fire, without using up weapon slots, against all ships (need to remove Zoltan Shield ofc). Oh and it also gives vision of the hacked room, the system's full status, and inhibits enemy crew movements.

Winning without compromising your values

This is a bit silly, but I always feel kinda bad for robbing people in FTL. I was wondering if anybody has tried to be a good person and still won. Like if you get prompts to steal supplies you don't, if people ask you for fuel you give it, and most importantly, if people attempt to surrender you always accept their terms. Has anybody tried this?

Evasion shows differently in two places?

Posted: 29 May 2020 07:29 PM PDT

According to this image, I have level 2 piloting with 50% auto evasion.

But in the top left corner shows 24% evasion.

So... how does it work? Is it 50% ou 24%?

Could someone explain it to me?

Do you ever target Piloting before shields in non-escape situations?

Posted: 29 May 2020 04:42 AM PDT

I think I've got a hang on when to target shields vs weapons. For me it comes down to how many shots they have vs my total chance to absorb without hull damage. Shields are the more reliable path to damage, but when their firepower is scary, weapons have to go first regardless.

I think Shields vs Piloting in non-escape situations is more interesting.

One easy case to prioritize piloting is when fighting something with low shield for the sector, but high evasion. Auto-drones fit that picture sometimes.
In more marginal situations, say sector 6, 7, even 8, opponent has high shields and high evasion, I will prioritize taking out evasion if the scenario warrants spending missiles on (because the match is too even)..
3-4 shields with a strong weapon arsenal means I have to take out either shields or weapons first
2-3 shields with a middling or weak arsenal, I'll sometimes go for evasion first to make the rest of the volleys more likely to land.
I'm also toying with prioritizing engines instead of piloting. Piloting goes down fast, but also gets fixed fast. In escape situations though, you need the system to be red to cause delay

Curious when others prioritize taking out evasion before shields (or weapons)

If you want to, here what I have on the background while I game. Enjoy!

Can you unlock the Federation cruiser with the Kestrel?

Posted: 29 May 2020 03:15 AM PDT

I don't like playing with any iteration of the Engi cruiser and want to ask, if you can get the Federation cruiser in the rebel stronghold, even if you play with the Kestrel.
