Is how i would rate them. This is a tier list.
Ftl Tier List Weapons Coreux
Ftl drone tier list. Boarding drones have the same amount of health and attack as a rockman and will fare similarly in battle. Faster than light drone tier list. Faster than light by subset games. Drone recovery arm should get a boost to top of tier b especially if you pair it with hull repair to get a free 2 repair each jump. Even a tier 3 might be a better choice depending on circumstance. Basically defence drones are great as they protect you from missiles and save you on repairs.
Each category is ranked from top. Boarding drones are used to board the enemy ship without risking your crew. Since ftl is a game of rng you want to minimize any variance as much as possible. Its a surprisingly small tweak because of how limited you are but it makes the ship so much more fun to play. This is not an alignment chart. Two projectiles is both a blessing and a curse.
The one exception in amazing tier would be the pike beam and thats because its fairly easy to get something to break through shields and the trade off is immense. Quadrant view view community rank. Now despite everything just mentioned this ship is still above average on the tier list and thats because the hacking drone control combination truly does offer a lot of value. I find engi c to be the weakest of the lot. Crystal burst mk i crystal a 2 shots with 1 shield pierce but long cooldown and can be stopped by defense drones. Created out of general boredom.
Additionally every time a drone is deployed a drone part is consumed. A boarding drone always causes a hull breach in the room it lands in however the drone doesnt require air and will remain active unless it is destroyed or loses power. Jettison these are weapons that need to be replaced as soon as you find something from tier 0 1 or 2 on the store weapon list. Leto missile zoltan a. To deploy a drone the ship must be outfitted with a drone control system. Zoltan shield bypass should also get a boost and be put in tier b for how much time and damage it saves you against zoltan ships and phase 3 of the flagship.
Again its most similar to the lanius a and the slug c the two other ships in ftl that also start with hacking. Drones are equipment that a ship can utilize to perform various defensive or offensive duties. The endgame of this tiers list is a mod to tweak a few of them ive already been playing an engi b with a an extra drone slot and a vanilla boarding drone. It means the ability to work through a defense drone half damage in the event of a miss and most. The weapons at the top of the list are consistently effective in almost any ship set up.
