What you can, though, is leave the laser guy alive. Don't kill all the crew, though, because if you do, the ship switches to an AI that repairs systems and manages the ship, so that's not recommended.

If you kill all their crew, then your boarders have free reign over the ship in the next phases, since the ship's crew doesn't regerate. There's also another cheeky thing you can do against the first flagship if you have boarding. Remember to use the right things for each system, like use ions for shields and lasers for other things. If you have a lot of projectiles, then hack the piloting. If you're having a hard time taking out their shields, hack that.

If you have hacking, hack their shields or piloting depending on your weapon loadout. About its hacking, if it hits a really critical system like weapons, shields, piloting, or engines, just jump away and try again until it hits something like sensors or some other useless system like doors.Ībout its weapons, try to take out the missiles first if possible, but then get their cloaking, shields, and piloting before shooting any of their other systems.

This one has the most systems, yet the least special things.

Now I'll describe how to beat each phase. Either use mantis, rockmen, Lanius, or the secret race(idk if you know about that) Don't board with crew that isn't fit for boarding, though, as that's simply ineffective. It does increase the scrap amount and occasionally reaps other rewards as well. about ions, yes, ion damage is accumulative, and it is usually good to use it on their shields, just throw most of your ions at the system.ĮDIT: To answer your question about boarding, yes. FYI, though, if you want to use it on the second phase, just keep on throwing drones at them, they will miss at one point. Also, hacking drones get shot down by pretty much everything. It transitions between those by jumping away when it dies. about how to keep the thing from 'jumping', the flagship has three phases, the first phase, the drone phase, and the super shield phase. Well, first of all, it looks like you need some basic knowledge of the flagship.įirst of all, to answer your P.S.S. The Piloting Symbol was red.īTW do Defense Drones shoot down incoming hacking Drones? I thought that would be more fitting for Anti-Drone Drones. Hmm, how do I keep it from jumping away? When it only had 4 hullstructure left I began to target its piloting with the FLak II and the engines with the Ion Bomb and a Chain Laser. But if both hit at the same time will it be 25 seconds? Or if it's currently under the 20s lockdown and yet another Ion Damage does occur to the same system, will that extra time be applied to the lockout? So every time the Blaster hits it should lock down that system for 5 seconds, and when the Bomb hits it should be 20s. So how to defeat that Flagship? Simply try as long until it decides to hack into another system?īTW I'd like to know if certain specific damage is cumulative, for example, let's say I target an enemies' weapon system with both an Ion Blaster and an Ion Bomb. (BTW I read here on the forums that killing a crew instead of blowing a ship up gives a bonus to scrap (or generally loot?) and I've tested this out ingame but couldn't make out any difference. So thing is even if I would have been able to get more scrap to boost my systems more it wouldn't have ment anything in this particular case since my weapons are down all the time.

Without the possibility to do any damage to its hull that fight is doomed right from the start. Or here, a current try with the Torus: I haveĭrone Recovery Augmentation, so I could save all Drone parts basically means that I can use these to heal my ship for 60-90 extra HP for that fight (but it turned out to be useless.)Īs said, it will hack my weapons and both Combat Drones are not able to fire through its shields. And then it even had a different setup and boarded my ship with nearly dozens of these ants, then I lost.

I've been able to deplete it of its hull in one of my very first runs with the Kestrel (can't even remember my armament there.) but it simply jumped away only to be at full health on the next turn (even without any repair points or store, so that's what I would call AI cheating for that matter.). It usually simply hacks my weapon systems and once the hacking unlocks it'll take so much time to power them up again the remaining time window is much too little to do much damage at all. Just started to game FTL a day ago and already became addicted^^ but how on earth do I beat that Flagship? All other enemies are somewhat easy to defeat but this one gives me a headache.
