Because of the Long Range Scanner, you can streamline your journey so that you hit those Distress Beacons if you’re trying to unlock the secret ship.

This is a great ship to use if you’re trying to unlock ships. I had a Defense Drone II when I beat the game.ġ1. Even the Defense Drone I goes a long way to keep missiles off your tail. A Teleporter is a great addition to Stealth Ship A, but isn’t as good on Stealth Ship B because of the small Med-Bay.ġ0. Even a level 1 missile will buttress your Glaive Beam significantly.ĩ.

But upgrade your weapons as soon as you can. I made it to Sector 3 with minimal hull damage and expenses. If you cloak effectively, you can get through the first two sectors with ease. The Stealth Ship B is actually very powerful. I would Ion Bomb the Shields, Burst Laster the Weapons, and use my Breach Bomb to prevent further threats if I needed to.Ĩ. When I won, I had a Burst Laster III, a Breach Bomb II, and an Ion Bomb II. You only have 3 weapons slots, but you can still do damage. Even level 1 shields will take you far combined with your level 3 cloaking, you will be hard to hit.ħ. My first major investment is always a shield. Try to use your cloak to effectively avoid damage, so that you save scrap. Since you have no shields, your priority is disabling their weapons.Ħ. I always target weapons systems first with my dual laser and then draw a beam over the weapons and shields simultaneously, if possible. But don’t wait too long or the shields will pop back up.ĥ. The mini-beam is instant, so you need to use your dual laser to drop their shields BEFORE you draw the beam on their ship. Time your dual laser to fire right before your mini-beam. You’ll do well in Sector 1 as long as you don’t encounter too many Zoltan ships or ships with drones.Ĥ. It’s going to take a little luck to get on your feet. There are only 3 levels and it only costs 50 scrap to level it up from level 2 to level 3.ģ. Obviously, level cloaks as soon as possible. If you cloak AFTER they fire, not only do they waste a salvo on you, but their weapons don’t even start charging until your cloak wears off.Ģ. But if you wait and cloak RIGHT before they fire, they’ll just fire upon you immediately after your cloak wears off. Cloak right when they fire their first salvo and your cloak (if it’s a least level 2) should buy you just enough time to fire your beam.Īlso, your cloak stops weapons locks. Unless you’re fighting drones or ships with beam weapons, you should be safe until they fire their first salvo. Because the Glaive Beam takes time to charge, you don’t want to waste that first 10 seconds of ceasefire. This is vital if you’re flying the Stealth Ship B. This will boost your evasion significantly, and the weapons will harmlessly whiz by your ship 7-9 times out of 10. Wait until just after they fire their lasers or missiles, and then turn it on. Do not cloak immediately when you see your enemy, UNLESS you’re fighting drones or Zoltan ships. With the exception of ships with drones, you should be able to fight all ships in Sectors 1 and 2 without much difficulty. To be fully effective, you need to time when you turn it on. You shouldn’t just use your cloak to stop weapon locks. MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL - LEARN TO USE YOUR CLOAK. I beat the game my first time on normal using the Nesasio.ġ. Now, that’s quite a list of Cons for both ships, but despite that, and with some patience, I guarantee that you can use the Stealth Ship effectively. *Without extra power in weapons, Glaive Beam is easily disabled early on *Glaive Beam takes a long time to spool ship is vulnerable early on *Sacrifices points in engines to power the Glaive Beam *Powerful against ships with 2 shields or less *Starts with the Glaive Beam, a high-level beam weapon *If cloaks are damaged, can mean heavy damage for your ship *Hard to face Zoltan ships early on, because of lack of firepower *Fires can be hazardous because of tricky bay door placement *Can be expensive to maintain - no early shields means frequent hull damage. *While Dual Lasers and Mini-beam are effective for the power usage, they are rather weak after sector 1 *Good against Automated Ships and non-beam weaponed ships early on

*Great for scouting beacon types for quests/stores *Great for avoiding environmental dangers and other beacon hazards *Dual Lasers provide 2 1-damage shots for 1 power After many run throughs and tweaking, I’m here to help you unlock the hidden potential of one of my favorite ships. I understand this frustration, because I remember my elation when I unlocked the Stealth Ship, only to find that I couldn’t get it afloat.

I have noticed frustration lately from other players over the difficulty of surviving with the Stealth Ships. FTL Game Stealth Ship Guide by Louisiana Hot Sauce
